Just like in real football, there's not a lot of patience in fantasy football. In the NFL, jobs are on the line in every game, in every practice. In fantasy, roster spots are constantly at stake, as the pressurized nature of the game asks us to be proactive in our management. The market for talent in fantasy seems to vacillate endlessly because of the steady stream of injury reports and commentary that we digest on a daily basis, in addition to plain old production.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis had a single strong outing and his ownership jumped from 1.5 percent last week to 51.9 this week. Tennessee Titans safety Michael Griffin had an atypically awesome tackle-heavy performance and is significantly added as a result. Should we follow the "public" and consider these popular additions as sound commodities?
We are constantly pursuing precision in our management and seeking the ideal timing for acquiring, starting and releasing specific commodities. On the offensive side of the ball, following the add/drop trends might not as be as useful, given that most fantasy managers can read several articles as to which players make for the best additions each week. Essentially, I think it's becoming increasingly difficult to be savvy on the waiver wire in this age of profuse information. Even the laziest cat in your fantasy league can read bullet points on each week's impact waiver considerations.
On this here defensive side of the ball, tracking the ownership trends can be somewhat valuable. I'm going to go ahead and purport that the individual defensive player (IDP) manager is a little more intense about his or her business, particularly when it comes to managing defenders. What I mean is with such a small group of competitors (roughly 10 percent of ESPN leagues) and such a large pool of talent (any NFL defensive player) the additions made each week are seemingly more precise and immediate, while offensive additions are more speculative and conditional because they focus on potential returns and upside in most cases. To wrap up this convoluted pitch, I'll simply suggest that each week you peruse your league's player pool and consider how the IDP marketplace is fluctuating. Sometimes you'll find a gem that your peers have unearthed for you.
Front Four: The weekly word on the world of defenders
Infirmary: Close to a month into the season, the injuries are piling up. The most significant loss of the season so far is likely the Cleveland Browns'D'Qwell Jackson, who entered the season with a serious pectoral injury and was recently placed on injured reserve. Let's forgive how strange it is that he wasn't placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and didn't reportedly suffer any serious setbacks. Instead, consider the fantasy takeaway here. The result of Jackson's lost season is that cagey veteran Eric Barton will remain in a favorable inside linebacker spot for the Browns, which could lead to a healthy stream of tackles. Consider Barton in deep leagues or as an immediate bye-week commodity. The Detroit Lions DeAndre Levy was high on sleeper lists this summer, but his lingering injury issues have seen his ownership dip below 30 percent in ESPN leagues. Keep an eye on Levy over the next couple of weeks to see if any of the hype materializes into production. The Buffalo Bills Paul Posluszny is coming off his annual injury sabbatical and can be had for free in over 30 percent of ESPN leagues. Facing what could be a run-heavy New York Jets offense this Sunday in Orchard Park, expect Posluszny to hit double-digit tackles in his return.
Best Byes: The bye week for a stud fantasy commodity can be a frustrating reality, even for the well prepared. This is particularly true in the IDP realm, in which we often can't bear all of the byes and find that sometimes a legit performer must be let go for the roster space alone. The flip side is if a manager can make room on a roster to accommodate this reality, then he or she can be proactive and pursue any compelling bye-week casualties that surface in the league. This week, the most-dropped list for defenders is filled with talents on bye. Tampa Bay Buccaneers tackle-machine Barrett Rudd saw a near 10 percent drop in ownership this week. The Minnesota Vikings trio of talents, Jared Allen, Antoine Winfield and Chad Greenway, saw small dips in ownership, too.
Return Rewards: One of the most common requests that I often don't get around to accommodating, besides the whole toilet seat thing, is to cover the impact of return yardage on the IDP talent pool. A percentage of leagues out there reward return yardage and, in some cases, it can seriously impact the value of a player. Many of the e-mails I receive about return yardage focus on the lack of resources for such a specific setting and ask where to find good analysis for this format. The best resource, it seems, is to simply peruse the numbers and hunt for the defensive backs who are significantly contributing yardage. It's not shaping up to be great year for defensive backs, particularly fantasy-worthy ones, but I'll mention a few that merit some consideration. The Philadelphia Eagles Ellis Hobbs was once an elite returner for the New England Patriots and is currently entrenched in a return role. The Chicago Bears'Danieal Manning was stellar on kick returns last season, and is warming up lately, with a big return against the Green Bay Packers this past Monday. In deeper and keeper leagues, keep an eye on Kansas City's Javier Arenas, the much younger and faster cousin of Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas.
WWWWD: What would Will Witherspoon do? He ended up in Tennessee as somewhat of a castoff and is beginng to attack quarterbacks on the regular. With a sack in each of his first three outings, Witherspoon is reminding veteran IDP managers of his monster 2007 campaign in St. Louis, in which he tallied 110 tackles and seven sacks. While the tackle pace isn't nearly as profound, the Titans are certainly apt to use him on blitzes and maximize his value in that role. He's rostered in less than 7 percent of ESPN leagues, but there's no risk to go with considerable rewards for taking a flier on the wily vet.
IDP Rankings Week 4: The Top 10 linebackers, lineman and defensive backs
So that we're working from agreed parameters, we'll use what many consider traditional scoring modifiers for an IDP league: Tackle - Solo (0.5), Tackle - Assist (0.25), Sack (3), Interception (3), Forced fumble (3), Fumble recovery (3), Touchdown (6), Safety (2), Pass defended (1), Blocked kick (2).
Defensive Linemen
Defensive Backs
Bargain Bin: Worthy defenders available in more than half of ESPN leagues
The aforementioned Griffin can't be relied on for double-digit tackles on a weekly basis, but his larcenous ways in the passing game have long been a part of his game. In leagues that significantly reward turnovers, Griffin bears added value. Keep an eye on the injury status of the Arizona Cardinals Paris Lenon heading into Sunday. If he's a go, consider him a quality bye-week plug-in because he'll be busy chasing down the San Diego Chargers offense this week. The Carolina Panthers James Anderson gets to the ball quite often, and this is a good thing. The New England Patriots Pat Chung could be busy against a Miami Dolphins offense that might just have to pass early and often to keep pace with the Patriots offense. The Panthers Charles Godfrey will be busy pursuing the New Orleans Saints bevy of receiving talents. Rocky heads back to Philly this week, Rocky McIntosh that is, and you should consider him before everybody knows about him.
Going forward, please contact me at email@example.com with any of your IDP questions.
Kevin Vickery: Where can I go to find more IDP research? Your analysis so far has been very helpful but IDP leagues are run in so many ways one person simply can't cover everything.
Jim: This is true, Kevin. The resources for IDP are somewhat limited, especially given the amazing variety within the format itself. Without naming specifics, I can say that there are several accomplished and worthy IDP analysts out there, and I suggest you go out and read as much as possible as a means to glean as much of an edge and understanding as possible. Us IDP nerds aren't that hard to find. More than anything, I suggest, like I always have, you simply pore over the numbers each week. Look through box scores, your peers' rosters, the waiver wire and what not and you will find that the commodities will find you eventually.

Daphne Mayfield sought a moment of quiet in a park—a break from city life, a tense relationship, and chronic overwork—but then an elderly woman makes a desperate plea. Daphne is reluctant to get involved when she's not sure what's happening, but she wants to help the stranger. Is the rambling old lady the victim of a crime or a victim of dementia?
As her unease grows, Daphne can't let go of the encounter. No matter what her boyfriend or her friends say. No matter what the retired homicide detective warns. Though she knows she's meddling in other people's lives, her instincts scream that the danger is real.

This build has been archived as of 03:06, 16 December 2008 (EST), for the following reason:
This build had been designed for the following use:
This build was in the category No category specified before being archived.
This build focuses on the use of the Monk elite Restore Condition to remove harmful Conditions that affect a party. With the excellent healing bonus provided by Restore Condition, the user is able to accomplish more than one task at a time; both removing conditions, as well as providing healing for the party. In combination with an Assassin's Shadow Arts skills, you gain additional defense on top of your existing protection from Enchantments in the Protection Prayers line
Attributes and SkillsEdit
<pvxbig> [build prof=monk/assas protec=12+1+1 divine=12+1 shadow=3][reversal of fortune][optional][restore condition][guardian][spirit bond][Aura of Stability][holy veil][return][/build] </pvxbig>
Equipment Edit
- A positive energy set, and a negative energy set for weapon swapping.
- A weapon of Enchanting can lengthen the duration of your enchantments.
- Note that a weapon with a Crippling upgrade can increase the duration of Cripple, inflicted by Return.
Usage Edit
- Spirit Bond is to be used for extra protection, damage reduction and potential healing.
- Cast Reversal of Fortune for an immediate heal and damage prevention.
- Remove harmful conditions and heal allies with conditions on them with Restore Condition.
- Hexes can be removed with Holy Veil. Be wary of maintaining this enchantment as it harms your energy pool.
- Shadow Step away from targets to your allies with Return. Note the crippling condition it inflicts on nearby foes.
Counters Edit
- Heavy Energy denial can be devastating if you're caught unprepared.
- As with many other healing builds, Diversion can be very harmful if it hits a critical spell.
- Note that the basis of this build does not involve removing conditions on yourself, unless you've taken an extra condition-removing spell for yourself.
Variants Edit
- Some may wish to replace Spirit Bond with Protective Spirit.
- For self condition removal, take Dismiss Condition (can also act as a heal on others) or Mending Touch.
- An excellent skill for both condition and hex removal with no energy costs, would be Purge Signet. Since the majority of your skills cost only 5 energy, weapon swapping with Purge Signet can be extremely useful, and with low energy recovery times thanks to your cheap spell costs.
- Return, while the preferred self-protective ability, can be replaced with Dark Escape.
- Aura of Stability can be replaced with Shield of Absorption.

Nazi war crimes trial transcripts challenge viewers to investigate their conscience.
PLYMOUTH, N.H. — The Plymouth State College Department of Music and Theatre presents Paul Weiss's political drama, The Investigation (Der Ermittlung) February 20-24 at the Silver Cultural Arts Center on Main Street in Plymouth. Performance times are 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday.
The Investigation presents Weiss's version of events at the Auschwitz trials, which he attended in Frankfurt, Germany. The play is constructed as an oratorio, with scenes developed in a series of 11 free verse cantos with titles such as "The Platform," "The Camp" and "ZyklonB." Dramaturg Alex Gross wrote, "Weiss shapes the huge amount of material, reducing it to a compelling indictment of what happened at Auschwitz. … Oddly enough, the play is not so much agonizing as surprisingly serene, with an even more surprising dimension of forgiveness."
The Investigation conveys the reality of Auschwitz by using the language of history – transcripts from the trials. PSC Director Paul Mroczka says, "Students find it moving when we read this play in class. It is written as a poem and presents real acting challenges." He says it is important to find a balance between the oratorio and action, "to keep the literary nature of the drama, while developing characters that are interesting and engaging. That requires searching for words and phrases that create energy for the characters, and highlighting interactions among those characters."
According to Mroczka, "Critics found The Investigation fascinating, but had trouble calling it a 'play' because it has no clear beginning, middle or end. But that is also it's strength. People can experience it as a theatrical event – as a piece of history – and figure out their own connection to it. The play is an investigation of each of us, in terms of what we would be willing to do to survive."
Weiss was born near Berlin in November, 1916 and fled Germany with his family in 1934, eventually settling in Sweden. A painter, novelist, filmmaker and playwright, his first produced play was staged in 1950. He achieved an international reputation in 1964 with his production of Marat/Sade. The Investigation followed in 1965.
Tickets for the performance are $9 general admission at the PSC box office, (603) 535-ARTS. If special accommodations are needed, please call in advance. The production is not suitable for children.

New numerical results, based upon the concept of solidification, are produced which match the intriguing dimple observed by Kaneta in elastohydrodynamic lubrication of point contacts under pure sliding conditions. It is shown that Kaneta's dimple is consistent with transport conditions of a solidified lubricant in the high-pressure region of the conjunction. The difference of velocity between the average velocity of the solidified core and the mean entraining velocity is referred to as 'slip'. The value of slip is shown to be related to the stress at the wall, which is deduced from the limiting shear stress.

A dramatic performer of the film and television world, "James Madio" is an extremely gifted American celebrity. The gifted performer can be famous for his remarkable performance in the television series 'Band of Brothers'. James sets his first step in this world on 22ndNovember, 1975 in Bronx, Ny, Usa. While developing the school instruction, he was actively involved with the institution plays. At only the age of 15, he gave his first audition for the film 'Hook'. His incredible acting abilities captured the eye of the director, Steven Spielberg who picked him for the picture.
Talking about his performing career, in the year 1991 he made his first appearance in the film titled 'Hook'. He was well valued for his outstanding performance in the film. Following annually of this, he was casted in the character of Billy Cardillo in the short film titled 'The Godson'. The exact same year in 1992, he showed his extraordinary performance in the films 'Mac' and 'Hero'. In the year 2008, he reached to the brand new peak of success when he portrayed the character of Bernie in the film called 'Love Lies Bleeding'. His other appreciable film performances came in 'West of Brooklyn', 'Dough Boys', 'Sheltered', 'The Last Push' and 'Kick Ass'. Along with his outstanding performance in the different films, he's been successful to develop recognition through appearing in the many television series.

The Presidential Election of 1984 between Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale was considered historic, especially when it was announced that Geraldine Ferraro was going to be the Democrat Vice-Presidential nominee. She was to be the first woman nominated to that position by a major political party (sound familiar?).
Mondale had hoped his nominating a woman would appeal to women voters and he would be the beneficiary. The Democrat and Republican parties both use sex and race often as tools and most voters are aware they play these types of games. Our current election is no exception, the Democrat party normally takes the black vote for granted and chose not to nominate an African-American, instead Crooked Hillary nominated Tim Kaine. Her intention was to appeal to white male voters due to her lack of appeal in that area.
One of the major differences between now and the election of 1984 is that Ronald Reagan had a demanding lead in the polls. The lead was also consistent, his lead was maintained for twelve straight months. According to current polling, Crooked Hillary is leading in polls and has continued to do so for some time.
What is clear is that Mondale's attempts to woo women voters by nominating someone because of their gender had no effect on the election's outcome. In fact, it may have even been harmful since he lost by such a large margin. One must understand that his defeat was considered a landslide, Reagan won both the popular vote and the electoral college, Mondale won only one state.
Crooked Hillary is also betting voters will choose her due to her gender. Her imminent defeat will only discourage future women candidates from even trying and an unlikely win will encourage sexism, since future political candidates will use their gender as a tool to get votes.
Win or lose, the candidacy of Crooked Hillary is harmful to our country.

The two most important requirements are to remain registered full-time every term, making normal progress toward your degree, and not to accept any employment, either on- or off-campus, without written permission from the ISSO, and, if necessary, authorization from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Be familiar with the information in Maintaining F-1 status. Under certain conditions status may be reinstated if lost for reasons beyond your control. You may also regain status by leaving the U.S.
If you are leaving the U.S. during your program of study, you need an unexpired passport, unexpired F-1 entry visa, and an I-20 which has a travel signature obtained from the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) on page 3 that is less than 12 months old at the time that you return. Please read Travel and Re-entry in F-1 Status for more information.
Remember to have your I-20 on your person and not packed away in checked luggage since you go through inspection before claiming bags. That said, if you forget your I-20, you should ask the immigration official for an I-515 upon entry, which will allow your admission in F-1 status for 30 days. With an F-1 visa you are normally admitted to the U.S. For 'duration of status' (D/S,) but if you are missing the I-20 it is most likely you will be admitted for 30 days with an I-515.

Politics, policy, women's issues.
-- Sat., Aug. 19, East Hampton (NY) Library, 2-3:30 p.m.
"Never for a minute would I advocate that people who no longer love each other should live together because it does not bring the right atmosphere into a home," she wrote.
I wonder where we will find the next generation of political leaders if we have to screen for such a panoply of character flaws. Weiner is smart, rose from humble beginnings, and can talk circles around his opposition. All, so it seems now, gone to waste.
I don't begrudge Ivanka for enjoying her job. I enjoy mine (most of the time). But let's not pretend that the vast majority of women don't have more practical problems.
A: These were all intelligent, accomplished, articulate women. It seemed off to me that they would play this subservient role to rescue their husbands' careers.
For organizations that encourage and train women to run for political office, this has been a very busy four months since Election Day.
Trump's visit cast her as nurturing and selfless, with little risk. No tyke was going to pop up and ask whether she had permission to quote Dr. Seuss.
"If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do matters very much" -- Jackie Kennedy in a 1959 interview with NBC TV
Jacqueline Kennedy was by turns pragmatic and bereft about her husband's seemingly compulsive sex outside of their marriage.
To whom did Huma look for this example? Her mentor Hillary Clinton. "At the end of the day," Abedin has said of the senior woman's advice, "every woman should have the ability and the confidence and the choice to make whatever decisions she wants to make that are right for her and not be judged by it."
Why They Stay is about the lives of politically married women who have stood by their men after sex scandals. It covers Eleanor Roosevelt, Jackie Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, Silda Wall Spitzer, Huma Abedin Weiner and several others. ORDER A COPY BY CLICKING HERE.
Marriage is a mysterious thing and political unions are even more so. In the engrossing and important Why They Stay Anne Michaud peers into the heart of some of the most famously troubled political marriages of the past 100 years in an attempt to understand why accomplished women ranging from Hillary Clinton to Silda Spitzer put up with men many others would have quickly kicked to the curb. Her answers will no doubt influence how we think about these scandals going forward -- not to mention the ones still to come.
--Helaine Olen, author of Pound Foolish
It's a story we've heard often: Prominent politicians suddenly find themselves ensnared in humiliatingly public sex scandals, but their wives decide to stay with them. With a prodigious amount of research and deft storytelling skill, Anne Michaud goes beyond the headlines and explores the stories of both spouses, on both sides of the Atlantic, revealing the pain, the loyalty, and the calculations behind the wives' decisions. Every political couple should read it.
-- Bob Keeler, author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
Anne Michaud breathes life into headlines that I thought I knew so well with fresh details about well-known political spouses like Hillary Clinton, Silda Wall Spitzer and Huma Abedin. Her thorough reporting helps cast them into an entirely new light to show how their personal struggles reflect the internal struggles women have faced for centuries.
-- Christine Haughney, former New York Times staff reporter
I found it really interesting, meticulously researched and well-documented. Why They Stay doesn't revert to sensationalism but really goes to the question of why they stay in the marriage.
-- Stephen F. Medici, author of The Girls in Pleated Skirts

Recent literature suggests that anhedonia reflects a maladaptive interaction between reward circuitry and stress, the former being mediated by the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system and the latter by the glucocorticoid system (Vrieze et al., 2013). The role of the DA system in the development and maintenance of anhedonia has been studied extensively, but little is known about the contribution of the glucocorticoid system to this process. The goal of the current study was to investigate the dopaminergic and glucocorticoid systems as underlying mechanisms of anhedonia using a validated rat test of anhedonia, the probabilistic reward task (PRT). In this task, rats learned to discriminate between two ambiguous tones for a sucrose reward. During testing, one lever was programmed to produce three times more reward than the other lever. Similar to healthy humans, rats develop a response bias toward the more frequently reinforced stimulus, regardless of which tone is presented. Consistent with prior literature, the response bias was enhanced following amphetamine- (AMPH) induced DA activation, and reduced following pramipexole- (PRAMI) induced DA inhibition. Additionally, a 21-day chronic mild stress (CMS) regimen attenuated the response bias in a subpopulation of animals relative to no stress controls. Finally, the glucocorticoid antagonist, mifepristone (MIFE), had no effect on the response bias relative to saline (SAL); however, the glucocorticoid agonist, dexamethasone (DEX), attenuated the response bias relative to both SAL and MIFE. These results confirm a role of DA in reward processing, and highlight an additional contribution of the glucocorticoid system in the mediation of this effect. Thus, it is plausible that chronic stress directly interferes with normal mesolimbic DA functioning, which leads to an overall impairment in reward responsiveness. These findings underscore the importance of treatment directed toward the DA and glucocorticoid systems, rather than the current SSRI treatment. Future studies on the etiology of anhedonia should carefully investigate the interaction of these systems in reward processing. The Impact of Noisy Vestibular Stimulation on Self-motion Phenomena http://hdl.handle.net/1974/15969 The Impact of Noisy Vestibular Stimulation on Self-motion Phenomena Weech, Seamas Low immersion and sickness experienced in virtual reality (VR) are two important barriers that inhibit the widespread adoption of VR technology. Both are thought to relate to visual-vestibular mismatch. Recoupling multisensory cues can generate more convincing illusory self-motion (vection) and reduce sickness, but current methods rely on expensive or invasive techniques to simulate expected cues. According to a Bayesian framework of sensory integration, adding sensory noise may also reduce mismatch by changing sensory weights. This thesis explores this idea and proposes that 'noisy' vestibular stimulation presents an attractive solution to the above problems. I investigated the potential for improving VR experiences using two techniques that generate noise in the vestibular system. Rather than recoupling the senses, I aimed to encourage discounting of vestibular cues that are inconsistent with vision. In Chapter 2 I assessed the potential for improving immersion by measuring the effect of noisy vestibular stimulation (either bone-conducted vibration, BCV; or galvanic vestibular stimulation, GVS) on vection onset latency. I found a large reduction in vection latency when transient BCV or GVS were used at visual motion onset. The evidence suggests that a more compelling sensation of self-motion is achieved when sensory mismatch is reduced. In a second study I examined the extent to which sickness is reduced when BCV is applied during path navigation in a high-end VR display (Chapter 3). Results revealed lower sickness when transient noisy stimulation was applied. In a replication of this experiment I found that BCV reduced sickness to a similar extent when observers used a commercial head-mounted display. The results of Chapter 2 and 3 offer evidence that BCV reduces multisensory mismatch by down-weighting vestibular information according to Bayesian cue combination models. Given this context I also expected BCV to reduce self-motion sensitivity in a real-world movement discrimination task (Chapter 4). The results of a third study did not support my predictions, suggesting that the effects of noisy stimulation on self-motion may be more complex than previously considered. Together the findings give rise to a variety of opportunities for further testing of the technique, which are discussed in Chapter 5. The Role of Self-Concealment and Perfectionistic Self-Presentation in Concealment of Psychache and Suicide Ideation http://hdl.handle.net/1974/15854 The Role of Self-Concealment and Perfectionistic Self-Presentation in Concealment of Psychache and Suicide Ideation D'Agata, Madeleine T. Suicide is a severe societal problem with nearly 1 million people dying by suicide each year worldwide (National Institute of Mental Health, 2009). The goal of the current research was to explore potential risk factors in order to help improve researchers' and mental health professionals' ability to identify high-risk individuals who are more likely to conceal their feelings and thoughts from others. The present research examined the relationship of two personality traits, self-concealment and perfectionistic self- presentation, to two suicide related concepts, psychache and suicide ideation, as well as the role of social support within this context. Results of Study 1 indicated that individuals higher on self-concealment and individuals higher on perfectionistic self-presentation were more likely to report psychache as well as concealment of psychache from others. The goal of Study 2 was to replicate and extend the finding that the two traits are significant predictors of suicide ideation, as well as to examine two potential mediators, concealment of psychache and social support, to explain this relationship. Both traits were significant predictors of suicide ideation and concealment of psychache mediated the relationship of suicide ideation with self-concealment and two subcomponents of the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale. Social support mediated the relationship between one of the subcomponents of the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale and suicide ideation. The goal of Study 3 was to further examine the two personality traits, social support, and concealment of psychache, using an experimental design. More specifically, participants were instructed to either describe situations in which they had social support or describe situations in which they had no social support. Results indicated significant differences between participants assigned to the high compared to the low social support conditions in perceived social support, self-concealment, and each of the subscales of the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale. A series of moderated regressions indicated that at low and moderate, but not high, levels of the perfectionistic self-promotion and nondisclosure of imperfection subscales of the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale, higher levels of social support were associated with lower levels of concealment of psychache. The implications of the current research and possible recommendations are discussed. STRESS DURING EARLY-ADOLESCENCE REDUCES RATS' AGGRESSION AND INCREASES THEIR SEROTONIN FIBRE DENSITY IN ADULTHOOD http://hdl.handle.net/1974/15853 STRESS DURING EARLY-ADOLESCENCE REDUCES RATS' AGGRESSION AND INCREASES THEIR SEROTONIN FIBRE DENSITY IN ADULTHOOD Dhamija, Prateek Stressful experiences during youth can lead to a maladaptive behaviour profile in adulthood, including an increase in anxiety and aggression-related behaviours in humans. Rats exposed to the intermittent physical stress (IPS) paradigm in early-adolescence (PD 22 – 34) have lasting increases in anxiety-related behaviour. Greater anxiety-related behaviours have been shown to be associated with greater aggression-related behaviours. Therefore, I hypothesized that stress during early-adolescence would also lead to increases in aggression. In addition, greater anxiety and aggression have been associated with altered serotonergic function in the prefrontal cortex and ventral hippocampus. However, it is unclear whether a similar mechanism accounts for the enduring impact of stress during adolescence on those responses. In this experiment, I examined if IPS during early-adolescence increased anxiety-related behaviour in the elevated plus-maze and shock-probe burying test, as well as increased aggressive behaviour in the resident intruder test. In addition, I determined if there were changes in serotonin fibre density in the prefrontal cortex and ventral hippocampus. Male Long Evans rats (N = 24) were randomly assigned to either the early-adolescent stress or no-stress control groups. Rats were exposed to IPS stress (involving foot-shock, water immersion and elevated platform exposure) during early-adolescence and tested in the elevated plus-maze, shock-probe burying test and resident intruder test in adulthood. At the end of behavioural testing, brain tissue was examined for serotonin fibre density in the regions of interest using immunohistochemistry. Animals exposed to early-adolescent stress did not display greater levels of anxiety; however, they did display lower levels of aggression and an increase in serotonin fibre density in the prefrontal cortex. These results support that early-adolescence is a period of vulnerability of emotional development and raise the possibility that the impact of stress in adolescence on aggression in later life depends on when the stressors were experienced.

A King takes command of NROTC
Commanding a Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program is exactly how Capt. Kevin King planned to end his career with the U.S. Navy. He took over as the University of Missouri's Naval ROTC commanding officer (CO) in August, following the retirement of Capt. Michael Vizcarra, who served as CO for the last four years.
King was commissioned into the Navy in 1988 when he graduated from Iowa State University's NROTC program. Around that time, NASA's space shuttle program was in its heyday. Two years, later King was designated a Naval flight officer.
"I originally joined the Navy because I wanted to be an astronaut," King said.
His first deployments were aboard the P-3 Orion aircraft — used in maritime patrol — as a navigator and later a tactical coordinator. His crew went on missions to "hunt submarines," a process he likened to a game of chess.
"It's slow and methodical," he said. "But it's also intelligent and very strategic.
"It was still a very exciting time because the Cold War was still going," he said. Later tours provided over-land support for troops. In total, King completed four tours in the P-3. He also has completed a tour of duty aboard the USS John C. Stennis, an aircraft carrier still in service today, and a tour as an operations officer for VP-8, a land-based maritime patrol squadron, in Brunswick, Maine. During that time, he was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Returning stateside in 2006, he was assigned a position as executive officer of the VP-26 squadron and assumed command a year later. He also has served shore and staff duty assignments as a P-3 aviation assignments officer at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, as the head of the Operational Plans Division for the combined Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa/Commander, U.S. 6th Fleet staff in Naples, Italy, and as head of the Plans and Force Management Branch of the OPNAV staff at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va.
His most recent assignment was as the head of Officer Community Management at the Bureau of Naval Personnel in Millington, Tenn. He also earned a Master of Arts in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College in 2009.
A native of Illinois, King applied for NROTC command posts in the Midwest in order to be near family and was selected to assume command of MU's NROTC program last spring. King said he had never been to Columbia, but was looking forward to the fall when he can ride his bike to campus.
"I've been pleasantly surprised with Columbia," he added.

When the final gavel came down at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's annual auction, two Clear Springs High School art students were all smiles. Shayla Bowen sold her monochromatic drawing for $45,000 and Christina Rasmussen sold her painting for $20,000.
An 11th grader, Shayla Bowen's charcoal drawing was titled "Uncle Glee". It was inspired by the student's uncle who lives in Utah. "My uncle owns a 45 acre farm and hunts coyote for a living," explained Bowen. "I thought he looked like an interesting character." The student earned $5,500 from the proceeds with the rest going to fund scholarships.
Christina Rasmussen is a senior at Clear Springs High School. She used oils to create "Last Crumbs". Rasmussen participated in a field trip to a League City Ranch that proved to be her inspiration for the painting. "The longhorn cattle grabbed my attention with their unique colors and markings." Christina Rasmussen earned $2,000 from the auction proceeds.

I love holidays - all of them. In fact, if I could think of a good way to decorate for Ground Hog's Day, I probably would. And, I still decorate for the holidays even though the kids have long since lost their interest in coming home to ghosts hanging around the house--but I've still got witches dangling on a string and mice running amok.
Wreaths are easy to make - just twine some old branches together with some wire and glue on some silk flowers and ornamental fruit, you can buy super cheap at any craft store, then add a ribbon and it's a festive decoration
It's easy to put out some flowers, hang up some masks and add a couple of creepy critters to the tables and stairs and the kids will think it's cool.
I throw some plastic bugs on the tables, some paper mice and put out a lot of orange candles and flowers.
And hang up giant spiders on the porch
Or, if you don't want to have scarey things hanging around just use colored corn and squash with some homemade potpourri.
Here are a few of my tricks for easy inexpensive decorations.
I put some hats out and add some fun fabric to tables and WAH-LAH creepy Halloween House
With paper mice peeking around, and a pumpkin sitting on top of the table - the house can look really bootiful!
How 'bout you? Any decorations hangingaround?

Very cool! We only "decorate" our classroom, and even then, it's mostly just crafts the kids have made over the years. They love it, though. Tomorrow we're making a lifesize mummy out of newspaper and toilet paper. :)

COMMUNITY was beaten a length by Storm Runner over C&D last month and the latter has subsequently won again. Jamie Osborne's mare had Gallantry well behind last time and can return to winning ways in this. Silly Billy wasn't beaten far over 7f here on his latest start but has yet to win over today's distance while though My Scat Daddy finished runner-up here on a couple of occasions in December, he never looked like catching the winner on either occasion.

Hello. My 26 year old niece, Lara, wrote me the following and I would be grateful for any input, advice, recommendations, etc. I will direct her to this thread.
I want to become a life coach. Currently I'm offering health coaching services in order to raise money to pay for the training I want through the Bulletproof Training Institute. I've already been coaching a few people (for free to test out my skills) and am going to ask them to write a comment / review to put on my facebook, blog, and website. I really enjoy the health side of coaching the most, though want to improve myself through learning life coaching skills.
Views: 40
I think she has a great start!
what are a few of the things that set you apart from other coaches? Do you want to focus exclusively on health/fitness? Understand that even if you are doing health and fitness there is a lot of personal life dynamics that are involved as well.
What is the typical range for coaches doing what you do? What are you planning on charging?
This is where I would start if I were coaching you Lara. After these questions are answered you can move onto answering deeper questions.

In the early 70s, two climbers decided to take on a huge granite spire in the Cascade Mountain Range in northern Washington—the Early Winters Spire. That night a storm hit. When morning light broke, tent poles and bits of nylon were scattered everywhere. The storm blew their hasty camp to bits.
While picking up the pieces, the two had a great idea. They knew they could design equipment that could satisfy the needs of climbers and outdoorsmen alike and withstand the type of storm they encountered the night before. They set off to start their own outdoor company, and named it after the place where it all began, Early Winters.
Over the years, this little company made big waves in the outdoor market—amazing tent designs (the "Omnipotent" is a legend in the outdoor industry); fantastic design concepts with the newly invented Gore TEX and we continue to push the market with sustainable product alternatives, organic fabrics and recycled paper in our publications.
Today, we continue to carry this adventurous spirit and love of the outdoors. We don't have to climb granite spires like we did when we were younger, but we love to get outdoors, enjoy the sun and rain, and get the blood flowing. We do it because we love it, not for bragging rights or a cool photograph.
'Sahalie' comes from the Chinook people of the Pacific Northwest, it translates to "a high and lofty place". We envision that place as anywhere that removes you from the "daily grind" and gets you outdoors, breathing fresh air. It's the way we choose to live: casual, adventurous and based in the Pacific Northwest.

* Boris Johnson feted as a future leader of Conservatives
* Mayor Boris faces complex hurdles to the top job
* UK lawmakers say talk of an early challenge is premature
* Poll suggests Boris could help Conservatives win election
By Matt Falloon and Mohammed Abbas
LONDON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - London Mayor Boris Johnson eclipsed British Prime Minister David Cameron as Olympic host this summer, but the eccentric Conservative will have to bide his time before mounting any serious challenge for the top job.
Johnson followed up his Olympic antics -- dangling from a zip line waving the national flag and speeches extolling British success -- with criticism of Cameron's handling of the economy, prompting speculation he was already plotting to replace him.
An opinion poll this week suggested the mayor could revive the flagging popularity of the centre-right Conservatives, who have ruled in uneasy coalition with the left-leaning Liberal Democrats since 2010.
The Conservatives could make up a 13-point lead now held by their Labour opponents if Johnson took over, the YouGov poll for the Sun newspaper showed, reviving talk he may seek, with other dissenters, to oust Cameron before the 2015 parliamentary poll.
Many in the party play that down.
"The whole thing is delightful Westminster gossip, but no more than that," Conservative lawmaker and member of the party's influential 1922 Committee Bernard Jenkin said.
Johnson, a formidable campaigner with a gift for persuading voters of all hues to like him, has no parliamentary seat, so to take over before 2015 he would have to step down as mayor and seize his chance in a bye-election if a seat became vacant.
"In the future, anything is possible but there is not going to be regicide on David Cameron," Jenkin said. "The idea that somehow Boris is going to get into parliament, destabilise the leadership, is just absolutely for the birds."
Johnson, 48, has dismissed as "complete cloud cuckoo land" speculation that he might seek election to parliament during his mayoral term, which finishes in 2016, and said, with his trademark informality, that he would be "clapped out" by then.
But Cameron has come under fire from his party for failing to take a tough enough line on the European Union and steering Britain back into recession while missing a string of his own austerity targets.
The prime minister and finance minister George Osborne have staked their political careers and the party's re-election chances on a return to economic growth before 2015 - both faced the humiliation of being jeered at the Paralympic Games.
By contrast, Johnson's star has kept on rising.
Although a product of the same elite Eton College private school and Oxford University as Cameron, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson has little obvious in common with him.
Where the prime minister is sharply dressed and slick, on message and politically pragmatic, Johnson twins his scatty manner and wild puff of blond hair with acrobatic use of language and comic turns that give him wide appeal.
Appearances on popular television shows have cemented his position as one of the few celebrities in British politics and the Olympics gave him a global stage.
His chauvinistic speeches -- he said Britain had won enough medals to bail out Spain and Greece -- appealed to voters at home, who view him as a blast of fresh air, even if few could tell you exactly what his politics are.
But any leadership fight could further damage the reputation of the party among voters struggling with spending cuts and recession and grandees say as many people would oppose someone like Johnson as would rally round him.
It would also cast its coalition with the Liberal Democrats into the unknown.
"He's a fantastic asset to the party," said Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi. "My advice to him would be stay focused on the job (as mayor), deliver for London and the party."
Once in parliament, Johnson would either have to wait for Cameron to resign or engineer a "no confidence" vote by the party, which would require the backing of 15 percent of Conservative lawmakers just to get off the ground.
The party may have internal problems but it was in utter disarray the last time an incumbent Conservative prime minister was ousted from within in 1990.
"Margaret Thatcher's circumstances were so exceptional," Jenkin said, pointing out that she had been in power for 11 years and had angered may in the party by her refusal to agree a timetable for Britain to join the European single currency.
Cameron's situation was different, he said. "The ingredients to a removal of a leader are just not there."
Many Conservatives like Johnson because he speaks his mind freely and goes for broke. Cameron, as leader, has to keep a potentially divisive party together in tough times, a role Johnson may not find so easy.
"It's one thing to make great speeches at the Olympics, to make a virtue of bumbling through them and making the odd gaffe. But when you are in parliament you cannot afford to make those kinds of mistakes - you have to follow a brief," said Tim Bale, author of "The Conservative Party: From Thatcher to Cameron" and a professor at Queen Mary, part of the University of London.
"If he can do that, all good, but that would also lead to Boris not being Boris, and he could lose his appeal."
A journalist before spending seven years as a member of parliament, Johnson has thrived as mayor, free from the shackles of party discipline to pursue eye-catching policies.
His "Boris bikes" bicycle hire scheme proved a winner, and he won support among Londoners across the political spectrum for his opposition to the expansion of Heathrow airport.
While his free market views appeal to core Conservatives, his more liberal attitude to immigration - crucial to his popularity as London mayor - might not, and to come out on top in any leadership fight, Johnson would need to bridge divides.
"He would need to build coalitions within the party," Bale said. "Not only the clown, but also the statesman."

Chocolate Truffle Cake With Strawberry Sauce
Recipe by internetnut
I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from Family Time Daily Dish.
Top Review by BB2011
I made this for a small restaurant where I work. I didn't make the strawberry sauce, and we didn't have butterscotch chips so I substituted more chocolate chips for the glaze. We sold it as "Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte" because it came out quite flat, but it was great! The cake smelled like a brownie and the chocolate/PB topping was divine. It needs plenty of time to set up in the refrigerator.
