Adolescent Psychopathy in an Adjudicated Male Population: The Role of Sensation Seeking, Impulsivity, and Externalizing Disorders
Date: August 2002
Creator: Vitacco, Michael J.
Description: Psychopathy, as conceptualized by Cleckley (1941), describes a constellation of psychological and behavioral correlates including superficial charm, untruthfulness, lack of remorse or shame, poor judgment, and failure to learn from experience. Based on Cleckley's initial work, Hare (1991) developed a two-factor model of psychopathy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the roles that sensation seeking, impulsivity, ADHD, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder have on adolescents classified as psychopaths. The participants consisted of 79 adjudicated male adolescents in a maximum-security facility. As hypothesized, adolescent male psychopaths had higher levels of sensation seeking, impulsivity, conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder. A discriminant function analysis found that sensation seeking, impulsivity, ADHD, Conduct Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder was moderately useful in classifying adolescent psychopathy. The results suggest that behavioral dysregulation is an important aspect of adolescent psychopathy. The relationship of these data to theories of adolescent psychopathy is discussed.

Adolescent self-mutilating behaviors: Experiential avoidance coupled with imitation?
Date: August 2008
Creator: Howe-Martin, Laura S.
Description: Repetitive self-mutilation (RSM) has become increasingly prevalent among adolescents. Empirical research has pinpointed several correlates of this behavior, but the initiation and maintenance of RSM among adolescents are not well understood. The experiential avoidance model (EAM) proposes that self-mutilation is a behavior that allows for the avoidance or alteration of unwanted internal experiences, and that it is negatively reinforced with repetition. The current study explored the usefulness of the EAM as an explanatory theory for adolescent RSM, with the additional incorporation of issues of social context. Adolescents (N = 211) from three school-based samples completed self-report questionnaires. One-third of students reported at least one incident of purposeful, non-suicidal self-mutilation and 16% had engaged in self-mutilation repeatedly within the past 6 months. Both regression and group analyses indicated that adolescents who engage in RSM report greater psychological distress, a greater incidence of functionally equivalent behaviors, and greater exposure to self-mutilation among peers and/or in the media, when compared to their counterparts who have not engaged in RSM. Suicidal ideation/behaviors were consistently the strongest predictors of current self-mutilation behaviors. Clinical implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Adult attachment and posttraumatic growth in sexual assault survivors.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Gwynn, Stacy Roddy
Description: Posttraumatic growth, defined as positive psychological changes in the aftermath of adversity and suffering, is a relatively recent focus in psychological research. The addition of this concept to the literature has provided a new, more resiliency-based framework through which to view survivors of various forms of trauma. Despite estimates that over half of all sexual assaults are not reported to the authorities, current crime statistics indicate that 1 in 4 women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime (Campbell & Wasco, 2005). Given the large percentage of the population that is impacted by sexual assault, it is essential that professionals better understand the factors that influence the successful healing and growth that can occur post-trauma. The purpose of this study was to further expand the literature on posttraumatic growth in sexual assault survivors by considering this phenomenon through the lens of attachment theory. Specifically, this study tested a proposed model of the inter-relationships among subjective and objective perceptions of threat during the sexual assault, adult romantic attachment, and posttraumatic growth. It was hypothesized that adult romantic attachment and parent-child attachment would mediate the relationship between subjective, or perceived threat, defined as the victim's perception of life threat, and objective threat, defined ...

Adult Attachment Patterns, Mental Representation of Self, and Faith: Mediators of Childhood Trauma and Affect-Behavior Regulations in Adulthood
Date: December 2010
Creator: Han, GiBaeg
Description: The purpose of this study was to investigate psychological mechanism by which four intra- and inter-personal characteristics of an individual (anxious and avoidant adult attachment patterns, images of self, and religious faith) mediate the relationship between childhood trauma and each of three affect-behavior regulation problems in adulthood (symptoms of depression, disordered eating behaviors, and substance abuse). A total of 401 college student participants completed a packet of 18 surveys including 10 surveys used in the present study. Structural equation modeling was used to test each of three hypothesized structural models (Depression, Eating Disturbances, and Substance Abuse). A series of multi-group analyses conducted to test if each of three hypothesized models is invariant across gender indicated no significant difference between females and males. Thus, the data were combined across gender to test for mediated effects in each of three hypothesized models. The results indicated: (a) for the hypothesized model for depression, anxious attachment patterns, avoidant attachment patterns, and negative self-images, but not religious faith, fully mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and symptoms of depression; (b) for the model for eating disturbances, anxious attachment and negative images of self, but not avoidant attachment and religious faith, fully mediated the association between ...

Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Personality Characteristics and Comorbidity
Date: August 1998
Creator: Austin, Karla Michele
Description: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is surrounded by confusion and controversy regarding its definition, course, etiology and treatment. Among adults, ADHD is rarely considered a diagnostic reality of primary importance and is often overlooked. This study provides descriptive validity for adult ADHD in distinguishing it from controls, and identifying both a pure condition and one wrought with comorbidity.

Affective and cognitive components of job satisfaction: Scale development and initial validiation.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Tekell, Jeremy Kyle
Description: Job satisfaction is one of the most commonly studied variables in the organizational literature. It is related to a multitude of employee-relevant variables including but not limited to performance, organizational commitment, and intent to quit. This study examined two new instruments measuring the components of affect and cognition as they relate to job satisfaction. It further proposed including an evaluative (or true attitudinal) component to improve the prediction of job satisfaction. Results provide some evidence of both two and three factor structures of affect and cognition. This study found minimal support for the inclusion of evaluation in the measurement of job satisfaction. Affect was found to be the single best predictor of job satisfaction, regardless of the satisfaction measure used. Further development is needed to define the factor structures of affect and cognition as well as the role of these factors and evaluation in the prediction of job satisfaction.

Affective Forecasting: the Effects of Immune Neglect and Surrogation
Date: August 2012
Creator: Burkman, Summer Dae
Description: Studies of affective forecasting examine people's ability to predict (forecast) their emotional (affective) responses to future events. Affective forecasts underlie nearly all decisions people make and the actions they take. However, people engage in systematic cognitive errors when making affective forecasts and most often overestimate the intensity and duration of their emotional responses. Understanding the mechanisms that lead to affective forecasting errors (e.g., immune neglect) and examining the utility of methods for improving affective forecasting errors (e.g., surrogation) can provide highly valuable information for clinicians as they assist clients in determining their goals both for therapy and for life. The first purpose of the current study was to determine if affective forecasting errors due to immune neglect lead to misjudgments about the relative emotional impact of minor versus moderate negative experiences (i.e., trauma severity). The second purpose was to examine the utility of surrogation for improving affective forecasts. Potential interaction effects between these two variables were also examined. The current study utilized a 2 (Trauma Severity: minor, moderate) X 3 (Prediction Information: surrogation information only, simulation information only, both types of information) experimental design. Undergraduates were recruited via the SONA system and randomly assigned to one of the six experimental ...

Affective Reactions and Psychosocial Functioning in the Course of Psycho-Educational Assessment
Date: August 1999
Creator: Buenrostro, Martha
Description: Every day, children throughout the United States are given psychological evaluations for many different clinical and psycho-educational purposes. Very little research has attempted to investigate children's responses to the experience of having intellectual and achievement tests administered. The goal of the current research was to explore the effect a psycho-educational evaluation has on children in areas of self-concept and anxiety. Dependent variables consisted of pre- and post-test measures of anxiety and self-concept. A total of 75 children in the 4th 5th and 6th grades were recruited after referral for evaluation and possible placement in the Talented and Gifted Program or Special Education. This study employed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), t-tests, multiple regression analysis, and correlational analysis. Findings included initial evidence that children endorsed decreased anxiety after psycho-educational assessments rather than increased anxiety, suggesting that fear of unknown situations may be more anxiety provoking than the actual situation itself, potentially beneficial findings for psychology and psychometric professionals who evaluate children daily. Students endorsement of academic self-concept significantly predicted anxiety after a psycho-educational evaluation, indicating that students who feel capable in academic areas may endorse less anxiety after an evaluation than students who do not feel academically capable. Finally, negative verbal interaction ...

Age and Responses to the Events of September 11, 2001
Date: December 2004
Creator: Holmes, D. Nicole
Description: Following the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, many turned to the field of psychology for greater understanding of the impact of such events and guidance in supporting our citizens. This study sought to gain greater understanding of the differential impact of the September 11th attack on individuals by investigating the influence of age, psychological hardiness, and repression versus sensitization as forms of coping behavior on psychological health. Both an initial cross-sectional sample (172 young adults & 231older adults) and a short-term longitudinal follow-up (39 young adults & 58 older adults) were included in the study. Older age, psychological hardiness and the use of a repressing coping style were found to each individually relate to greater resilience/less dysfunction at both time one and two. For young adults, high hardy repressors faired best, followed by high hardy sensitizers. Low hardy young adults demonstrated similar levels of dysfunction regardless of coping style (repressions/sensitization). For older adults, coping style impacted both high and low hardy individuals equally, with high hardy repressors demonstrating greater functioning. This study attempted to gain greater insight into explanations for these and previous findings of greater resilience among older adults. In explaining the greater resilience ...

Agreement between self and other ratings in multi-rater tools: Performance, alternative measures, and importance.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Grahek, Myranda
Description: Multi-rater tools also referred to as 360-degree feedback tools, are frequently used in addition to traditional supervisory appraisals due to sources (i.e., supervisor, peer, direct report) unique perspectives and opportunities to view different aspects of job performance. Research has found that the differences among sources are most prevalent between self and other ratings, and the direction of agreement is related to overall job performance. Research has typically focused on one form of agreement, the direction of an individual's self-ratings compared to others' ratings. The current study expanded on past research on rater agreement using a data set (n = 215) consisting of multi-rater data for professionals participating in a leadership development process. The study examined the ability to predict job performance with three different measures of self-other agreement (i.e., difference between overall mean scores (difference), mean absolute difference across items (difference), and mean correlation across items (similarity)). The study also examined how the relationships may differ across performance dimensions. The final purpose was to explore how the importance of the performance dimensions, as rated by the participant, may moderate the relationship between self-other agreement and job performance. Partial support for study's hypotheses was found. The direction and difference measures of ...

TEAMS: Houston Texans
JJ Watt may not win NFL MVP, but the Houston Texans defensive end is definitely one of more valuable individuals playing in the NFL this season. Watt tweeted this photo earlier on Friday in what appears to be children from Newton, CT. Days after the tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook elementary, Watt wore gloves with the town's name on them.
Usually, when Watt is in this position, he is ready to bring terror on opposing QBs. These kids couldn't be more excited to be lined up across from him.

Last week, I posted Part 1 of my book review of Steven Wood's Digital Body Language book. It covered how the landscape of B2B, complex sales, and marketing has changed because of rapid developments in the Online world, and what the Digital Body Language (DBL) concept is.
In this post, I'll wrap up by covering some of the benefits you can get if you learn to observe and leverage DBL, as well as some of the author's ideas about the future of sales and marketing as marketers start to adopt the DBL approaches.
If you understand DBL, and can leverage the data points it provides, you'll be in a much better position to effectively nurture early and middle stage leads. This is crucial since the majority of leads in your database are probably in these two stages. We at FutureNow spend lot of time working with clients to optimize their sites for early and middle stage buyers, so this was great to read. We also encourage B2B marketers to design marketing efforts intended to "graduate" their prospects from one stage of their buying process to the next.
In addition to more effective lead nurturing, DBL allows for much more accurate lead scoring, which is of huge value to an organization. Most B2B sales and marketing teams seem to only have 2 lead scores: "hot" and "disqualified." The lead is either worth calling on the phone, or they're thrown away. This obviously can lead to frustration on both sides of the Sales/Marketing fence. By tracking and monitoring DBL, you have a lot more data to use in scoring leads so Sales knows which ones are "hot," and which ones simply aren't ready to buy and can be nurtured.
Woods uses example lead categories of:
1.   Inquiries – usually some contact information captured online
2.   Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) – Marketing has vetted as qualified for Sales
3.   Sales Accepted Leads (SALs) – Sales agrees to follow up with the leads
4.   Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) – Sales agrees the leads are qualified to be sold to
5.   and Deals – closed business
The above categories can set an organization up for a very disciplined, data-driven approach to their prospect pipeline.
DBL is also a tool that helps teams get away from the usually-broken "lead source" model. Woods eloquently argues against the traditional model on page 185:
…the prospective buyer is not suddenly "driven" to make a purchase because of a well-crafted marketing campaign or elegantly worded collateral documents. Rather, a purchase is the culmination of a well-choreographed series of messaging, campaigns, and collateral that–over time–collectively guide the prospective buyer through education and discovery processes that are driven by their own internal interests and business goals.
Best of all, DBL allows for a new, improved way of measuring marketing performance. We all know that measuring marketing effectiveness at driving revenue (as opposed to just leads) is challenging, even with all the fancy data we have at our fingertips these days. This, I think, contributes to the fact that CMOs have some of the shortest tenures in all of the corporate world.
DBL can be used to understand, track, and prove "the conversion of prospects from one phase of their buying process to the next." If a nurture marketer's goal is simply to find prospects and convert them over time through a succession of buying stages, it becomes much easier to plan campaigns, segment the data, and make wise marketing investments.
Given that I'm an analyst, one of my favorite parts of the book was Chapter 10 where the author starts to talk about a new breed of "Analytical Marketer:"
Marketers are beginning to capture, store, and process unprecedented volumes of data and will need people with management capabilities and skills to model, prototype, and design processes.
Woods goes on to argue that organizations must change to meet the demands of DBL: executives must understand why DBL is a worthy investment, skill sets have to evolve or be brought in, data cleansing must be a priority for IT and analysts, and marketing organizations have to become more process-driven instead of relying heavily on "creativity for creativity's sake."
In the end, though, the author ties it all back to that core concept of realigning to the buyer's buying process–using DBL to understand their needs, and providing the marketing that will help them move themselves through the buying stages at their own pace. And, being there top-of-mind when they decide they're ready to raise their hands and ask to be sold to.
Finally, those of you in Early Stage who perhaps aren't persuaded to buy the book could visit the Digital Body Language blog to learn more. I'm sure Steven would be happy to nurture you for as long as you need

I think its important to have this type of discipline in your sales and marketing process. Comparing ratios helps you improve.
This blog is getting spammed to death. I don't think any of the comments so far (except mine ) are sincere contributions.
They are all boilerplate text added by script-kiddies.
Please do something to fix this or your blog will be dead in weeks.
I notice that many of the real commentators (like audio-bible) seem to have left. I'll be going soon…
very nice…thanks.
I think this is really great, I noticed the comments are all very professional here? I certainly fully support these blogs.
Thanks for this two parter, very informative
Along with the concept of creating personas (customer types and their intentions) to add to internet marketing strategies, this looks a valuable addition to my SEO reading list. Thanks for an informative review.
While I understand the concept, actually putting in use sounds difficult. I may take your advice and read the Digital Body Language blog…as I am not yet convinced.
Salespeople sure love their acronyms. I imagine that they are very useful tools, though, for communicating information within a team.

Although the donuts were good, the coffee was truly delicious! Worth the stop if you're tired of motel coffee.
Donut palace is a microscopic blip on the large footprint of Fort Oglethorpe, but it's one that's worth finding. You'll find fresh baked unbelievably good-tasting donuts there every single time, and they really are bargain priced too, it's amazing they can stay in business. They have a drive-thru window too. A good place for a snack if you are in...
Their donuts are always fresh taste so wonderful. I recommend the apple fritter, and any of their iced donuts.
Clean place! gotta try the chocolate covered with nuts!! Umm
My favorite thing to get is the doughnut holes. They melt in your mouth. The apple fritters and tastas well. They have many other kinds of doughnuts. I think they are better than the stale Dunkin Doughnuts down the road any day of the week.
If you own or manage Donut Palace, register now for free tools to enhance your listing, attract new reviews, and respond to reviewers.

Get to know the ropes of Apple's brand new mobile operating system
New app can help identify suspects
Riots erupted in north London after 29-year-old Mark Duggan was shot dead by police
Police are hoping a new app for smartphones will help them track down thousands of people involved in last summer's riots.
Facewatch lets phone users sort through around 5,000 photographs by entering a London postcode to focus on a particular area.
People can then confidentially identify someone in an image by clicking on the picture, then entering a name and address.
Scotland Yard has loaded 2,880 images taken from CCTV footage during the disorder on the capital's streets last year, and a further 2,000 pictures of people they want to talk to about low level crimes such as shoplifting or anti-social behaviour, separate from the riots.
Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, head of specialist crime & operations, said: "This is a great opportunity for the public to help us fight crime and bring those who remain outstanding to justice.
"My hope is that the two-thirds of Londoners who own smartphones will download this app and help us identify people we still need to speak to.
"We need Londoners to browse through the app every week or so as new images will appear regularly. This is a fantastic way for Londoners to help us to fight crime."
Simon Gordon, director of Facewatch, came up with the idea when he was trying to help victims of bag theft at his central London bar.
He said: "We are extremely pleased to be the technology partner behind the Facewatch application and, by working closely with the Metropolitan Police Service team, to help in a small way towards creating a safer and more secure city - especially in such an important year for London."

The Cantabria region lies on the Atlantic Coast of Northern Spain, located between the Basque Country and Asturias. The whole area is one of natural beauty, with short, gushing rivers cutting through the wild, unspoilt countryside, carving their way past stunning sandy beaches on their way onto the Atlantic. Any Cantabria guide will split the area into two distinct regions, the Cantabria coast and the inland Cantabria Mountain range. Largely overlooked by the tourist crowds, the Cantabria region really is a hidden gem.
Cantabria accommodation was the pick of the Spanish Royal Family for much of the early 20th century, and it is remarkably easy to see why. The countryside is simply spectacular, with the Picos de Europa (Peaks of Europe) offering some of Spain's best walking, hiking, mountain biking and horse riding holidays. Anyone who loves nature will be right at home in a Cantabria villa or cottage. The Picos de Europa National Park is one of the very last places you can see wild wolves, eagles and bears in Spain. The forested mountains, dramatic gorges and salmon filled rivers create the perfect habitat for many creatures, and those taking a holiday property in Cantabria are perfectly located for some of the finest outdoor activity terrain in Spain. The Cabarceno Nature Reserve is well worth visiting from any Cantabria property too, as it is home to 500 semi-wild species, including elephants, lions and kangaroos.
The Cantabria region of Spain is also loaded with historical monuments of huge importance in Spain's development. There are many vast caves in Cantabria, often adorned with cave paintings which date back up to 15,000 years. The oldest paintings can be seen in the huge Altamira Caves, and the Sanctuary of St Toribio, located near Spain's deepest caves, is the reputed location of a large part of the crucifix Jesus died upon. Beautifully preserved medieval villages, ancient dolomites and regal architecture are just some of the magnificent sights you can find from a Cantabria villa.
All along the Cantabria coast you will discover wonderful little cove beaches, secluded by deep valleys and thick forests. Not only is the sand soft and golden in colour, but the scenery of these beaches is simply breathtaking. If you are hoping to conquer the Atlantic swells on a surfboard, a Cantabria villa is the ideal choice.
The capital of the Cantabria region is Santander, where the majority of British tourists arrive if travelling by ferry. There are numerous museums and interesting historical monuments which make Santander worth visiting from any accommodation in Cantabria. Villas of regal design, summer Palaces and the Grand Casino of El Sardinero all help give Santander its exclusive, elegant atmosphere. The El Sardinero beach is one of the most fashionable beaches on which to be seen, although there are many more secluded beaches to be found from a Cantabria villa in Santander.
Temperatures can reach up to 40°C during the heat of the summer, making Cantabria villas with pools a huge luxury. During July and August, most visitors to Cantabria accommodation come for the remarkable beaches, with cultural, natural and sporting holidays usually occurring in the spring and autumn months when temperatures are around 30°C, and rain is still uncommon. However, due to the undulating terrain, weather conditions can be unpredictable, so packing a jacket for your stay in a Cantabria cottage is advised.
Due to the weekly flights to Santander Airport (SDR) from Liverpool and London, reaching a holiday apartment, cottage or villa in Cantabria could not be easier. RyanAir provide cheap flights to Santander Airport, which acts as the central transport hub for the whole of the Cantabria region. Ferry services also arrive into Santander.

Stuart White is a freelance writer living in the Pacific Northwest. His collaborative humor blog can be found at Wheel of Why.
Much like quoting Entourage and wearing tank tops that reveal deltoids comically malformed by creatine, playing fantasy sports is an aspect of "dude" culture I'll never fully understand. I just find the whole concept misleading. When I hear those two words together, I imagine Tom Brady dying on the field from weeping-induced dehydration after his team is destroyed in the Super Bowl by Chip Kelly's unstoppable offense helmed by Kate Upton and Topanga Lawrence.
Evidently/sadly, that is not what fantasy sports are about. Instead, it is just nerdy math combined with foolish gambling, all designed to transform you into Benedict Arnold. Thanks, but no thanks: I prefer my fantasies as defined by Ludacris and Shawnna.
On the surface, fantasy sports appear analogous to sports video games with terrible graphics; you play the roles of imaginary coach, general manager, and vice president without any discernible qualifications. What they don't tell you when you join a fantasy league, however, is that you're voluntarily committing yourself to five months of math.
As someone who hasn't done math in six years, besides calculating how much I should under-tip my waiter for forgetting I explicitly ordered no olives, the amount of equations and calculations involved create quite the turn-off.
Listen, if I wanted to stare at numbers all day, I'd become an electrical engineer and make enough money to buy my own real team (I'd put a football franchise in the beer-haven of Bend, Oregon, because it is utter crap this section of the country is only represented by the Seattle Seahawks). Math isn't lame, but willingly doing it outside of a scholastic or an employment context seems a tad masochistic, something enjoyed by people who like gardening or reading Finnegans Wake for fun.
Considering all the numerical components of fantasy sports, it is easy to understand how wagering money on your fantasy teams seems justifiable. Much to the disappointment of Lonnie Donegan, however, bein' a gamblin' man, especially one who bets on events beyond his immediate control, isn't exactly the soundest monetary decision. This isn't to say a friendly wager can't be fun. Want to throw down twenty dollars on a round of Mario Kart 64? Sure, I'm game for that (unless you want to play Special Cup, because that series is a hell-spawned quartet of misery). See, I can control my performance at Mario Kart 64, whereas the same can't be said for Thabo Sefolosha's statistical achievements. If you want to bet your hard-earned, trickle-down-economics-produced cash, you should gamble it on a skill you possess, not on if Joakim Noah or Anderson Varejao will lead the NBA in rebounds/hairdo monstrosities.
Potential financial ramifications and calculation cramps aside (hey, those TI-89 buttons can be really hard to press), the least desirable aspect of fantasy sports is how you will inevitably become a turncoat. Disloyalty isn't very becoming and sports-fan disloyalty is especially deplorable. While you don't have to bleed and die for your favorite team (though minor blood sacrifices can't hurt), rooting for a rival because of your fantasy squad roster is inexcusable and disgusting.
As a Trail Blazers fan, I would never "draft" Kobe Bryant, no matter how many points he scores nor how many pints of jersey-sweat he slurps. One of the greatest joys of following sports is irrationally loathing opponents; fantasy leagues aim to eliminate the concept of team boundaries and to produced an egalitarian, let's-all-cheer-for-everyone system that reeks of hippies and European social democracy. I don't want to live in a country where both blind allegiance and illogical antipathy are no longer celebrated as core principles. My great-great-grandfather did not sacrifice his life to pass military secrets to the British just so I could root for sports with a willy-nilly abandonment of ethics.
There are, of course, likely many arguments in favor of fantasy sports. Really, you should pick your own pleasures in life; guiding your preferences and proclivities based by the words of an online columnist isn't the wisest of decisions. If you choose to focus your energy on fantasy sports, though, I shan't be joining you. Sorry, but I tend to avoid such frivolous pursuits. Now if you'll excuse me, I must return to my Dungeon Master responsibilities; there is a renegade centaur uprising in the H'rothmor Valley that requires quelling.

Claiming his second win of the series at round six of the US EnduroCross championship in Boise, Idaho, Taddy Blazusiak has closed the points gap on championship leader Mike Brown and is now tied at the head of the standings heading into the Las Vegas final on November 23rd.
Here are Taddy's thoughts on what was arguably one of his most important ever EnduroCross results…
Redbull.com: A winning result when you needed it most, how did round six go?
Taddy Blazusiak: It was a really good night. The start was a little slick, which seemed to be good for a 250f and I was able to get into the first turn with Mike [Brown] from a fourth gate pick. I took no risks on the hot lap, so I was pleased with fourth. In the final, I got around Mike during the first lap but was riding a little tense. I locked my front wheel and Cody Webb moved ahead of me. I got things together then, moved back into the lead, and got the win.
RB: There's still one round to go but winning round six must have been one of your all time most important results?
TB: Definitely. If I had finished off the podium it would have made things very, very difficult at the final in Vegas. Not impossible because anything can happen, but things would have been stacked against me. I knew I needed to make this result count and I'm pleased that I got the win.
RB: You seem to have had an up-and-down EnduroCross season compared to others. Is there any specific reason for that?
TB: It's hard to say. I was late starting my pre-season training because of shoulder surgery. Then I was working on strengthening my shoulder, which isn't what you want for racing. So I wasn't as fast as I wanted to be early in the season. Then I spent some time competing on a rally bike, which wasn't good for my Endurocross speed. When things are going well you don't think about it too much. But when you're not exactly where you want to be you realise that there are so many details that all need to fall into place. I feel like those pieces are only just coming together again. I'm back on track.
RB: It's all down to the Vegas final for the championship now between yourself and Mike Brown. Surely that's going to be one hell of a high-pressure event?
TB: The way I see it is that it'll be like an X Games event – a one-off, but whoever does best gets the EnduroCross championship. I feel like I know how to ride under pressure so I'll do all I can to win. The start will be massively important. What'll be interesting is that no matter where Mike and I finish, that will decide the championship.
RB: Before the Endurocross final you have the FIM SuperEnduro opener in Liverpool, England. Does that complicate your EnduroCross preparations?
TB: No, not really. It's a bit of a crazy situation having one championship starting before another has ended, but it's like that. The bike I'll race in SuperEnduro will be a lot different to my EnduroCross bike, but I'm really looking forward to the race. There are a lot of fast riders competing in SuperEnduro so it's going to be seriously competitive. But I also have a championship in the States to try and win, so I have to remember that.
The final round of the AMA EnduroCross series takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 23rd.
The opening round of the FIM SuperEnduro championship is in Liverpool, England on November 17th.

What's new? ContactEngine™ is now our brand name, as well as the name of our core technology. What's the same? The ipadio team are all still here to help you with your comms, and of course ContactEngine™ remains the best multi-channel customer contact engine on the planet!
Anglian Water use ContactEngine™ to ensure that their vast number of employees are kept informed of company messages and news, no matter where they are or what connectivity they have.
Thames Water use ipadio to reach their hard to reach employees and make sure that everyone in their company stays connected.
In 2010 HomeServe changed the way we talk to our people. We created a new internal voice and with the help of ContactEngine™ started to create a sense of community that linked to our service proposition as a place to turn to for home emergencies and repairs.
In an industry where two-way communication has traditionally been a challenge, London Midland has pioneered "talkback" to engage employees. Harnessing ipadio's FieldTalk and it's social media links, talkback lets London Midland's employees (wherever they are) give their views on the issues that matter to them most.
Human rights charity Amnesty International have used ipadio throughout their organisation. From campaigning to fundraising and reporting from the field, Amnesty were quick to recognise the simplicity and effectiveness of ipadio and phonecasting.
Sure - everyone sends messages - but just because someone can write that don't make them Shakespeare. ContactEngine presents a revolution in appointment verification - rather than just telling, we have a intelligent conversation. Take the ContactEngine pilot challenge and you'll never look back.
The problem with surveys is that they don't give much back to the customer. However, combine a VoC survey with a operational service ("is everything working") and you'll get response rates above 60%, plus you can do on-the-day quick recovery of any service problems for even high customer satisfaction.
Winner of the e-consultancy Innovation Award, ContactEngine mobile video apps are like a corporate YouTube, allowing clients to capture and post videos into their own sites. Clients include The FA, Asda and London 2012, who rely on the bandwidth management and corporate security.
ContactEngine is the best multi-channel and interactive customer contact engine on the planet. ContactEngine powers conversations with your customers, staff or stakeholders via the technology they prefer - be that app, txt, phonecall, email, and no matter whether it be video, audio, graphical or textual.
Like text messaging, only much better - because it's not just two-way but actually conversational - gathering information from customers, and driving real-time corporate activity based on their responses. iTxt continues to be one of the most successful ways of interacting with your customers.
iVoice is a revolution IVR. iVoice knows who the customer is and what their needs are - no more annoying menus. iVoice has intellegent conversations with many thousands of customers simultaneously. Instead of call-centres staff working like machines, we've taught our machine to think like a human.
ContactEngine is secure, cloud hosted Software as a Service. ContactEngine is scalable, robust, fully redundant, and completely reliable. ContactEngine has had greater than 99.99% uptime over the past 5 years. in 2014 ContactEngine will complete ISO 27001 data security certification.
"Like a corporate YouTube, giving brands the ability to capture user video and audio directly from their own sites. ContactEngine will help companies quickly grow their repositories of video-based user-generated content. Ideal for product reviews, customer feedback or competitions."
"The ContactEngine victory demonstrates that the business has strong innovation/disruptive capacity in the market and that the investment has significantly supported the growth potential and competitiveness of the company."
The first ContactEngine award for our pioneering work in audio - the Judges said, "a really simple but well executed idea that gives anyone who can use a phone the chance to speak out on the internet … a technology for the masses with many potential uses."
Teachers are able to get students to take part in speaking activities outside of the classroom. ContactEngine is used to record students' phone blogs. This helps students improve their speaking in much the same way that a blog can be used to help students improve their writing.
ContactEngine is the best multi-channel, interactive contact engine. Our cloud hosted Software as a Service helps our blue-chip clients improve efficiency, and drive growth through happier customers.

How do I comprehend the lines after dashes?
For example:
The ice shelf cores were long enough to penetrate through glacial ice—which is formed from the compaction of snow and contains air bubbles—and to continue into the clear, bubble-free ice formed from seawater that freezes onto the bottom of the glacial ice.
After the first dash, it can be understood that the author is referring to glacial ice (as "which" stands for glacial ice). What about the sentence following the second dash?

Surprising (for California) simple and understated label for Clos du Val wines.
think its a lie.. the website has a video… this is just another reason not to order this…there gonna be a new epidemic of driving while starbucksed…. you shouldn't drive while caffeine high, the shakes can fuck with your steering and the jitters can mess up your perception
We like the bold, retro cigarette-packet style of these labels for Hey Mambo wine, but what the heck is 'bistro-style wine'? (We added the hyphen ourselves, though 'bistro style-wine' has a nice ring to it. I mean, Grogger is pretty much all about style-wine. Anyway, back to the snidey joke…) Perhaps it tastes like reheated andouillette and can only be drunk under the condescending gaze of the French.
To all our Jewish readers, happy Purim, and may all your groggers be noisy! The Grogger team is proud to be associated with the one Jewish festival that actually demands that you drink wine and get smashed. L'Chaim!
Nicholas Feltron, the designer know for producing in-depth annual reports and infographics about his own life, has turned his hand to designing 'quantitative wine labels' for an Australian biodynamic wine, Between Five Bells.
There's a whole lot of detailed info about maceration, temperature and 'baume', but the end result is a thing of beauty.
(If you like stylish infographics, check out David McCandless' Information is Beautiful website and book.)
Spotter's badge goes to Steven.
This Monday we have spotted two more different labels with typos. Not just little ones, but the name of the goddam grapes! Remember, God is in the details, so however pretty your mock-ups may be, God hates you.
(In case you didn't spot them them, they are Pino(t) Noir and Caberne(t) Sa(u)vignon.)
UPDATE: This post was reblogged by year22blog, who commented:
How about god hates you! People make mistakes. Don't be such a piece of shit.
Ouch. Perhaps 'hate' was too strong a word for us to use. They're both great label designs, with unfortunate typos. Perhaps it's better to say He might be a little disappointed. (What God really hates, year22, is not using a capital letter for His name.)
Sometimes putting a bottle of wine in your rucksack, satchel or pram just isn't cool. Fortunately Maptote have come to the rescue with their single- and double-bottle tote bags of renowned wine regions. And, er, Manhattan.
Absolutely charming hand-lettered label design for 'Ce'est la Vie' wines. First seen on the Tumblr of Lush Lady, an excellent blog from a lady seemingly determined to drink herself across the United States without sampling the same beverage twice.
Grogger has a blog crush.
With a glass of wine in my hand and the weekend ahead of me, c'est la vie!

This deliciously spicy stew is great with ham but can also be a delicious vegan dish made with carrots--see note.
Place the ham chunks, onion and 6 cups of water in a medium to large soup pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour. Add the lentil or split peas and BERBERE and reduce heat to low. If you are using lentils, they are smaller and cook faster, so you can add the chopped potato and carrot along with them. If you are using green or yellow split peas, add them first and cook for 30 minutes before adding the other veggies. Cook until the lentils/peas have pretty much dissolved and thickened the broth. Also, lentils can stick to the bottom of the pot so keep the heat low. Add more water as it cooks if it starts getting really thick. Different lentils and peas absorb more or less water, so it is difficult to give an exact amount. Some people like the stew more brothy as well, and some like to stop cooking before the lentils or split peas totally dissolve. Taste and add salt as desired before serving.

Matthew's curator insight, November 20, 2013 1:19 PM
The link between insomnia and depression is something thats been known for a while at least to me that is. After having just finished a broad study of sleep behavior and sleep disorders i can honestly say that sleep is the cure to an excruciatingly high amount of illnesses. A lack of sleep can raise your chances of becoming obese, developing diabetes, and of course becoming depressed. Not to mention the negative affects on your general cognition. All together, missing sleep is a bad idea, and most Americans today do not get enough sleep. Just look at the average teenager. The average teenager needs approximately eight to nine hours of sleep on top of which their cirdadian rythms keep them up late and waske them up late. Teens are meant to sleep in! but of course they are startled awake by the clanging of their alarm at a quarter till sunrise having stayed up till half past midnight studying and are expected to be functioning through their entire day to do it all again. Frankly it's tragic. Now we wonder why teenagers are constant "zombies" and depressed messes. It all leads back to sleep. Get your sleep.
Barbara Bonneau 's comment, November 19, 2013 2:16 AM
Although I can agree that Schizophrenia is too often diagnosed (as is now with autism and bi-polar disorder) I think that there is evidence of a "specific" illness. To define an illness, it is necessary, not to assemble "common" factors of all expressions of what has been called schizophrenia, but to identify at least one or more characteristics that make it different from other mental illnesses and argue why these characteristics indicate the diagnosis of schizophrenia and not another. This is done in differential diagnosis, a form of classical psychiatric diagnosis more or less abandoned by the DSM's.

This article pertains to "clinical" psychotherapy or psychotherapy as inspired by psycho-analysis and not to psycho-analysis. Still, I'm posting it because the claims of CBT are so large and the criticism that is used against psychotherapists includes often psycho-analysis.

Re-imaging a SSD.
I have a Intel 320 120GB SSD that I just installed last Tuesday. Everything went well with loading a image on it from my spinning HDD. Offset is correct and thdrive is running well.
I got up the other morning to find that somehow Windows Auto Update had been turned on and the system had restarted after Win Update had downloaded & installed 18 updates without my permission.
So today I re-loaded that original image I had used on Tuesday to get rid of the 18 updates (Whether I do them in the further is up to me not MS).
This started me thinking about loading a image on a SSD drive.
1) Should I first run the Clean All command to wipe the drive before loading a image on it?
2) What effect does re-imaging a SSD have on the data, partitions and files that are already on the drive?
The program I use is Acronis TI 2011 that they say has full SSD support. But what does that really mean. During the re-image TI deletes all partitions and then recreates them as to what is contained in the image, even if they are the same.
Reading some reports about SSDs deleting partitions & formatting the speed of the SSD was reduced by just deleting a partition and then recreating it and wasn't reduced by just formatting it. In fact formatting it seemed to improve the performance.
So now I'm wondering Should I go back and format or run the Clean All command and then re-image the drive with that original image.
Or am I just being totally Anal Retentive.
Thanks for any comment. And I do mean any.
|My System Specs
|16 Apr 2011
win7 Ult 64
I say leave it alone, when TI puts the image back on the drive it will format it correctly.
I personally use the steps given here when I want to clean my Intel SSDs prior to re-imageing my drives. The info came from the OCZ forum but is applicable to any SSD.

A Joyful and Secure Experience - A Parent's Perspective
It is a crisp Fall morning as my 11-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son get ready for school. I feel as if everything seems rushed as we try to get to school on time, and this makes me stressed. Thank goodness we live near the school. There is so much to do, that as we leave, I'm already planning most of the day before I lock the door to walk to school.
Ten minutes later, we're at the school and thankfully on time. My daughter kisses me goodby before she runs off to join her classmates in the playground - I hope she didn't forget anything this time. Before we walk into the school I tie up the dog and check to see - does my son have his gloves, hat and scarf? Does he have the right footwear for today's weather? Did we remember to remove his pyjamas? We rush into his kindergarten classroom. Yet as I step through the door, I am suddenly aware of a completely different world. Around me are warm, quieting colours, inviting me in. My son is greeted with smiles and a loving hug then sent on his way to join the others in their rich imaginative play. The teacher is already beginning to prepare the bread that the children will bake and eat at snack. I find myself wishing I was 5-years-old too. But most of all, I am so happy that I am able to offer my children the experience of a Waldorf education.
Yes, Waldorf education is a unique world. Its history, philosophy, and curriculum are like no other and within them are the promise of an educational program that understands, loves, and respects the whole child. Much is being discussed and reported about the public educational system, and often the studies and examples of what is working and should be system-wide are already part of the Waldorf method.
Our school is a community - parents and educators drawn together to provide a holistic and transformative education, not just an academic one. It speaks to all aspects of the child, not just the head alone. It is respectful of all races, ethnic groups, and religions, finding a place for many cultures in the school curriculum. Even parents find their own growth and development is valued and nurtured.
Our school is a healthy community that fosters the growth of all individuals connected with it - individuals who lend their strength to the development of the school. The most successful schools are those where parents are involved and that active support plays a strong role in the fabric of our school - from celebrating festivals and fairs to supporting the teacher with driving. Ripples can extend widely if we allow education and society to bring forth the best in each other.
The Halton Waldorf School is part of an international network of approximately 800 Waldorf (or Steiner) schools that share in a rich, 80-year history in providing a classical, academic education enlivened by the arts. Our approach is renowned for its insights into the developing child. Our goal is to foster qualities of confidence, independence and capable intelligence in the children we teach. Waldorf is the fastest growing, non-denominational school movement in the world.
Find out why parents are turning towards the Waldorf model to meet the educational needs of their children.

HoopsHype Carrick Felix rumors
The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired guard John Lucas III and forwards Malcolm Thomas and Erik Murphy from the Utah Jazz in exchange for guard Carrick Felix, a 2015 second round draft pick and cash considerations, General Manager David Griffin announced tonight from Cleveland Clinic Courts. NBA.com
Adrian Wojnarowski: Utah's trading John Lucas, Malcolm Thomas and Erik Murphy to Cleveland for Carrick Felix, future 2nd and $1M, sources tell Yahoo. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski: This is the smaller deal Cavaliers have been pursuing in recent days to try and roll into the larger scope deal with Minnesota. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
The Cavaliers are expected to have one of the better teams entered in the Las Vegas Summer League, which starts on July 11. As expected, David Blatt will coach the team. The roster includes current Cavs players Anthony Bennett, Matthew Dellavedova, Carrick Felix, Sergey Karasev and Scotty Hopson. Also on the team are the Cavs' two draft picks, Kansas swingman Andrew Wiggins (No. 1 overall) and Virginia swingman Joe Harris (33rd overall). The Cavs will play three preliminary round games, all broadcast live on NBA TV, before being seeded in the summer league tournament. Morning Journal
While nothing has been made official yet, Brown said the Cavs would like rookies Anthony Bennett, Sergey Karasev, Carrick Felix and Matthew Dellavedova, along with newly signed Scottie Hopson to all participate on the summer league team this year. "I think it's good for first-and second-year guys to go and play and get that type of experience," Brown said. Akron Beacon Journal

The Cleveland Cavaliers have assigned guard/forward Carrick Felix to the Canton Charge, the Cavaliers exclusively owned and operated NBA Development League team, Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant announced today. Felix has appeared in six games for the Cavs this season, averaging 1.5 points in 4.4 minutes per game. He has also played in three games for the Charge, averaging 9.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game. NBA.com
Mary Schmitt Boyer/Jodie Valade: #Cavs recall Felix, Karasev and Sims from Canton. Twitter @PDcavsinsider
Cavs' Felix will spend some time in Canton Carrick Felix sat in the Canton Charge's locker room on Tuesday when the Cavaliers made their annual pilgrimage to the home of their D-League brethren. The Cavs shooting guard ought to familiarize himself with the surroundings. There's a very good chance he's going to spend some time in the National Basketball Development League this season. Before the Cavs' dreadful 92-74 preseason loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday, Coach Mike Brown sized up Felix's chances of going to the D-League. "Canton might see him a few times," Brown said. That's not necessarily a knock on the 6-foot-6, 201-pounder's ability. It's more a testament to how the Cavs have upgraded the shooting guard/small forward spots. Sulia
Basketball was not Carrick Felix's first love. Believe it or not, the Cavaliers rookie swingman initially wanted to make his living on a skateboard. "I wanted to be the next Tony Hawk,'' he said, referring to the most famous skateboarder in the world. From the age of 7, when a neighbor kid on a skateboard landed in Felix's front yard outside Phoenix, until his junior year in high school, Felix was on his board all day every day. "i was always outside practicing from 7 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock at night,'' he admitted. Cleveland Plain Dealer
He may find that the fall and winter go a little more slowly. Not only is there the grind of his first NBA season, but he will be separated from his 1-year-old daughter Zayah, who lives in Idaho with her mother. Felix said he and his daughter Face Time every day. "It's definitely hard, but it's motivation for me,'' said Felix, who has a bachelor's degree in communications and a master's degree in liberal arts and sciences from ASU. "My daughter's going to know that all I'm doing is for her. Dad's got to go to work. This is something I've got to do now. This is my job.'' Cleveland Plain Dealer
Carrick Felix impressed in summer camp to the point that the team paid him slightly more than minimum for a second-round pick. He receives $510,000 this season, as opposed to $490,000. His second-year salary is $816,000. Both are guaranteed. Making the contract interesting is the next two seasons. Felix will receive $947,000 in 2015-16 and $1 million in 2016-17. Both are club options. So if Felix becomes a good player, he'll be under contract for four years. Cleveland Plain Dealer

Proceeds to benefit the free program of
support at CSCCNJ
Bedminster, NJ, February 21, 2014 – Cancer Support Community Central New Jersey will host a performance of The God Box: A Daughter's Story, a one woman, one act play featuring Mary Lou Quinlan, based on her New York Times bestselling book, at the Bickford Theatre at Morris Museum on Saturday, March 22, at 5:00 p.m.
In this engaging performance, Quinlan explores the laughter and tears of the story of a family in love, in loss and in triumph. The God Box: A Daughter's Story, co-written with director Martha Wollner of New York City's critically acclaimed LAByrinth Theater Company, runs 70 minutes.
The play is the true story of a discovery Quinlan made after the devastating loss of her mother: private boxes of scribbled letters to God-written by the very hand that had slipped away. These tiny notes, asking for everything from the right flooring for her daughter's new home to a cure for her own blood cancer, lure Quinlan on a journey to the ultimate human challenge: learning to let go in order to live.
Quinlan is a marketer, author, actress, speaker and advocate for women. Quinlan owns a marketing company, Just Ask a Woman and has written inspirational features for Real Simple, O, the Oprah magazine, and more. She's appeared as a correspondent on The CBS EARLY Show and many news shows as well as a judge on the premiere season of the ABC series American Inventor among many media appearances. Quinlan, as well as her parents, all experienced cancer.
General admission tickets are $30; VIP tickets, which include premium seating and a copy of The God Box book, are $45. Tickets can be purchased in person at 6 Normandy Height Road, by calling the Bickford Theatre at 6 Normandy Heights Road in Morristown, NJ, or by calling the box office at (973) 971-3706. The performance will be followed by a Q&A session and book signing; copies of The God Box will be available for $15.
All proceeds will benefit CSCCNJ, an organization that creates a supportive community to address the needs of individuals, family, friends and caregivers living with, through and beyond cancer. This program of support is free of charge thanks to the generosity of donors in the community. CSCCNJ support is available during one's entire journey with cancer and continues through bereavement for those who need it.
This is one of several events hosted by CSCCNJ every year; CSCCNJ is also getting ready for Strides for Hope, their annual destination marathon/half marathon that will be run this year at the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 4.

Service-Learning to Find a New Home at Southwestern
Ernest Valdez 06
This spring, the PerkinsProthro Foundation of Wichita Falls, Texas, pledged $3.5 million to the University in support of a lifelong learning center. In recognition of this gift, it will be named the Charles and Elizabeth Prothro Center for Lifelong Learning.
This center will also house Southwesterns Paideia Program, a program that places intentional emphasis on both academic and practical knowledge and forging connections between the classroom and the larger community. The Farrington Suite, another element of the center, will provide accommodations for the centralization of student services, ultimately benefiting the entire campus community. The 49,000-square-foot building also includes space for Information Technology Services and faculty offices. The Charles and Elizabeth Prothro Center for Lifelong Learning will be Southwesterns first facility designed to meet green building, or environmentally sustainable, design guidelines. Other significant financial support for the Center has come from the Robert & Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust, the Lord Foundation Inc. and the Hoblitzelle Foundation.
President Jake B. Schrum described the gift as a splendid endorsement of the Perkins and Prothro families belief that Southwestern continues to prepare graduates who are bright, moral and courageous. The Universitys relationship with the PerkinsProthro families dates back nearly a century. Previous gifts from the Prothros and Perkins have provided for renovations to the Chapel, for library acquisitions, for the expansion of the Frank A. Smith Library Center and for construction of the Red and Charline McCombs Campus Center.
Beyond its financial contributions, the family has also given significantly of its time to the University. Charles Prothro served on Southwesterns Board of Trustees from 19521982. He was chair of the Board for 11 of those years. Continuing his fathers generous service to the University, Joe N. Prothro joined the Board of Trustees in 1982 and served until 1998. He now serves on the Universitys Board of Visitors.
The Universitys efforts to promote lifelong learning were also furthered last year by a $25,000 grant from the W.D. Kelley Foundation, a local philanthropic organization supporting projects for education, recreation, religion, and family and health services. The gift from the Foundation has had far-reaching implications for service and service-learning programs on the Universitys campus. Most significantly, the Foundations gift to Southwestern was directed toward hiring a full-time coordinator of volunteer resources and community-based learning to work with faculty and students on community projects. Having a dedicated staff person, who has a more intentional approach to service, has greatly increased the scope and quantity of service projects accomplished by students with numerous, corresponding benefits for the surrounding community. In the 2004-2005 academic year, Southwestern students worked with 58 non-profit organizations, and the Office of Volunteer Resources has documented well over 18,000 hours of community service by students.

Migration to and through Mexico has been a critical policy issue for the Mexican government since the 1980s, as large numbers of Central Americans have flowed in through the country's porous southern border, first in flight during times of civil war and humanitarian crises and later in pursuit of greater economic opportunity in the United States.
As the United States paused in September to mark the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the enforcement paradigm that took hold immediately after the terrorist attacks showed no signs of waning.
Public backlash against the detention systems of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States mounted in 2011 with allegations of unacceptable living conditions, abuse, prolonged detention, and government waste.

text: Sometimes I have to work for 6-7 hours without a chance to eat. I get insanely hungry during this time but I just down a lot of water to ignore the pain. I work a job that typically goes from 8pm to 2am (club/bar). and I usually get in one more meal with healthy fats and protein before I go to bed. I also make sure (most of the time) that I made my caloric requirements for the day. SO my question is: Are there any detrimental effects to not eating for that 6-7 hours, such as going into a catabolic state?
