The Viennese Psychoanalytical Association was the first formal organization in the development of psychoanalysis arising out of the early informal meetings of the circle that gathered around Freud
Freud spent most of his life in Vienna. From 1891 until 1938 he and his family lived in an apartment at Berggasse 19 near the Innere Stadt or historical quarter of Vienna. As a docent of the University of Vienna, Freud, since the mid-1880s, had been delivering lectures on his theories to small audiences every Saturday evening at the lecture hall of the university's psychiatric clinic.[1] His work generated a considerable degree of interest from a small group of Viennese physicians. From the autumn of 1902 and shortly after his promotion to the honourific title of außerordentlicher Professor,[2] a small group of followers formed around him, meeting at his apartment every Wednesday afternoon, to discuss issues relating to psychology and neuropathology.[3] This group was called the Wednesday Psychological Society (Psychologischen Mittwoch-Gesellschaft) and it marked the beginnings of the worldwide psychoanalytic movement.[4]
This discussion group was founded around Freud at the suggestion of the physician Wilhelm Stekel. Stekel had studied medicine at the University of Vienna under Richard von Krafft-Ebing. His conversion to psychoanalysis is variously attributed to his successful treatment by Freud for a sexual problem or as a result of his reading The Interpretation of Dreams, to which he subsequently gave a positive review in the Viennese daily newspaper Neues Wiener Tagblatt.[5] The other three original members whom Freud invited to attend, Alfred Adler, Max Kahane, and Rudolf Reitler, were also physicians[6] and all five were Jewish by birth.[7] Both Kahane and Reitler were childhood friends of Freud. Kahane had attended the same secondary school and both he and Reitler went to university with Freud. They had kept abreast of Freud's developing ideas through their attendance at his Saturday evening lectures.[8] In 1901, Kahane, who first introduced Stekel to Freud's work,[1] had opened an out-patient psychotherapy institute of which he was the director in Bauernmarkt, in Vienna.[3] In the same year, his medical textbook, Outline of Internal Medicine for Students and Practicing Physicians was published. In it, he provided an outline of Freud's psychoanalytic method.[1] Kahane broke with Freud and left the Wednesday Psychological Society in 1907 for unknown reasons and in 1923 he committed suicide.[9] Reitler was the director of an establishment providing thermal cures in Dorotheergasse which had been founded in 1901.[3] He died prematurely in 1917. Adler, regarded as the most formidable intellect among the early Freud circle, was a socialist who in 1898 had written a health manual for the tailoring trade. He was particularly interested in the potential social impact of psychiatry.[10]
Max Graf, a Viennese musicologist and father of "Little Hans", who had first encountered Freud in 1900 and joined the Wednesday group soon after its initial inception,[11] described the ritual and atmosphere of the early meetings of the society:
The gatherings followed a definite ritual. First one of the members would present a paper. Then, black coffee and cakes were served; cigar and cigarettes were on the table and were consumed in great quantities. After a social quarter of an hour, the discussion would begin. The last and decisive word was always spoken by Freud himself. There was the atmosphere of the foundation of a religion in that room. Freud himself was its new prophet who made the heretofore prevailing methods of psychological investigation appear superficial.[10]
By 1906 the group had grown to sixteen members, including Otto Rank, who was employed as the group's paid secretary.[10] Also in that year Freud began correspondence with Jung who was then an assistant to Eugen Bleuler at the Burghölzli Mental Hospital in Zurich.[12] In March 1907 Jung and Ludwig Binswanger, also a Swiss psychiatrist, travelled to Vienna to visit Freud and attend the discussion group. Thereafter they established a small psychoanalytic group in Zurich. In 1908, reflecting its growing institutional status, the Wednesday group was renamed the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society.[13] In 1911 the first women members were admitted to the Society. Tatiana Rosenthal and Sabina Spielrein were both Russian psychiatrists and graduates of the Zurich University medical school. Prior to the completion of her studies, Spielrein had been a patient of Jung at the Burghölzli and the clinical and personal details of their relationship became the subject of an extensive correspondence between Freud and Jung. Both women would go on to make important contributions to the work of Russian Psychoanalytic Society which was founded in 1910.[14]
Paul Ferdinand Schilder joined the group in 1919

Forums: Index > The Wizengamot > Gone Green?
Has someone recently made a change to the appearance of the Wiki? I'm just wondering, because I'm noticing a lime green colouring in a lot of areas when going to edit that I don't recall seeing before... ProfessorTofty 18:51, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed that as well. I assume Wikia decided to change something again. -Shorty1982 21:21, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I thought so too, at first, except I'm not seeing it on other wikis. ProfessorTofty 21:38, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. As this is the only wiki I visit regularly I didn't notice. Someone in the powers that be must have changed the theme used on this wiki. -Shorty1982 21:45, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I haven't noticed a difference. Then again, I use Monobook, which I know Wikia doesn't support anymore. -- 1337star (talk) 21:42, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I noticed it as well, though I sort of like the original better. Wasn't it there yesterday? Speedysnitch Talk contribs 21:49, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- It started this morning AFAIK. I first saw it this morning when I got on. I'm not sure I like it, I like the grey better that the weird shades of green. -Shorty1982 21:53, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Also, the green one doesn't fit the Harry Potter theme. It pops out a lot. Which I don't like. Speedysnitch Talk contribs 22:03, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm. I could be wrong, but I think it's gone now, or at least, not nearly as pronounced as before. ProfessorTofty 18:05, December 2, 2011 (UTC)
(Reset indent) Still looks about the same to me. -Shorty1982 23:54, December 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Same, still looks the same. Speedysnitch Talk contribs 22:13, December 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, agreed. I think it was just the different monitor that I was viewing it on that caused me to think that. And I agree that it was better the way it was before. ProfessorTofty 22:20, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

If you search for information about Garwolin on the internet, you will find that it is a simple but attractive little town in eastern Poland, about 50km east of Warsaw. Yet 25 years ago, when I lived in Poland, Garwolin was the scene of a nasty confrontation between the forces of communist secularism and Roman Catholicism that has echoes in a landmark judgement last week by the European Court of Human Rights.
The Strasbourg-based court ruled that the display of crucifixes in Italian state school classrooms unlawfully restricted the right of parents to educate their children in accordance with their beliefs. The seven judges contended that the presence of crucifixes could be "disturbing for pupils who practised other religions or were atheists". Read more

• eke •
Pronunciation: eek • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: 1. To add to, to supplement, to extend. 2. To barely scrape by with, to gain very little through very hard work or exertion (often used with out: eke out a living).
Notes: Please do not confuse today's Good Word with the interjection of fright sometimes emitted by children: "Eek!" They are not related. In fact, today's word has no relations according to the dictionaries. You can certainly derive a verbal noun, eking, on the fly but referring to someone barely scraping by as an eker would be pushing your luck.
In Play: Today's is another Good Word tottering on the brink of extinction, especially in its original meaning: "Sandy Beach eked out the pleasure of the sun with occasional dips in a most refreshing ocean while she was on vacation." Here the word clearly means "to add to". The second meaning is by far the more common, though: "Susan Liddy-Gates repaired to Candy's Bar in hopes of eking a little fun out of that dismal day when she lost her first case since becoming a lawyer."
Word History: This word started out in Old English as ecan "add on, augment", a descendant of Old Germanic aukjan. It is easy to see that this word is related to Latin augere "to increase" and Greek auxanein "to increase." The roots of these words are found in several English borrowings such as augment and auxiliary "assistant, support-". If we switch the [a] and [u] and shift the [u] to [w] (common when [u] occurs before a vowel), we get the root of English wax [wak-s] "to grow" as in "to wax poetic". A few more changes and we get waist, an area well known for its growth and additions. (Today's excellent little word is an addition suggested by our old friend and Grand Panjandrum of the Alpha Agora, Mark Bailey.)

The chairman of a trust which runs Catholic schools in Menston and Ilkley has been invited to address a full Bradford Council meeting to explain how plans to cease paying for transport for children in faith schools continues to cause upset amongst the Catholic community.
Bradford Council is currently consulting on plans to cut subsidised transport to and from school for a number of groups. Among these groups are children who attend faith schools that are beyond the statutory walking distance.
Mrs Caroline Hyde, chairman of The Bishop Wheeler Catholic Academy Trust, which runs St Mary's Menston and Sacred Heart, Ilkley, argues this will leave parents from St Mary's and its feeder primary schools with an unforeseen financial burden.
Mrs Hyde has been in regular correspondence with Bradford Council regarding the plans, expressing her grave concerns about the adverse effects of the proposals. The Catholic communities of Addingham, Burley and Ilkley have since raised a petition indicating their opposition to the proposals, which they feel will treat Catholic families differently to those attending other state schools within the area.
Since the petition was presented, Mrs Hyde has been invited to address the full Bradford Council at a meeting to be held on Tuesday, March 25, along with other representatives from the Trust.
Mrs Hyde said: "I am really grateful that the council have given us the opportunity to raise this issue with them directly.
"Parents understand the immense financial pressures on local councils at the moment.
"However, this is a poorly thought through proposal, with little clarity about how savings will actually be made.
"Parents who cannot afford to pay nearly £400 a year per child may have to send their children to other, already over-full, schools, such as Ilkley Grammar.
"Other local children will then be sent to schools further away and the council will have to pay for their travel.
"This proposal will only save money if Catholic families are able to pay, effectively a tax on Catholic families."

Arizona Centennial — Forward thinking: Algae, solar, personalized medicine or none of the above? Some of Arizona's greatest minds look ahead at the state's next century
A century ago, Arizonans with an entrepreneurial spirit ventured deep into the deserts and mountains in search of gold and copper. Today, as Arizona celebrates its 100th birthday, their counterparts are exploring the unknown frontiers of biotechnology and renewable energy.
"Imagine the technologies of 100 years ago," says Steven Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council. "Now, think about how far we have come. Only a very few science fiction writers even envisioned the technologies that are now a part of our everyday lives. It is very likely that (100 years from now), the mix of industries and companies will be very different. There will be subsectors that don't even exist yet. One thing is sure, there will be more technology than ever to drive our economy and improve our quality of life."
So with 100 years in the history books, what's in store for Arizona's next century? One expert says algae will be Arizona's 21st-century gold rush. Will Arizona's yet-to-be-written history prove him to be right?
As part of the Arizona Centennial Series, Arizona Business Magazine asks some of the state's greatest minds how they see Arizona taking shape over the next decade and beyond.
Lee McPheters, director of the JPMorgan Chase Economic Outlook Center at the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University
The next 5 years will be a period of agonizingly slow recovery from the Great Recession. Arizona employment will return to post-recession levels within two to three years, but new, more frugal spending habits will put a damper on growth. The next 25 years has the potential to be a period of strong growth. Under historical growth assumptions, Arizona's population will almost double within 25 years, as the state grows to more than 10 million residents. Phoenix will have a population between 7 and 8 million, larger than the entire state today. Immigration will exceed 125,000 every year by 2030. Over the next 25 years, to accommodate growth, more than 1 million single-family homes will be needed, a seemingly impossible pace of building compared to conditions today.In the next 100 years, the gap between those with education, training and skills and those without will grow even greater as technology will benefit those who develop, control and use it.
Lee Vikre, senior vice president, organizational development and consulting, BestCompaniesAZ, LLC
In the next 10 years, the Arizona workforce will be more diverse than ever before, with wide spans in age ranges of workers and greater cultural diversity. White males may become the minority. Entrepreneurship will be ingrained in workers of all ages who were affected by the recession. This entrepreneurial, independent atmosphere will continue to define Arizona. Homegrown, innovative businesses in the fields of technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and sustainable energy will prosper. The movement towards creating great workplaces will move from a novelty to mainstream as both workers and management discover the competitive advantage of a culture of trust.
Patricia Ternes, financial advisor, RBC Wealth Management, Scottsdale
For the next 100 years, we need to address the concept that the world is flat. Right now, we have multiple currencies and multiple stock markets. The financial services industry needs to better integrate the products and services we offer our clients worldwide. In 100 years, there will probably be huge, world-wide investment markets that are available to everyone 24/7. This will increase the complexity of planning one's financial future.
Steven Zylstra, president and CEO, Arizona Technology Council
In the next 10 years, the biosciences and renewable energy (and even the broader clean tech) sectors will become significant components of our economy. Aerospace and defense, semiconductor and electronics, ITC, and optics will continue to grow. The technology sector will be an ever-increasing component of our economic landscape, leading to more diversity.
Mark Edwards, PhD., vice president of corporate development and marketing, Algae Biosciences, Inc., Scottsdale
Arizona has the critical elements for algae production including lots of sunshine, waste and brine water for nutrients, CO2, and cheap land. The state has a competitive advantage for algae production and will become the algae capital world. Arizona will go from two firms producing algae in 2011 to 200 algae firms in 2020. Arizona producers will cultivate algae for food, feed, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, functional foods, medicines and advance compounds. In the next 100 years, Algae will become the leading industry in Arizona, eclipsing tourism; more than 80 percent of all medicines, vaccines and pharmaceuticals will be made predominately from advanced compounds derived from algae; our fossil-based transportation system will transform to a sustainable algae-based transportation system.
Steve Sanghi, president and CEO, Microchip Technology Inc., Chandler
Given this expansion and the number of semiconductor players that have operations in Arizona, the semiconductor industry is likely to have a significant impact in this state over the next 10 years. This expansion will lead to a sharp increase in the growth of well-paying, high-tech jobs in our state. Take the case of medical advancements. Over the next 10 years, we will see a significant expansion in the use of semiconductors for surgical and analysis equipment; in portable, wearable and implantable medical devices; and in the cost-cutting use of remote medicine, where patients will be monitored by medical professionals in lower-cost regions.
I will, however, add one cautionary note to the optimistic picture I have just painted. The formation of new start-up companies is driven by the availability of venture-capital funding. Arizona continues to be plagued by a scarcity of risk capital, as most venture-capital firms are located in California, Texas and Massachusetts. The result is that those states continue to attract the bulk of VC-backed startups. While Arizona has been a technology hotbed in recent years, we must fix this problem if we are to remain the "Silicon Desert."
Diane Brossart, president, Valley Forward Association
In the next 10 years, Arizona will diversify its economy through green jobs and technology. Renewable energy sectors will proliferate with solar leading the way. In the next 100 years, we will become the solar capitol of the world. Light rail connects Valley cities. Commuter rail takes us across the nation. Arizona is a burgeoning hub of economic activity. Parks and open space dot the landscape. Innovation and technology abound. Our legislature is enlightened and the green revolution leads to new water sources in our vibrant desert oasis, now free of particulate pollution.
Kelly Mott Lacroix, graduate research associate, Water Resources Research Center, Tucson
Over the next 100 years, our water management will need to be flexible and progressive enough to allow us to prosper in the face of supply uncertainty from changes in climate and the continuing growth of our economy. Arizonans will have to make decisions about what we value most about this state and those decisions will dictate how the water issue changes Arizona.
Larry Howell, CEO and president of KEBAWK Response Technologies, a Scottsdale-based engineering company that responds immediately to hazardous or catastrophic disasters
Environmentally-conscious companies like KEBAWK are going to continue to grow and have a much more pivotal role in growing the economy in the next 10 years as businesses strive to be as sustainable as possible. What was once a trendy, cottage industry is now a must for businesses.
Dr. Grace Caputo, director, Phoenix Children's Hospital/Maricopa Medical Center Pediatric Residency
I see medical education as a dominant force in Arizona, especially with the growth of the University of Arizona campus downtown. Innovative pediatric care will continue to be a highlight at Phoenix Children's Hospital, but healthcare overall will continue to improve our community as birth to age 5 is the fastest growing population in Arizona.
Catherine Niemiec, president, Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine & Acupuncture, College & Clinic
In the future, acupuncture and oriental medicine (AOM) will fill the gaps created by high insurance rates, fewer primary care physicians, and seemingly incurable or chronic conditions. Acupuncture can be available for the same cost as a co-payment, supporting the need of those who have no insurance or who need to seek different care beyond what their insurance will cover. A report on "Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States" cites widespread use of CAM, with more future visits to CAM providers than to primary care physicians (with most of these visits paid out-of-pocket).
Kenneth J. Biehl, M.D., radiation oncologist, Arizona Oncology
Long-term changes for the use of radiation in cancer care will involve a combination of treatment directed at the molecular level and immense precision with external radiation. Targeting cancer with radiation at the molecular level has been developed for only a handful of cancers to date. The struggle to find and develop cures at the molecular level will be one of the determining factors in how the people of Arizona will receive cancer treatment for the next hundred years.
Mahesh Seetharam, M.D., medical oncologist and hematologist, Arizona Oncology
In the next decade, electronic medical records will continue to evolve to help coordinate care between the various providers to optimize outcomes. It is very difficult to predict given the current labile healthcare environment. The concept of universal healthcare is very possible, but with that comes the need for additional providers and resources to provide the necessary care. Personalized medicine could be a reality in the next decade or two, and this will certainly improve outcomes.
Lynn Crane, executive vice president, bank operations and services, Mutual of Omaha Bank in Arizona
Mobile devices will replace plastic cards. This will completely change the "check out" experience at retailers. Arizona shoppers will be able to scan merchandise as they pick it up off the shelf and make payment without stopping at a checkout counter when they leave the store. On the negative side, this transition to non-traditional delivery channels will make bank branches less relevant. Online financial consultants will replace branch employees and a trip to the bank will become a thing of the past for Arizonans. Some branches will close and the industry will require a smaller workforce. The future value of currency will not rely on paper, but on digital data, so heightened security concerns and demand for data protection will prevail. As a trusted source of security, banks will play a much larger role in helping Arizonans secure their valuables and their future.
Craig Doyle, Arizona market president, Comerica Bank
Some of the industry segments critical to our future are aerospace and defense, semi-conductor manufacturing, business services technology, health care and renewable energy. Effectively supporting their growth requires a deep understanding of supply chains and related capital markets. It will take time, but the Arizona banking industry should help facilitate the appropriate capital markets so that Arizona is competitive with other major economic regions in helping companies, form, grow and mature.
Michael M. Crow, president, Arizona State University
Within 10 years, ASU will be America's finest example of a widely accessible research intensive public university and in this mode it will be capable of operating at a very rapid and large scale for educational competitiveness for Arizona. In this mode, the university will have deployed its assets to maximize the competitive position of Arizona through its role as a comprehensive knowledge enterprise producing fantastic graduates, ideas and new technologies. ASU will be a critical asset for Arizona going forward over the next 100 years as the knowledge based economy or at least knowledge driven adaptation and innovation to the uncertainties and the complexities that lie ahead in the areas of global finance, economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability and so forth will be such that what universities like ASU do will be more important than ever. This is true specifically for ASU in the context of Arizona as Arizona in the next 100 years grows and matures into America's preeminent example of a free enterprise driven innovation catalyzed state.
Bill Hubert, president and founder of Scottsdale-based Cology, Inc., which helps lenders enter the student loan market
At some point, the cost of education is going to have to "normalize" within the overall economy. For decades, cost of attendance, whether private or public, traditional or trade-based, has increased at much higher than normal rate. Our business of providing financial services that connect students and families with a broad spectrum of relationship based funding sources will certainly help increase access and drive down overall costs – of program administration, funding sources, and even institutional administrative costs.
Deanna Salazar, senior vice president and general counsel of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona
I believe that by supporting community outreach efforts similar to the Green Schoolhouse Series, which makes schools healthy and green "inside and out" through the development of an integrated health and wellness curriculum and green gardens to promote nutrition and wellness in disadvantaged schools, BCBSAZ will continue to be positioned as a leader who is genuinely taking care of the health of Arizonans, in both traditional and non-traditional ways that create a better future for all. For years to come, it's BCBSAZ's hope for the green gardens to teach children about healthy eating and physical activity by allowing them to use and maintain the garden.
Kristin Bloomquist, executive vice president, general manager, Cramer-Krasselt
As I look into a crystal ball, the marketing world as we know it will change dramatically in the next 100 years. It will be forever changed even in the next 10 years. However, brands will not go away. In fact, they will be even more valuable both in the next decade and in the next century if they can evolve as we evolve, as our technology evolves. Those brands that increase in value over time will have very different ways of communicating with consumers. Everything will be personalized. Everything will happen in real time. There's a good chance that 100 years from now, as far as commercial messaging and targeting goes, "Minority Report" will be seen as an amazingly accurate forward-looking documentary rather than a work of fiction.
Rob Davidson, co-owner of Phoenix-based Advertising firm Davidson & Belluso
Think of how social media has drastically impacted communications with customers and prospects in recent years. Marketing and advertising will keep changing at an even faster rate as new technology becomes available. Smart phones and tablets have already become standard channels of any marketing plan. Companies who stay on top of the latest marketing tools and learn about their customers changing behaviors are the ones who will be successful in reaching their target markets.
Mark Bonsall, general manager and CEO, SRP
In the next decade, the growth in wind and solar will continue to be strong, but will still provide a relatively small portion of the needed energy just because the scale of what is needed is so large. It is likely most of the new baseload resources will be fueled by natural gas. New drilling and recovery technology is providing access to vast quantities of natural gas within the U.S. at relatively low costs, at least so far. This provides a good bridge to develop systems that can improve the efficiency of solar systems, address the intermittent nature of most renewable resources, find safe and more cost-effective ways to deploy nuclear power, and provide the time for innovative new ideas we aren't even aware of now.
John Lefebvre, president, Suntech America
With supportive policies, the solar industry will continue to grow and flourish, creating a major employment sector for the state. Additionally, every year the cost of solar is driven down, getting closer and closer to achieving grid parity in the U.S. As solar becomes a market-driven industry, Arizona is poised to be a major global solar industry hub, particularly with the continued development of large-scale solar projects. Ultimately, I hope to see energy generated from solar grow to a significant percent of the U.S. energy supply portfolio and eliminate our dependence on foreign oil, providing a low-cost solution to power our homes and cars. With solar, the sky's the limit.
Rachel Lang and Marcy Briggs, loan officers for the Briggs-Lang team of Cobalt Mortgage
The rental market will continue to strengthen with long-term renters. We also see a stabilization within the Arizona real estate market due to the mortgage underwriting guidelines remaining more conservative than they were five years ago, and slightly less conservative five years from now.
Alan Boughton, director of commercial operations, W.J. Maloney Plumbing
As the population in the West increases and the demand for water intensifies by a seemingly unpredictable water supply and snow pack, innovation in low-flow plumbing fixtures could be our industry's greatest impact on Arizona as more people are forced to live with less water.
CR Herro, vice president, environmental affairs, Meritage Homes
Homes will be built to work better, use fewer resources, be healthier, and adjust to the needs of owners. On the fringe of the market today are homes that can adjust the transparency of windows, extend and retract solar shades, turn on lights, change thermostat settings over a smart phone, and achieve net-zero energy demand. These changes allow homes to adapt to the unique needs of its occupants, offer more control, and waste less energy and resources (money) in their operation.
Danny Murphy, Airport director, Sky Harbor International Airport
The biggest evolution our industry will experience is a transformation of the entire national air transportation system to avoid gridlock in air travel, called "NextGen." This means moving from ground-based technologies to a new and more dynamic satellite-based technology. While airport delays are minimal in Arizona, our passengers are impacted most when traveling to and from other locations and this technology will greatly improve that. Over the next 100 years, continental investment and enhancements to the state's main airports will be critical to serve the needs of Arizona's growing population.
Brad Casper, president, Phoenix Suns
In continuing to operate at the forefront of innovation, the Suns will offer fans the most technologically advanced atmosphere in professional sports, while emerging as the most winning franchise in NBA history. Through strategic partnerships, the Suns will act as a catalyst towards creating a sustainable entertainment and business environment, unmatched by any NBA/WNBA organization.
Catherine Anaya, chief journalist, KPHO CBS 5 News
I think in the next 100 years the marriage between television and computers will be such that we will be doing everything we do on a computer. There will still be a place for television news. However, I don't think we'll see it in the studio format we've been accustomed to seeing. I think we'll end up shooting and broadcasting our news via our smart phones or whatever those evolve into in time. As a result, I think it will create more intimacy and interaction among Arizonans. That may or may not be a good thing as familiarity lines will get blurred.
Teri Agosta, general manager, Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort
The hospitality industry will continue to drive revenue into the Arizona market through increased travelers, due to the aging demographic, who will have more leisure time and money to spend. Also business travel will continue to grow as corporations realize people need direct contact with team members and clients to build a successful business, and webinars and teleconferencing do not meet these needs. Also, our consistent weather will become more valuable to travelers, who will scrutinize their travel spending even more.
Melody Hudson, public relations manager, Gila River Gaming Enterprises
The opportunity for new job creation will become more prevalent than ever before with potential capital expansion opportunities which could result in not only new construction positions, but new positions within the Enterprises' casinos as well. This potential growth could also result in an increase of revenues for both local and national businesses that supply goods and services to the Enterprise. Additionally, potential growth from not only Gila River Gaming Enterprises, but the gaming industry in general in Arizona, would result in larger amounts of funding going to the state for education, tourism, wildlife conservation and emergency services.
Carey Pena, co-anchor, 3TV News at 10 p.m.
There is a generally accepted theory of human knowledge that says: today, we know 5 percent of what we will know in 50 years. In other words, in 50 years, 95 percent of what we will know will have been discovered in the past 50 years. That makes it hard to imagine what 100 years will look like.

Update (December 17, 2013): Under the terms of BCoPD's agreement with Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #4, we are releasing certain information about officers involved in this shooting. They are: Officer Small, a nine-year veteran assigned to Precinct 4/Pikesville; and Officer Cowley, a three-year veteran assigned to Precinct 4/Pikesville.
Update (December 16, 2013): Elisha Pridgeon has been identified as the suspect shot by police on December 15. He has been arrested and charged and is now being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center with bail denied.
Baltimore County Police are currently investigating an officer involved shooting that occurred early this morning.
On December 15, at approximately 6:02 a.m., police were dispatched to the 3700 block of Old Milford Mill Road, 21208 for a check on subject call involving a woman screaming. Upon arrival, officers were informed that the unidentified male suspect attempted to attack a female who was walking near the location. Officers then spoke with the suspect, who was believed to be armed with a knife, and refused to comply with the officers' commands. Officers used tasers, pepper spray and ASP batons in attempt to take the suspect who was large in build into custody. The suspect was able to elude the officers and jumped inside a vehicle he was driving. The suspect then attempted to strike the officers with the vehicle. Two of the officers then discharged their firearms striking the victim at least once. After a very brief pursuit, the suspect who is not being identified at this time was taken into custody.
This incident prompted response by officers from the Franklin and Woodlawn Precincts to assist.
The suspect was immediately transported by Baltimore County EMS personnel to an area hospital. However, the suspect was still being combative and required three officers to escort him to the hospital with the ambulance. Several officers received minor injuries that did not require medical treatment. The female victim in this case was unharmed.
Baltimore County Police detectives are conducting their investigation. The officers involved in the shooting will be assigned to administrative duties until the preliminary investigation has been completed. The officers involved will be identified at a later time per department policy.

MORENCI, Mich. - The Morenci police chief has planned a news conference on Tuesday to discuss efforts to locate three boys missing since Thanksgiving.
In a news release Monday, police say Chief Larry Weeks will provide an update on the investigation and "a shift in the investigative focus."
Nine-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton were last seen at their father's home in Morenci along the Michigan-Ohio state line.
Authorities and volunteers searched for the boys in Ohio and Michigan. Weeks has said he doesn't expect a positive outcome.

Did you know?
The use of the North African donkey to cross the Sahara was replaced by the camel in the 3rd Century AD.
Standing – frozen in bronze – in front of the Kalahari-Oranje Museum in Upington in the Northern Cape is the figure of a donkey harnessed to a crushing mill.
This donkey memorial is dedicated to the many beasts that worked – and died – during the early days of the Lower Orange River Valley development.
The museum itself displays articles and dioramas depicting life along the Orange at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Today, the Orange River Valley is one of South Africa's most fertile fruit-producing areas. Farmers here specialise in export-quality grapes.
Back in 1929, while South Africa was in the dual hardship grip of drought and the Great Depression, the government decided to build the Buchuberg Dam about 120km south-west of Upington to tame the lower reaches of the Orange River, South Africa's longest river, for irrigation purposes.
The 350 men employed here worked by hand, using picks, shovels and wheelbarrows. Toiling in daytime temperatures of more than 40 degrees Celsius – and by oil lamp at night – they often called upon the assistance of donkeys in their efforts. One worker included them in his ode to the Buchuberg project workers:
'Yapping dogs and donkeys bray
Troubled callers every day
Tattered clothes in bright array
Does the pay cart come this way?'
The donkeys you see all over South Africa today – mostly pulling carts – originate from those tiny little asses bred in Europe, Asia and North Africa centuries ago. In many countries, the noble donkey has become a household pet. In South Africa, however, donkeys are, literally, the workhorses of rural communities.
Many city dwellers think of donkeys as dumb animals. In fact, they are thoughtful, sensitive and handsome beasts with a highly developed sense of survival. That look he's just given you is not the 1000-yard stare of stupidity – he's actually gazing deep into your soul…

Update, 7:09 p.m: The Rangers have signed Wade Redden. This merits its own post.
Update, 7:07 p.m.: Voros signed for three years, $3 year million ($1 million per). Still no word on Rissmiller or Jamtn's terms.
Update, 6:48 p.m.: Rozsival clocks in at four years, $20 million.
Update, 6:15 p.m.: Too many Swedes! In addition to announcing the Rissmiller signing (who is not a Swede), the team also has signed forward Andreas Jamtn from the Swedish Elite League. Maybe Sundin and Naslund really are next.
In other news, Brian Rolston is again a Devil, cashing in at four years, $20 million per.
Update, 5:59 p.m.: The Rangers have also confirmed Michal Rozsival's deal is imminent.
The 29-year-old Rissmiller is another big body wing. He had eight goals and nine assists in 79 games for the Sharks last year. He is coming off a sports hernia surgery that he played through in the postseason.
The natural conclusion one could draw from the Rangers signing two edgy left wings today is they're preparing for life without Sean Avery.

Police have discovered what appear to be human remains after fire engulfed a shop in a rural town in north-east Victoria.
The Country Fire Authority was called to the blaze at the Whitfield General Store, 50 kilometres south of Wangaratta, about 3.50am on Monday.
Ten tankers were involved in fighting the fire, but the shop was completely destroyed, a CFA spokesman said.
A police spokeswoman said a crime scene had been set up at the shop and local detectives, as well as fire investigators, were examining the circumstances around the fire.
Arson squad detectives from Melbourne are expected to arrive later on Monday, she said.
Police are continuing to look for a woman, who is unaccounted for. Further information about her identity is not known. Whitfield is a town of about 420 people.
Anyone with information, or who may have seen anything, is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

MANSFIELD, Ohio Eager to turn the tables on his rival, President Barack Obama on Wednesday cast Republican challenger Mitt Romney as an advocate of tax cuts for the richest people in America at the expense of popular tax breaks for most everyone else.
Romney, Obama declared, is asking you to pay more so that people like him can get a big tax cut.
The president was reprising the middle-class tax debate with campaign stops in Ohio in Republican-friendly Mansfield and in the Democratic stronghold of Akron. The trip came at the start of an August campaign drive toward the two parties national conventions at months end and early September.
Countering the Republican argument that Obamas proposals would hurt small businesses, Obama charged that Romneys tax proposal would force many people to give up popular tax deductions for home mortgages, health care and college tuition. He pointed to a new report that concluded Romneys economic plan would shift the tax burden from wealthy taxpayers to low- and middle-class taxpayers.
Folks making $3 million or more a year would get a quarter of a million dollar tax cut, Obama told more than 2,000 supporters. But listen, it gets worse. Under my opponents tax plan, who do you think gets the bill for these $250,000 tax cuts? You do.
Invoking the study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, Obama said Romneys plan would result in a tax increase of more than $2,000 a year for an average family with children.
Ohio, we do not need more tax cuts for folks who are already doing really well, he said.
The Romney camp dismissed the study as a partisan report, noting that one of its three authors, Adam Looney, was a former member of Obamas economic policy team. Another author, William Gale, however, was a senior staff economist for President George H.W. Bushs Council of Economic Advisers.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/3/2013 (1628 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between.
It's not clear that Sam Katz is a fan of the late, great Johnny Mercer, a crooner who co-wrote and recorded Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive in late 1944. It was very much a song for the times, an anthem for hope that connected with music lovers all over the globe recovering from the ravages of the Second World War.
Still, although the mayor is not quite old enough to have enjoyed the song when it was first released, there was evidence Friday he may have adopted it as his personal theme song.
Exhibit 1: the 2013 state of the city speech. In contrast to past speeches that have been a bit edgier, Katz was most definitely Mr. Positive this year. It was a decidedly optimistic, glass-half-full address that was, in both content and delivery, pretty impressive.
The mayor used three stylish, high-concept videos in his speech. Each featured prominent citizens, opinion leaders and advocates talking about how the city is improving the state of infrastructure, public amenities and recreational opportunities for kids.
To be fair, there is a lot to be proud of in this city, and Katz is correct to demand some credit. When people disparage local government, they rarely consider the solid, effective programs it offers to improve the life of its citizens. You can't dispute the fact these things happened on his watch.
However, accentuating the positive will only take you so far. For the audience at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, it was at times hard to completely eliminate the negative while the mayor delivered a medley of his greatest hits.
This is a mayor who has been dogged by controversy in the last year. From an audit into real estate transactions, to missteps in the building of new fire stations, and revelations the mayor bought a home in Arizona from the family of an executive of one of Winnipeg's biggest developers, the past year has been a bit of a mess.
More importantly, when people gather to discuss the future of Winnipeg, it's not hard to find someone who thinks the city is bad at finding solutions. Some believe local government is the problem.
Katz does not do a good job of disputing that latter notion with his propensity to overreach while trying to claim victories. So much so, that as he tries to build a case for optimism, he tends to trigger his critics' gag reflex.
For example, on Friday, Katz trumpeted an increase in the number of people living downtown. It is not unfair to point out there is still a dire shortage of downtown residents, and most downtown advocates consider city initiatives to encourage people to move to the core woefully inadequate.
Another example was in the mayor's videos. In one clip, an IKEA official congratulates the city for doing a good job of improving roads around the new store. Obviously left out of this idyllic scene is the very real concern that Winnipeg unfairly subsidized IKEA and developers by spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on something developers should have carried. Katz seems blissfully ignorant that at the very least, the value of the city's investment around IKEA is still being debated.
Consider this gem: In the post-speech scrum, Katz confirmed, more or less, that he would be running for re-election in fall 2014. A mayoral re-election campaign has to start at least a year in advance of the vote, making this the last state of the city speech before the real work of winning another election starts.
In the past, Katz has waffled about his plans, but this time he was leaning toward re-election. "Can you think of any reason I should not run?" he asked.
As soon as he said that, another reporter reminded Katz that if he did run for a third full term, he would be formally contravening the two-term limit he once voted for at council.
The measure to introduce term limits did not succeed, which apparently opened the door for Katz to run again. "I've always said, 'Council is supreme,'" Katz said with a broad grin.
In politics, coy is occasionally an effective posture, but this is just annoying. Is he running or not? Does he consider term limits a serious issue or not? Katz is under no obligation to announce his re-election plans now, but surely he could resolve the issue of whether term limits were ever a priority. Treating it as a joke now suggests it was not a serious concern then.
In keeping with the moral of Mercer's catchy tune, Katz's speech was a triumph in accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative.
As for his future, and the impact nagging scandal will have on his plans, he remains very much Mr. In-between.

for a month or two, then all the Android phone makers and Blackberry will come out with their latest and greatest to get it back.
I see so many people who is switching to S3 right now, don't even bother to wait for the new iPhone. Don't bother to wait because there is nothing really new coming, just different look but basically function and feel the same.
I doubt the iPhone 5 will do much. With the way Apple have been treating everyone else it looks like the other phones will be selling more.
I would laugh if the Galaxy S3 sold more the week the iPhone 5 was released. LOL
Lack of supply and the possiblity of needing a nano sim will slow down the sales of the iPhone 5, everyone I know has already upgraded from their iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 to the GS3, I'm the only one in my group of friends who has stuck with my iPhone 4 and I don't see much from the iPhone 5 to motivate me to upgrade
^^you have a valid point unison999. They are grabbing what they perceive to be "the best in the market" at this particular time. Yes many will purchase the new iPhone and then Android will make a copy haha! Although..it will be interesting to see if they take the proper course of action, so as not to "copy" Apple's iPhone and incur the deadly Court Games that are never going to end..we shall see!
No as you just said.. the Sll & Slll & Sl ..neither have majjor updates.. other tha Hardware.. so you have no point of telling people what to wait for or not...
Having the NFC, AMOLED or whatever tech on your phone but if your OS is a sh*t... the phone will remain a sh*t..
Android is the stupiest OS ever seen. By the look of its GUI, the way everyone can go in and develop something and with no rules... Apps being submitted without checking for Trash/ Bugs/ Hacks/ Malware etc.....An OS that is everywhere even in the CHEEPEST phone from $1 in CHINA..
Where is the respect for your OS ? Spreading an OS like its a B*tch... Being everywhere doesnt meen your good and performing good. You need to respect your self..they need to stop spreading Android to what ever device they find.. make the think a Great OS...Thats why ist so Buggy and Malware vurilnable
Is no one else as excited about the new Lumia 920 as me? That thing is slick. Wireless charging, HD display, LTE, NFC, Windows Phone 8, and pureview camera. That thing is loaded.
I feel like these figures are extremely optimistic but what do I know?
HAHAHA!!!! I am not so sure this is true. Will Apple outsell Android and BB? Most likely. But I find it highly unlikely Apple will "cost Android and BB dearly".
Many current iPhone users I talk to say they are "Seriously" looking to drop Apple and move to an Android device. A few have said they might move to Windows phone. They, like me, are sick of the lack of choice. Every upgrade is so insignificant that it sometimes makes no sense to upgrade. I am no Fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but I LOVE my iPhone. I would love to upgrade to the iPhone 5 but so far the only improvement that appears to be coming is a slightly faster processor and ever so slightly larger screen.
The look of the phone doesnt need to really change. I think it looks great the way it is. The stretched size doesnt turn me off at all. Its still too small for me though. I will need to see a few HUGE improvements in software in order to take my eyes back from an Android device. I want to see the ability to have widgets and would really like to have live wallpapers. I know these can be done through jailbreak tweeks but I want them on a stock iPhone. I dont like having to have all my apps clogging up the screen.
The problem with Apple is that so many people will buy whatever they put out so there is no real incentive for them to be innovative and advance the technology. Many people I talk to agree with me and this could mean trouble for Apple.
Thats my opinion. If the Fanboys dont like it, oh well. People can have different opinions without being haters or Fandroids.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/10/2013 (1420 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
EDMONTON — Where have these guys been?
Three faces who weren't in the Winnipeg Jets' lineup at the end of last season contributed four goals and the Jets rallied from a two-goal hole to upend the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 in Tuesday night's season opener in Rexall Place.
Michael Frolik, acquired during the summer from the Chicago Blackhawks, fired two goals including the winner with 5:02 to play to give the Jets their first season-opening win in their three years back in Winnipeg.
Rookies Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba also beat Oilers goalie Devan Dubnyk.
Bryan Little had Winnipeg's other goal and goalie Ondrej Pavelec was very good in the third period with 14 saves.
Trouba knotted the tying goal at 9:06 of the final period, stepping up to intercept a risky Oilers pass in the neutral zone and returning the puck to the Oilers zone for a big slapshot.
The Jets rallied from a 4-2 deficit at the game's half-way point.
Taylor Hall and Ales Hemsky had staked the home team to the two-goal margin with goals less than five minutes apart, but before the second was over, Frolik confirmed the Jets' continuing interest in the result with a hard shot to cut it to 4-3 by the intermission.
Doling it out
Under the category of trust, any wondering that Jets coach Claude Noel would be hesitant to play his rookies Mark Scheifele and Jacob Trouba got an initial answer on Tuesday night.
Noel sent Trouba into the deep end in his first NHL game, playing the 19-year-old 15 minutes in the first two periods and 25:02 overall.
Scheifele, looking fairly confident in the middle of the second line with Evander Kane and Devin Setoguchi, made his fair share of things happen on Tuesday, and wasn't far behind in playing time, 13:14 after two periods and 17:58 for the night.
Hurt by killing
Kind of like last season's start, the penalty killing was a huge liability.
Edmonton scored on its first two chances of the game, needing only 39 seconds of advantage time for the first two goals. One game does not a trend make, but it's a start that could cause a jitter or two, given that the Jets were 59 per cent in penalty killing eight games into last season.
Power in that start
The league's worst power play in the 2013 shortened season got off to a good start on Tuesday night. Jets rookie Mark Scheifele scored his second NHL goal on the team's first chance, tying the game at 3:25. Winnipeg went one for two with the man advantage in the first.
Last season, it scored at a clip of 13.8 per cent.
Shuffling early
With Grant Clitsome's injury, Jets coach Claude Noel shuffled his defence pairings yet again. The hope had been to play Clitsome with Dustin Byfuglien early in the season, but Byfuglien went back to his partner from the majority of the last two seasons, Toby Enstrom.
That left Zach Bogosian, who was going to start with Enstrom, to take on rookie Jacob Trouba. Winnipeg's third pair was Mark Stuart, Trouba's projected mentor/partner for the start of the season, and Paul Postma.
EDMONTON — Clean slates and new beginnings are the themes for tonight's NHL season-opener for two teams that missed the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring.
The Winnipeg Jets, now in their new home in the Western Conference, face off against the Edmonton Oilers at 9 p.m. CT at Rexall Place.
The Jets were four points off the playoff mark last April, with 51 in 48 games. Edmonton finished with 45 points and missed by 10.
After their shabby 1-4-3 pre-season, the Jets said after this morning's skate they're raring to go.
"It hasn't been that bad," said centre Bryan Little. "We'd like to have done a little better in exhibition but it's over now and it's a clean slate. I think everyone's a bit tired of practising and playing exhibition games. I think we're ready for the real thing now. I think everyone's real excited."
The Jets' franchise, including its Atlanta years, has only made the playoffs one time.
"It's a long summer but I've had five or six of them so I really want to change that this year," Little said. "It sucks being at home, being bored, doing nothing, watching other guys play in the playoffs.
"Hopefully this summer coming up is a lot shorter. That would be nice."
Left-winger Evander Kane, coming off a 17-goal performance in the shortened season, said the Jets are more than eager for 2013-14.
"The first game of the season, everybody's really excited about it," Kane said. "For us, it's a year we want to make a statement throughout the league and to ourselves and it all starts tonight."
Kane will be on Winnipeg's second line tonight with Devin Setoguchi and rookie centre Mark Scheifele.
"I feel the best I've ever felt," Scheifele, who has started the previous two seasons with the Jets before being returned to junior, said this morning. "I feel confident, I feel strong. The past few years maybe I felt a little intimidated a little and this I feel like I fit with any guy in the league, skate with anyone. I can't wait to get it started."
Tonight also marks the first game for former Winnipeg Jets defenceman and Manitoba Moose captain Dallas Eakins as Oilers head coach.
Eakins said this morning he wasn't too caught up in the event, not like he was when he made his NHL playing debut for the Jets in 1992-93.
"I think I was trembling when I played my first NHL game," he said. "I'm much more at ease now than I was then.
"I haven't thought much about it. I think you get so busy that you're into it. I'm just so excited to get going, to get playing, see where we're at."
The Jets and Oilers played one game in Winnipeg in the 2011-12 season, and not at all in the lockout year. Tonight's game marks the first visit by a Jets team to Edmonton since March, 1996.

Jennifer Aniston acting like a bitch? Inconceivable!
Jennifer Aniston isn't making any "friends" on the set of her new movie The Baster. And in related news, I'm going to dive into traffic for writing that last pun.OK! Magazine reports:
"In the morning, the cast and crew had to wait to start filming without Jen because she asked for extra time to finishing blow-drying her hair," reveals one source.
And when the lunch bell rang, not only did Jen not deign to eat her Cobb salad in the company of her new co-workers, she actually had herself driven to her trailer so she could eat alone!
"Jen refused to walk even a step outside the restaurant during the break for lunch," says an insider. "She had her car pull up right next to the restaurant so she could be driven less than a block to her trailer to avoid photographers."
Although, in her defense, Jennifer Aniston did just break up with a guy who'd rather Twitter than stick his penis in her vagina, so maybe we should cut her some slack. But not until I finish tweeting about my breakfast: "just ate a Pop Tart. they're my favey's!!!1 :D" Okay, done.
EDIT: Added pics from today. Timeliness: I'm aware of it.

At 107 years of age, Australia's last surviving soldier from the western front of World War 1 died June 24th. Mr Casselly was also believed to be Australia's oldest male reported The Sydney Morning Herald June 25 - 26, 2005, p1. His family believed he could have lived longer if he had not fallen out of his bed last week. Casselly's main claim to fame was the longevity of his marriage - he and his wife Monica had been married for 80 years and 10 months when she died at 102 years old last year. "The passing time never changed the loveliness of my wife for me. She remained a beautiful blessing throughout our long marriage," he had said.
Editorial Comment: Our present society conceives 107 years as a long time, largely due to a sad ignorance of Biblical history which includes people such as Methuselah who is recorded as living for 969 years. This lack of knowledge is one result of people's acceptance of the evolutionary framework of history, in which life has progressed from non-living, to short-lived single celled creatures, to animals which lived for a few years, to man who averages only 70 to 80 years lifespan, to the future with people trusting scientists to find ways to extend man's lifespan, so we can live forever. One of the best evidence the Biblical history of Creation, Fall and Flood is correct, is the fact that nobody wants to die. But scientists who dream they will find a way to give man internal life will be sadly deluded. We do not die because of physical aging. We die because death is the penalty for a moral problem called sin. The only way out, is for the penalty to be paid. The good news is that the Creator Jesus Christ's death on a Roman cross at Calvary did pay this penalty. All who accept by faith Christ's death as payment for their sin, do receive eternal life - not on this planet, but in the new heaven's and the new earth. (See Revelation 21-22) (Ref. Genesis, death, education)

Does justice look this monstrous?

Whatever little bit of respect I had for some of the 'mainstream' media, is shrouded in agitation today. Almost every channel from one of the acclaimed 'world-democracy' flashed the news of ' Kasab sentenced to death – justice served'.
