Student profile
Bethan Lye, BSc Psychology
"I chose to study BSc Human Psychology at Aston for many reasons - but the placement year was a big draw. I spent a year in my hometown of Southampton working with a clinical psychologist in the NHS Mental Health Rehabilitation Team. I really enjoyed this experience and it has helped me to think about my career options after I graduate.
"The psychology course is both interesting and varied. It is also BPS (British Psychological Society) accredited which means I can work towards becoming a chartered psychologist after I graduate."
Student profile
Tulpesh Patel, MRes Cognitive Neuroscience
Aston University is renowned in the field of neuroimaging and, with our 3T MRI and MEG scanner, it is one of the few UK universities offering an advanced psychological research methods programme. In addition to the academic work, Aston offers lots of development courses.
In comparison to my previous studies, there was a shift in the complexity in the material but supportive and knowledgeable staff were always on hand. The work I have done has really solidified my ambition to forge a path in neuroscience research and I am now expanding much of my existing MRes work as a PhD in collaboration with a local hospital."
Student profile
Geoff Bates, MSc Health Psychology
"With my role as a research assistant at Liverpool John Moores Univeristy, the
MSc Health Psychology
allowed me to develop the skills I needed for the role.
"In my job I interact with people from a wide range of backgrounds including health professionals, the police and other researchers, as well as drug and alcohol users. One of the most important things I feel I gained from the course was an insight into how to work well and engage with people from outside my
immediate field.
"The support I received from staff throughout the course was excellent and I would recommend the course to anyone who is hoping to carry out research around health behaviour."

Mongezi Feza
Mongezi Feza
Mongezi Feza began playing the trumpet very early, and by his teens was already playing professionally in groups, taking part in the very popular jazz competitions. Chris McGregor spotted him there and invited him to join the Blue Notes; with them he fled the country in 1964, playing first at the Antibes Jazz Festival and then in Zurich, London, and Copenhagen. Feza was a member of the ensembles McGregor led and played with Dudu Pukwana in his groups Assagai and Spear in the early '70s. In Flute Music (Caroline 1975), he plays flute and percussion on four original compositions, including the beautiful "Sondela." He was heard on Keith Tippett's huge Centipede (Septober Energy, RCA 1971); with avant-rock's Robert Wyatt (Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard, Virgin 1975), and in Henry Cow with Fred Frith (Desperate Straights and In Praise of Learning, Virgin 1974). In 1972, Johnny Dyani invited Feza to join the trio Xaba, with Turkish percussionist Okay Temiz. Feza recorded one of his last sessions (Diamond Express, Freedom 1977) with Dudu Pukwana. He passed away in 1975, from a combination of nervous disorder and untreated pneumonia; his friends and colleagues believed that his complaints were not taken seriously enough at the London hospital. Explosive yet lyrical, Feza was enamored of the style of Clifford Brown and Booker Little. His free improvisations, infused with the influence of kwela rhythms and African melodies, are a marvel of invention. With his premature death, the European jazz scene lost one of its most original voices and a person loved by audiences and colleagues alike. ~ Francesco Martinelli, Rovi

Artist's Exhibit Explores The History Of Slavery Through Her Ancestry
By Nicole Campbell and Frank Stasio
As a young person, Toni Scott was inspired by stories passed down of her great-grandmother Fannie. Her exploration of her maternal line led her to grapple with the violence of slavery and African-American oppression. This personal journey is told in her latest exhibit "Bloodlines." "Bloodlines" is on view at the Sonja Haynes Stone Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from February 7th to April 26th. Scott hosts an artist's talk at the Stone Center tonight at 7p.m. Host Frank Stasio talks about "Bloodlines" with artist Toni Scott.

Over the last few months, this page has repeatedly demanded that President Bush acknowledge the mistakes his administration made when it came to the war in Iraq, particularly its role in misleading the American people about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and links with Al Qaeda. If we want Mr. Bush to be candid about his mistakes, we should be equally open about our own.
During the run-up to the war, The Times ran dozens of editorials on Iraq, and our insistence that any invasion be backed by ''broad international support'' became a kind of mantra. It was the administration's failure to get that kind of consensus that ultimately led us to oppose the war.
But we agreed with the president on one critical point: that Saddam Hussein was concealing a large weapons program that could pose a threat to the United States or its allies. We repeatedly urged the United Nations Security Council to join with Mr. Bush and force Iraq to disarm.

lets hear it?
you know cells was a joint venture between Sony (priliminary work performed by ken himself) toshiba and IBM right? so no sony no cell. aslo i should point out the head R&D guy at IBM admited to using Cell tech stolen though a legal loophole to build 360s CPU. sooo no Sony no Xenos...
Bluray... well yea i want to hear how your gunna take that away from sony.
as far as the GPU your right any co could have just purchased a GPU from ATi or Nvidia... would nintendow have the resorces to develop a arcutecture to make such a weak GPU perform to the level it has? without cell to help out with the majority of GPU funtions could anyone?
build quality... could nitendo maintain the quality if they outsorced all the work to china like MS while still keeping cost resonable? thats been a major problem for MS they lack the control over exactly how the 360 is produced.
actualy i think the 360 is a shining example of what happens when you try and win a tech fight by out sorcing and throwing together others tech... viper you remember AMC in the 70s and 80s right?
some out sorcing is ok but to suggest you can just buy your way into the next level... all money can do is buy whats best ON THE MARKET. to go beyond that you need to do it yourself... if you have the resorces.
We the people...
your move
We the people...
CELLBE - Being a cooperative venture meant less risk to Sony. It was already based on existing technology with much of the actual hard work done by IBM (technological foundation and actual fabrication). Further use in other products reduces risk as well.
Blu-ray - See above.
The only real risks with either component were costs and as you guys love to point out hat since Sony does so much in house they can quickly reduce those costs therefore reducing risk of that cost. But cost is irrelevant with Sony's (and MS's) console financial policy anyway since they sell at a loss and make up the profits elsewhere (software, Blu-ray sales, Cell licensing, other corporate divisions, etc...)
Given that IBM developed all 3 CPU's, I don't think it's unlikely that Nintendo could have worked with IBM to develop a CPU to handle the workload of a higher end ATi based GPU exactly as Microsoft did.
Manufacturing is outsourced to China. Almost every major piece of hardware from Nintendo has been made in China at the same plant the X360 and PS3 are made. Foxconn in Shenzhen China. Build quality isn't a issue at the location of manufacture but with overall design and Nintendo is known for design quality that is second to none.
im not talking about risk... im talking about straight forward who has more resorces to build more advanced hardware. so again how dose that make nintendo capible of developing tech at the same level as a large manufacture like sony?
We the people...
MS is a software company. How did they do it?
Face facts, When Nintendo wants to compete in the tech race, they tend to actually achieve a high rank on that level. The N64 and GC were far more powerful than most give them credit for and they were competing against Sony pushing themselves at the time just as they did with CELL (Graphics Synthesizer and Emotion Engine anyone?).
its the same thing in any industry when you start to over outsorce your quality takes a hit.
MS is just proving to be a shining example. Nintendo on the other hand has chosen to keep it in house this gen or at least close to there own proven desines.
what im saying is out of the three Sony is in the best position to keep a close eye on there own manufaturing. the majority of PS3 componets are actual Sony made out side of the two major chips sets but power supply capacitors PCB ram moduals are made in sonys own factorys. can nitendow or MS claim that?
this would be a good front page article frosty. a brake down of just what is made ware simular to how the auto industry dose it.
We the people...
Their hardware is just awful, Wii is an insult my HDTV, I have old broken iBooks in my cupboard that tear Wii a new one, making software for other people's hardware would be a better option. Nothing to stop Wii Fit for 360/PS3, and games like Metroid would control way better on the control system that's recognized by 99% of FPS players as being superior, twin sticks. Their games would be much better on real CPUs, real GPUs, real storage space, and real online services like PSN or XBox live. They could have packed the Wiimote in with the game just like they pack in Balance Boards and Wii Motion Plus now. Imagine a Zelda that looked like Oblivion, what a loss.
Make less money, but money isn't everything. Quality is.
Most every gamer of taste thinks this Viper, Nintendo are universally laughed at these days. Gamecube got lots of respect.
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-reverendburn - Funny cool youtuber getting kicked out his home before xmas.
Let's step back a bit because you've deviated from the original point. You've moved the goal posts.
You said Nintendo could not keep up with the tech race. When provided with a valid reason why they could, you've suggested they can't do it without sacrificing quality. You cite MS as an example. Considering that the GC and Wii were both built and deigned on the same principles that a higher end model would, why would build quality suffer? GC was high end, did it suffer from build quality issues? No (ironically Sony did despite having this in house advantage you speak of).
I said and showed they could compete in the tech race had they wanted to. You've conjectured that Nintendo would only be met with the same build quality fate as MS without acknowledging the fact you were wrong about the tech race issue and without any facts to back up why you think they'd replicate MS's faulty designs.
So why did Sony need IBM, Toshiba, NEC and several hundred other component partners to create a PS3? In house? Sure a lot of it is but hundreds of pieces are not. Why do you give them a free pass for Sony yet believe they'd reduce build quality for Nintendo?
You couldn't put more subjectivity into your post without typing the word itself repeatedly.
The quality of Nintendo's games have always been a culmination of many factors - one of which is the synergistic approach they take to hardware and software. You remove one of those facets (and I don't give a damn what you think a "real" console is supposed to contain considering real games were developed on lesser powered machines for the latter part of the past 30 years) and the balance falters and the quality suffers.
No need to get all angry because all the grannies who bought your Nintendo Wii are starting to die off now.
Oh lighten up it's a joke.
Quality of the games offered on Nintendo's console has seriously, seriously dropped. There's no denying it. The respect Gamecube had amongst real gamers is completely lost. They've abandoned Nintendo in droves.
They want their Halo, their modern warfare 2, their Uncharted 2, their God of War. They don't even know or care what happens on Wii.
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-reverendburn - Funny cool youtuber getting kicked out his home before xmas.
Yet Super Mario Galaxy is one of the top 3 highest rated game of all time.
And those people can have and enjoy their Modern Warfare's, their Uncharted's, their God of War's. There are just as many who still want their Mario's, their Zelda's and now also their Wii Sports', their Mario Kart's, and their Brain Age's.
You're subjugating the whole concept of a video game and it's quality under your own standards. I'm afraid the industry has proven that subjectivity is too vast to delegate one perspective as superior over the other. Hate the games, hate the game maker, hate the style; it changes not the relative quality with regards to concept.
Super Mario Galaxy was good two years ago, but what has Nintendo done for us lately? Oh yeah the Super Mario Galaxy Mission Pack is coming out soon. All the bits that weren't good enough to make it into Super Mario Galaxy.
You need a string of well regarded hits, god knows they have enough money to produce them. Boom, Killzone 2, Boom, Infamous, Boom, Uncharted 2, highest rated game of all year, boom boom. Not relying on distant memories of past glories.
The games Nintendo have brought out this year on Wii are just plain awful. By any standards. Why defend mediocrity?
It's October, I'm buying my games for the year, 4 years ago it would have been filled with kickass Gamcube games. Look at the trash on Wii I have to choose from now: http://www.tronixweb.com/store/comingsoon.html
Sold their soul for the almighty dollar.

Funny coming from the guy hyping Obama for Nobel.
I think I'll hold off on directly replying for the moment. The debate has derailed from the previous derailment. I'll break the thread into separate threads to address the individual topics floating throughout and address them according tomorrow.
who knows why they steped outside there own R&D resorces? speed up development? cross referancing their work? to many other projects going on after? after all Sony makes more than one console and handhelds.So why did Sony need IBM, Toshiba, NEC and several hundred other component partners to create a PS3? In house? Sure a lot of it is but hundreds of pieces are not. Why do you give them a free pass for Sony yet believe they'd reduce build quality for Nintendo?
but in the end they still used there own in house chip plants for the actual production of the CPU/GPU/RAM with the lisencing going to IBM Nvidia and Rambus.
We the people...
I think all the console makers take risks and could fail miserably everytime they release a new console so this is a pointless debate especially considering how indestructible i thought Sony were before they released the PS3 and look at them now.
As for Blu Ray and Cell not being risks Viper i think that comment is just childish. Go look at the production yield rate for Blu Ray diodes when the PS3 was released it was like only one in ten produced would work and it was new tech going up against a pretty ready to hit the market HD DVD. Cell also cost a fortune to develop between the 3 companies. Remember those articles on R&D costs for Sony that they would never be able to recoup over the PS3's lifetime?
MS, Sony and Nintendo all took risks but if you have to choose one that took the most it would have to be Sony.
Technology Risk = Sony Big Time.
Early to market risk = MS
Lack of hardware spec increase risk = Nintendo

No, his computer was just down for a month. He's definitely still around and probably still doing RBN.
Yes, still pumping in for the RBN. I'm about done with a few more songs, actually, so stay tuned for announcements.
And I would probably be offended by the fact that I'm not on the Authoring Group page, since I've been for hire for pretty much any kind of music, but I think after the next few artists I'm working with, I think I may join TAG full-time, and only release my own songs as a solo author.

We were in town for our daughter who was attending Iowa State University. We thought the hotel staff was very accommodating. We did have a problem with... the toilet but staff quickly upgraded us to a better room. The hotel is older and could use some updating/refurbishing. The rooms were clean. They put on a great breakfast with many choices. The hot tub's jets were too strong and maybe a little too warm, but pool was pleasing. Amenities included fresh fruit and cookies available and a cocktail hour with 2 free beers or wine. We were pleased with our stay. by Deb from Minnesota on 31/08/2013

Another shooting, another video game linking. But this time it hits much closer to home because it isn't a direct result of playing a violent video game. Instead, it's a direct result of not being able to play a violent video game: http://www.cleveland.com/news/index....ot_dad_ov.html

Things I liked:Great looking. Smooth action. Easy to operate and adjust. Extremely accurate. Things I would have changed:Power adjustment knob needs positive clicks rather than free spinning. Adjustable butt-pad. What others should know:This is one magnificent air rifle and is .22 caliber. I have been extremely impressed. Both Air Arms fields plus 5.52 and JSB heavies 18.1 grain work very well with the JSB grouping a tiny bit better at greater distances (70+ yards and up). After learning the rifle and finding the right pellet/barrel match, I have been able to make 5 shot groups of 1 inch at 103 yards. I have even made some 3/4 inch groups at that distance. A 20 shot group at that distance was slightly under 1 1/2 inches. This was using a rest. It has a sweet spot of 175 bar down to around 120 bar. This results in 25 consistent shots. Although you can fill to 200 bar and shoot down to 110 bar and get many more shots, which will be accurate at closer distances (50 yards and closer).

Soy (Glycine max)
Original Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/soy/NS_patient-soy
Soy (Glycine max)
Natural Standard® Patient Monograph, Copyright © 2013 (www.naturalstandard.com). All Rights Reserved. Commercial distribution prohibited. This monograph is intended for informational purposes only, and should not be interpreted as specific medical advice. You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making decisions about therapies and/or health conditions.
Soy is a subtropical plant, native to southeastern Asia. This member of the pea family (Fabaceae) grows from one to five-feet tall and forms clusters of three to five pods, each containing two to four beans per pod. Soy has been a dietary staple in Asian countries for at least 5,000 years, and during the Chou dynasty in China (1134-246 B.C.), fermentation techniques were discovered that allowed soy to be prepared in more easily digestible forms such as tempeh, miso, and tamari soy sauce. Tofu was invented in 2 nd -Century China.
Soy was introduced to Europe in the 1700s and to the United States in the 1800s. Large-scale soybean cultivation began in the United States during World War II. Currently, Midwestern U.S. states produce approximately half of the world's supply of soybeans.
Soy contains protein, isoflavones, and fiber, all thought to provide health benefits. Soy is an excellent source of dietary protein, including all essential amino acids. Soy is also a source of lecithin or phospholipid. Soy isoflavones and lecithin have been studied scientifically for numerous health conditions. Isoflavones such as genistein are believed to have estrogen-like effects in the body, and as a result are sometimes called "phytoestrogens."
Common sources of soy isoflavones include roasted soybean, green soybean, soy flour, tempeh, tofu, tofu yogurt, soy hot dogs, miso, soy butter, soy nut butter, soy ice cream, soy milk, soy yogurt, tofu pups®, soy cheese, bean curd, seitan, and soy noodles. Soybean flour is found in Spanish sausage products (chorizo, salchichon, mortadella, and boiled ham), doughnuts, and soup stock cubes. Although processed soy foods (e.g., veggie burgers, tofu pups®, meatless dinner entrees, chicken-free nuggets, soy "ice creams" and energy bars) are usually high in protein, they typically contain lower levels of isoflavones.
Soy protein has also been investigated for benefit in terms of other cardiovascular disease risk factors, reducing menopausal symptoms, weight loss, arthritis, brain function, and exercise performance enhancement. Dietary soy may decrease the risk of breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men, as well as other types of cancers. In general, the supportive evidence for use of phytoestrogens as treatments for menopause, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis (weak bone mass), and cancer is limited. The use of soy formula has been investigated in the treatment of diarrhea in infants and is an effective and safe alternative to cow's milk formula in most infants. Due to limited human study, there is currently not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy for weight reduction.

These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Dietary source of proteinSoy products, such as tofu, are high in protein and are an acceptable source of dietary protein. | A |
High cholesterolNumerous human studies report that adding soy protein to the diet can moderately decrease blood levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein ("bad" cholesterol). Small reductions in triglycerides may also occur, while high-density lipoprotein ("good" cholesterol) is altered in some, but not all, studies. Some scientists have proposed that specific components of soybean, such as the isoflavones genistein and daidzein, may be responsible for the cholesterol-lowering properties of soy. However, this has not been clearly demonstrated in research and remains controversial. It is not known if products containing isolated soy isoflavones have the same effects as regular dietary intake of soy protein. Dietary soy protein has not been proven to affect long-term cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart attack or stroke. | A |
Diarrhea (acute) in infants and young childrenNumerous studies report that infants and young children (2-36 months old) with diarrhea who are fed soy formulas experience fewer daily bowel movements and fewer days of diarrhea. This research suggests that soy has benefits over other types of formula, including cow milk-based solutions. The addition of soy fiber to soy formula may increase the effectiveness. Better quality research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made. Parents are advised to speak with qualified healthcare providers if their infants experience prolonged diarrhea, become dehydrated, develop signs of infections (such as fever), or have blood in the stool. A healthcare provider should be consulted for current breastfeeding recommendations and to suggest long-term formulas that provide enough nutrition. | B |
Allergies (prevention of food allergies)Soy formulas are commonly used by infants with sensitivities to milk-based formulas. There is currently little evidence to support the use of soy formulas for preventing food allergies. Further research is needed in this field. | C |
AntioxidantThere is some evidence in support of soy increasing antioxidant status in humans. In general, diets high in plant foods may offer antioxidant benefits. Further research is required in this field before recommendations can be made. | C |
Bowel/intestinal disordersThe effect of soy on erosive-ulcer lesions of the alimentary tract has been examined in limited study. Overall, the effects of soy products appear beneficial. Further study is required before recommendations can be made. | C |
Cancer (prevention and treatment)Several large population studies have asked people about their eating habits and reported that higher soy intake (such as dietary tofu) is associated with a decreased risk of developing various types of cancers, including breast, prostate, and colon cancer. However, other research suggests that soy does not have this effect. Until better research is available, it remains unclear if dietary soy or soy isoflavone supplements increase or decrease the risk of these cancers. | C |
Cardiovascular diseaseDietary soy protein has not been shown to affect long-term cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart attack or stroke. Research does suggest cholesterol-lowering effects of dietary soy, which in theory, may reduce the risk of heart problems. Soy has also been studied for blood pressure-lowering and blood sugar-reducing properties in people with type 2 diabetes, although the evidence is not definitive in these areas. In women with suspected cardiac ischemia, high levels of the soy isoflavone genistein have been associated with blood vessel problems. Further investigation is needed before a strong recommendation can be made. | C |
Cognitive functionIt is unclear if soy isoflavone supplementation in postmenopausal women can improve cognitive function. Results from studies are mixed. | C |
Crohn's diseaseDue to limited human research, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy as a way to prevent Crohn's disease. Further research is needed before a recommendation can be made. | C |
Cyclical breast painIt has been theorized that the "phytoestrogens" (plant-based compounds with weak estrogen-like properties) in soy may be beneficial to premenopausal women with cyclical breast pain. However, due to limited human research, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of dietary soy protein as a therapy for this condition. | C |
DiabetesSeveral small studies have examined the effects of soy products on blood sugar levels in people with type 2 ("adult-onset") diabetes. Results are mixed, with some research reporting decreased blood glucose levels and other trials noting no effects. Overall, research in this area is not well designed or reported and better information is needed. | C |
Exercise performance enhancementSoy protein has been investigated as a source of protein with potential for benefit in exercise performance. In general, research findings suggest soy protein is better than no protein but is unlikely to be superior to other sources of protein. Further research is required in this field. | C |
Gallstones (cholelithiasis)Due to limited human research, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy as a therapy in cholelithiasis. Further research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made. | C |
Gastrointestinal motilityIn limited available studies, the addition of soy polysaccharide to non-regular diets increased the moisture content of stool and decreased the number of liquid stools. It is not clear if soy polysaccharide would be superior to other fiber sources in this regard. | C |
High blood pressureThere is limited human research on the effects of dietary soy on blood pressure. Some research suggests that substituting soy nuts for non-soy protein may help improve blood pressure. Further research is needed before a firm recommendation can be made. | C |
Infantile colicThere is currently a lack of scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy formula for fussiness and gas in infants with cow's milk allergy over a partially hydrolyzed cow's milk protein formula. | C |
InflammationThere is currently a lack of scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy protein on inflammation associated with hemodialysis (removal of waste products from the blood). | C |
Iron deficiency anemiaThere is currently a lack of sufficient evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy-based formula in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in children. | C |
Kidney disease (chronic renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, proteinuria)Due to limited human study, there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy in the treatment of kidney diseases, such as nephrotic syndrome. People with kidney disease should speak with their healthcare providers about the recommended amounts of dietary protein because soy is a high-protein food. | C |
Menopausal symptomsOverall, evidence suggests that soy products containing isoflavones may help reduce menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes. More study is needed to confirm this use. | C |
Menstrual migraineA phytoestrogen combination may help prevent menstrual migraine attacks. Further research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made. | C |
Metabolic syndromeTreatment with soy protein and soy nuts was evaluated in patients with metabolic syndrome and benefits were found in terms of plasma lipids in patients consuming soy nuts as part of the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet. Further research is required in this field in terms of soy protein supplementation. | C |
Obesity/weight reductionSome research suggests that soy might be as effective as skim milk and more effective than a low-calorie diet alone in reducing weight. Other research has reported conflicting results. Further research is needed before a strong recommendation can be made. | C |
OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis is a form of arthritis caused by the breakdown of cartilage. Early research suggests that intake of soy protein may be associated with reduced symptoms of osteoarthritis. | C |
OsteoporosisIt has been theorized that "phytoestrogens in soy" (such as isoflavones) may increase bone mineral density in post-menopausal women and reduce the risk of fractures. However, more research is needed before a conclusion can be made. | C |
Quality of lifeThe effect of soy on quality of life has been investigated in limited study. Further study is required before recommendations can be made. | C |
Rheumatoid arthritisThere is currently insufficient evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. | C |
Skin agingIt is unclear if aglycones, a form of soy isoflavone, can improve aged skin in middle-aged women when it is taken by mouth. More research is needed. | C |
Skin damage caused by the sunA soy moisturizing cream may help improve signs of sun damage, including discoloration, blotchiness, dullness, fine lines, and overall texture. Because the cream contained other ingredients besides soy, more research with soy alone is needed. | C |
Spinal cord injuryWhey protein has traditionally been used as a protein source to increase body strength. Limited available study investigated whether soy protein could be used to increase ambulation performance in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. There is currently not enough evidence to recommend for or against the use of soy as a treatment for increased endurance in individuals with spinal cord injury. | C |
Thyroid disordersEarly research suggests that soy supplements do not affect thyroid function. More research is needed. | C |
TuberculosisIt has been suggested that soy may be beneficial for tuberculosis when taken with standard medications. According to early research, soy may improve the process of detoxification, have positive effects on the liver, reduce cell damage, and decrease inflammation. Therefore, soy supplements may allow patients to safely take higher doses of antimicrobial drugs that are used to treat tuberculosis. | C |
Weight gain (infants)In limited study, weaning infants with cow's milk allergy to soy based formula resulted in reduced weight for age as compared with formulas containing hydrolyzed proteins (broken down). Further research is required in this field. | C |
A Strong scientific evidence for this use
B Good scientific evidence for this use
C Unclear scientific evidence for this use
D Fair scientific evidence against this use (it may not work)
F Strong scientific evidence against this use (it likely does not work)

The below doses are based on scientific research, publications, traditional use, or expert opinion. Many herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested, and safety and effectiveness may not be proven. Brands may be made differently, with variable ingredients, even within the same brand. The below doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.
Adults (over 18 years old)
Soy is typically consumed as a protein drink, soy flour, isolated soy protein (e.g. Supro®), extract, fiber/cereal, or milk beverage. Studies have examined the effects of 10-106 grams of soy with an isoflavone content of about 40-120 milligrams taken daily for up to 12 months by mouth.
A dose of 20-106 grams of soy protein taken daily by mouth has been studied in people with high cholesterol. Isoflavone content has ranged from 60 to over 100 milligrams daily. Cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels have been reduced in people using these doses of soy protein. There is limited study of soymilk (400 milliliters daily) in pre-menopausal women, with reported benefits on cholesterol levels. Additional doses have been studied but are not recommended due to a lack of available scientific evidence.
Children (under 18 years old)
Due to potential safety concerns, a qualified healthcare provider should be consulted regarding the choice of infant formula.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects.
Soy may act as a food allergen similar to milk, eggs, peanuts, fish, and wheat. Symptoms of an allergic reaction range from a runny nose to a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Side Effects and Warnings
Soy has been a dietary staple in many countries for more than 5,000 years and it does not appear to cause long-term toxicity. Aside from allergic reactions, limited side effects have been reported in infants, children, and adults.
Soy protein taken by mouth has been associated with stomach and intestinal difficulties, such as bloating, nausea, and constipation. Changes in stool quality have been reported. More serious intestinal side effects have been uncommonly reported in infants fed soy protein formula, including vomiting, diarrhea, growth failure, and damage/bleeding of the intestine walls. People who experience intestinal irritation (colitis) from cow's milk may also react to soy formula.
Based on human case reports and animal research, soy may affect thyroid hormone levels in infants. There have been rare reports of goiters (enlarged neck due to increased thyroid size). Hormone levels became normal again after stopping soy. Infants fed soy or cow's milk formula may also have higher rates of atopic eczema than infants who are breastfed.
Acute migraine headache has been reported with the use of a soy isoflavone product. Based on animal research, damage to the pancreas may theoretically occur from regularly eating raw soybeans or soy flour/protein powder made from raw, unroasted, or unfermented beans.
The use of soy is often discouraged in patients with hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast, ovarian, or uterine cancer, due to concerns about possible estrogen-like effects (which theoretically may stimulate tumor growth). Other hormone-sensitive conditions, such as endometriosis, may also theoretically be worsened. In laboratory studies, it is not clear if isoflavones stimulate or block the effects of estrogen or both (acting as a "receptor agonist/antagonist"). Until additional research is available, patients with these conditions should be cautious and speak with a qualified healthcare practitioner before starting use.
It is not known if soy or soy isoflavones share the same side effects as estrogens, such as increased risk of blood clots. Early studies suggest that soy isoflavones, unlike estrogens, do not cause the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to build up.
There has been a case report of vitamin D deficiency rickets in an infant nursed with soybean milk (not specifically designed for infants). Patients should consult their qualified healthcare practitioners for current breastfeeding recommendations and use formulas with adequate nutritional value.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Soy as a part of the regular diet is traditionally considered to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, although scientific research is limited in these areas. The effects of high doses of soy or soy isoflavones in humans are not clear, and therefore are not recommended.
Recent study demonstrates that isoflavones, which may have estrogen-like properties, are transferred through breast milk from mothers to infants. High doses of isoflavones given to pregnant animals have resulted in tumors and reproductive changes in offspring, although this has not been tested in humans.
In one human study, male infants born to women who ingested soymilk or soy products during pregnancy experienced more frequent hypospadias (a birth defect in which the urethral meatus, the opening from which urine passes, is abnormally positioned on the underside of the penis). However, other human and animal studies have examined males or females fed soy formula as infants, and have not found abnormalities in infant growth, head circumference, height, weight, occurrence of puberty, menstruation, or reproductive ability.
Research in children during the first year of life has found that the substitution of soy formula for cow's milk may be associated with significantly lower bone mineral density. Parents considering the use of soy formula should speak with qualified healthcare practitioners to make sure the appropriate vitamins and minerals are provided in the formula.

Here is my response to a writer who says her home is a "porn free zone."
Unfortunately, this writer is grossly misinformed about all things sexual. Humans are built for sex, love sex and visual and written porn have been a part of sex as long as history has been recorded. Romance novels are as much porn as any movie. Women in general respond to written or spoken porn men more to visual porn. That is the way our brains are wired. I would imagine that…

I am off to Australia on Monday. If you have any Aussie friends in Sydney, Brisbane, Tasmania or Melbourne, let them know I'll be in their area sometime in Feb. Now I have to get back to studying. I am trying to learn enough Aussie to be able to say "hi" and "bye" and "gooday mate" properly. I have been told that the Queenslanders are a unique breed. I'll just have to see for myself.

Life on the Swingset podcast, it's not often I get to talk to four fun and experienced people about sex. Cooper S Beckett, Ginger, Sher-b-cats, and Dylan were a total blast. This is a no-holds-barred discussion. This is almost unlike any podcast I have been on recently. Such great conversation!! If you are not listening to this podcast regularly, you are missing some great ideas and education.…
ContinueI have not made it to the duck sex part yet, I'm a slow reader. I think it has a lot to do with my visual (artistic mind) and possibly Attention Deficit Disorder. I am learning from your book. I never really understood why my profession was so difficult until some recent prejudice encounters and from learning how religous people think by reading your book. I hope it helps me learn how to cope better. I was wondering if you have ever helped anyone who is atheist with anger management:) It seems that depression and anger is an atheist's or my biggest dilemma. Never being taught how to live an atheist life and learning it all on your own is painful and sometimes but less frequently very rewarding.
Thanks, Darrel. Looking forward to Austin!
Mr. Ray,
I'm currently reading Sex and God and am enjoying every word of it. Thank you for this book. I find myself nodding my head at most of the passages. I think this should be required reading in high school when they teach sex education. I can only imagine what the world would be like if we viewed sex without all the disgusting guilt and shame attached to it by all the religions. Again, thank you sir, and keep writing.
Hi Darrel. Last month we breakfasted together at the Lowell Center in Madison, WI (Freethought Festival) and you mentioned that you might be able to help me get my novel published, or at least give me a contact agent or publisher who handles nontheist material. As we had no writing implements handy, we could not exchange contact info. Please respond when you can. Thanks.
Uhhhh, am I the only one who misread 'Bonner Springs'? Must be the influence of your area of recent study, bouncing around in my Freudian lobe.
Cool! I will review your book once I have read it!
Just bought sex and god for my kindle! Cant wait to read it!
Ok -- I will read it fast so that I can get your new book! Thanks for telling me about it. I will put it on my wishlist right now!
I got your book from Amazon today! I can't wait to get started reading it!

Well if this movie lives up to the potential in it's trailer it will join them among the best horror comedies out there.

The only problem is a distributor hasn't picked it up yet. The only place to see it is at one of the various film festivals across the country, though I'm sure it'll get picked up soon (maybe by Anchor Bay or Lionsgate).

A post-game interview with Kaden Hepler almost always includes a section devoted to his teammates.
The West York senior wouldn't have it any other way.
Sure, Hepler is a star: his remarkable 13-0 pitching record and ridiculous 0.50 earned-run average attest to that. Oh yes, he also carries a .346 batting average.
However, Hepler is a lot more comfortable on the mound and at the plate than in the spotlight.
The Winthrop (S.C.) University recruit enjoys spending time with his teammates, whether they're competing in games, hanging out in the clubhouse or filling time during a lightning delay by doing their rendition of songs from the 1960s to the 1990s.
"I have great teammates who I have to be thankful for," said Hepler, this year's York-Adams League Division II Player of the Year. "I couldn't ask for any better group of guys. I count on them to score runs for me, and they count on me to go out and shut them (opposing teams) down."
Hepler also appreciates the Player of the Year votes he received from the division coaches.
"I'm honored that I got the support of other teams," he said.
West York head coach Roger Czerwinski, who's been working with the right-hander since he was 13, sees a side of Hepler that fans don't get a chance to see.
"Along with everything he does out here (on the field), I'm just as impressed with what he does in there (the dugout)," Czerwinski said. "His leadership is outstanding. Kaden is a special young man."
Hepler will try to cap his stellar career by leading West York to a PIAA Class AAA state title on Friday evening at Penn State against Lampeter-Strasburg.
While Hepler was winning the Player of the Year honor in Division II, Austin Calaman of Dallastown, Alex Emlet of Bermudian Springs and Casey Ayers of Biglerville were selected by the coaches as the top players in Division I, III and IV, respectively.
Czerwinski shared the Coach of the Year award in Division II with Don Kauffman of Northeastern.
Don Trout of Dallastown (Division I), Todd Gantz of Littlestown (Division III) and Rob Alkhas of York Tech (Division) were the Coaches of the Year in their respective divisions.
Dallastown's Trout said his team leaned on Calaman.
"Driving in runs, starting, relieving, he did a lot for us," the Wildcats' veteran coach said. "Cal came in this year with the reputation from the men's league. (Calaman was the Outstanding Young Player in the Susquehanna League last summer). He can flat-out hit."
Calaman batted .479 during the regular season, displaying extra-base power with six triples and three home runs. As a pitcher, he was 5-2 with a 2.10 earned-run average.
Calaman, who will play baseball at York College, credited the constant workouts he had with former teammate Derek Pitzer and others for getting him in tip-top shape.
"I dropped 40 pounds and I built on my new body," he said. "We did some lifting, but not a lot. We did a lot of throwing and running and other baseball-type things."
Calaman said it's an honor to be selected Player of the Year.
"It was a sentimental moment being my senior year," he said. "It was also nice coming after being honored last year in the Susquehanna League."
Emlet compiled a 2.22 earned-run average in 35 innings for Bermudian Springs. He batted .434.
Ayers hit .561 with nine doubles, two triples and one home run. Biglerville coach Jeff Taylor said Ayers' batting average is the highest in his 24 years with the Canners' program.

MARQUETTE -- Marquette Senior High School took a unique hands-on approach with freshman students to give them a lesson they'd never forget about the real world that lies ahead.
The annual event is called the Reality Store, and the main coordinator, Lisa Jahnke, says the day provides "valuable experience."
"They go through housing, transportation, insurance, food, child care...They learn what real life is like," insisted Jahnke.
Students picked professions and then had to budget, living within their means.
Senior Samantha Schwemin, 18, did the same program when she was a freshman and calls it "eye opening."
"You're kind of hidden from all that stuff," said Schwemin. "It kind of exposes you to it more."
Students also juggled extra payments for spouses, kids and late fees for bills.
"It's expensive to own a house and have to buy food every month," said 15-year-old Jarrod Masuga.
And he's not the only student who struggled. Freshman Madison Rieboldt also got a glimpse of how hard reality can become.
"I ran out of money," declared Rieboldt. "I guess I didn't use it wise enough. It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be."
