A-Rod singles, Yankees lose 8-1 to White Sox
Alex Rodriguez got hit with a long suspension, then made his return to the lineup.
Derek Jeter got shut down, at least for a little while. And if that wasn't enough, the Yankees somehow managed to get blown out by a team that had dropped 10 in a row.
Otherwise, it was just another day at the ballpark.
Alex Rios Drove in four runs, Alexei Ramirez added four hits and the Chicago White Sox stopped their skid with an 8-1 victory over New York on Monday night.
''I think they hit the ball in the right spots tonight and swung the bats pretty well,'' Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
As for A-Rod?
''I thought he looked OK,'' Girardi said. ''I thought his swings looked pretty good tonight. That's about all I can say. I thought he looked OK.''
Rodriguez, who was booed and taunted all night, blooped a single in his season debut, hours after he was suspended through 2014 by Major League Baseball in the Biogenesis case.
The three-time MVP, who had been out following hip surgery, plans to appeal his punishment.
''I just hope that there's a happy ending there somewhere,'' he said.
His suspension overshadowed everything else, whether it was Jeter going back on the disabled list because of a strained right calf, Andy Pettitte (7-9) getting knocked out early or Jose Quintana (6-3) pitching into the seventh for the White Sox.
Was it a good day for baseball?
''A little bit of both,'' Jeter said. ''I don't know if you can say it's a good day anytime you're talking about a negative, negativity. I understand what baseball is trying to do; they're cracking down on players.''
Rodriguez, meanwhile, is digging in, ready to go toe to toe with MLB.
At 38 and coming back from the hip injury, he said he's fighting for his life. He was welcomed back with the same sort of greeting he got on the road in the past, a series of boos and jeers that were amplified by the penalty announced earlier in the day.
The crowd at U.S. Cellular Field booed Rodriguez during pregame warm-ups and introductions. When he stepped to the plate in the second inning, the fans could have drowned out a jet.
They weren't feeling any better after Rodriguez dropped a leadoff single into shallow left on the third pitch. He moved to third with no outs on Vernon Wells' double but was stranded.
Rodriguez flied out in his second and third at-bats and handled a few grounders at third, getting booed every time he stepped to the plate or touched the ball.
He also struck out in the eighth as fans chanted ''Steroids! Steroids!''
Rodriguez shrugged off the reaction. ''I love Chicago,'' he said. ''I love the fans here. It's just a great town, great people. I'm just so humbled being on the field, being able to play the game I love.''
Rodriguez did not deny using performance-enhancing drugs in a news conference after the punishment came down. Instead he said he will talk about whether he used PEDs at another time when he is more free to speak.
He did say he has to defend himself because no one else will.
''I want nothing but the best for Al and his family,'' Pettitte said. ''Glad to see him back. He's going to help this club. He's a great ballplayer. He's into the game. He'll definitely help us.''
The Yankees are hoping Rodriguez can provide some sort of spark even though they're fading from the playoff picture. They need more power for their lineup, something that's been a particular problem for their third basemen.
Pettitte, however, did them no favors. He lasted 2 2-3 innings in his shortest outing since July 18, 2010, while matching season highs for runs (seven) and hits (11). He fell to 0-3 in his last four starts.
Rios delivered an RBI single and scored during a three-run first. He added a two-run single in the second that made it 5-0.
Rios then capped a two-run third with a bases-loaded walk after Preston Claiborne replaced Pettitte, making it 7-0.
That was more than enough for Quintana, who gave up one run and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings.
''It was just a good night offensively,'' White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. ''Guys were swinging it.''
NOTES: Pettitte is the first Yankees pitcher since at least 1920 to allow runs in the first inning in seven straight starts within a single season, according to STATS LLC. ... Besides Rodriguez, Yankees C Francisco Cervelli and minor league OF Fernando Martinez were suspended 50 games. ''I think he had made strides this year as a player, and I want him to come into spring training ready to go, try to learn from what has happened,'' manager Joe Girardi said when asked about Cervelli. ... With Jeter going on the DL, the Yankees recalled infielder Dave Adams from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. They also designated infielder Brent Lillibridge for assignment, and Rodriguez was activated from the disabled list. Outfielder Thomas Neal was claimed off waivers by the Cubs. ... White Sox LF Dayan Viciedo jammed his left thumb diving for Robinson Cano's single in the first inning and left the game. The team said X-rays were negative and he's day to day. ... RHP Hiroki Kuroda (10-6, 2.38 ERA) starts for the Yankees, with LHP Chris Sale (6-11, 2.92) pitching for Chicago on Tuesday.

Jack's Stupidest Toy Ever: The Furry Bolster Pillow
Thursday, September 1st, 2011
Nine months.
A couple of weeks ago while shopping at Super Target, I was standing in the baby food aisle, resting on Jack's stroller as my wife finalized her selection. I looked down at the shelf beside me and saw a hilarious looking, white shag carpet accent pillow. It had obviously been abandoned in the wrong section. As I picked it up to examine the weird thing a bit closer, Jack immediately began laughing; he thought I was about to playfully ram him in the chest with it. So I did.
I should point out the that Jack loves to have random objects fly toward him and bump him, especially in the head and chest. It makes him laugh hysterically; always has.
The other reason that the sight of the pillow made him laugh was probably because it looks like the two dogs he has met in his life, one of those canines in particular reminds me of Falcor from The Never Ending Story. He has laughed at the sight of shaggy white dogs he has met, so he just associated the pillow with them.
Jack is at the age now where the kind of toy he needs most is a learning center with gears and gadgets for him to pull on. I realize that technically, that's not how we should have spent $12 that day. But I just had to do it.
So that was a few weeks ago and I must say, I incorporate the stupid shag carpet bolster pillow into Jack's daily playtime- I sort of feel obligated to. Fortunately, he's still crazy about the random, bizarre, giant rabbit's foot.
I have this theory that some of the best toys you can buy for a baby boy are actually dog toys. After all, isn't this story a bit reminiscent of when I bought Jack the sock monkey dog bed when he was a newborn?
The truth is, I call Jack my "baby puppy" on a daily basis; especially when he follows me around the house with a big grin on his face. So I throw him a bone. Well, not actually a bone, but a two foot long, somewhat awkward-looking pillow.
I'm not sure what he really thinks the pillow is. Maybe he thinks it's a friendly dog in the form of a cube. Or the head of a giant Q-tip.
He's sort of weird for liking it so much. I'm even weirder for buying it for him.

New Investor Partnership Co-led by Founder and CEO Dennis Gillings, Bain
Capital and TPG
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Quintiles Transnational Corp. today announced the formation of a new investor partnership to support the company's continued growth under the leadership of current Chairman and CEO Dennis Gillings, CBE, and the management team. Gillings and global private investment firms Bain Capital and TPG Capital are the lead investors in the partnership, with 3i also becoming a significant investor. Temasek Holdings remains an investor in Quintiles.
As part of the transaction, One Equity Partners (OEP), the private equity arm of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), will sell its stake in the company to the new investor partnership. OEP, with Gillings, led the original acquisition of Quintiles along with TPG Capital in September 2003. Terms of the transaction, expected to close in January 2008, were not disclosed, and the company said it is incurring no new debt as a result of the deal.
"Our new investor partnership is a strong reinforcement of Quintiles' brand and growth strategy," Gillings said, "and has been spurred by our record performance. We are pleased to move forward with our financial partners Bain Capital, TPG, 3i and Temasek. The strength of our capital structure and partnership with these leading global investors underscore our unsurpassed ability to bring innovative solutions to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. I also want to thank One Equity Partners for their contributions over the past four years."
Jonathan Coslet, a Partner at TPG, said: "We are pleased to remain

The colorful Nicobar pigeon has such a strong, hooked bill that it can crack open nuts that would require a hammer for a human. They also feed on fruit and various invertebrates found among the leaf litter on the wooded islands they inhabit. Hunting and habitat loss are threatening the species' survival.
Living and feeding on the forest floor like a pheasant, the white-naped pheasant pigeon flushes noisily when disturbed. Other than its typical pigeon head, it resembles more a small ground fowl. Its long moaning coo, also uncharacteristic of a pigeon, carries a long distance through the forest.
Social structure: Solitary
The Victoria crowned pigeon is quite spectacular, named for the tall, wispy fan of feathers it raises on top of its head. The largest of all living pigeons, the Victoria crowned pigeon gathers in small flocks to forage for fruits and berries that have fallen to the forest floor.
Overgrazing by cattle and drought reduce the amount of grassland habitat available for the quail, which depend on plants for food and cover to protect them and their ground nests from predators. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working to reestablish masked bobwhite quail populations in Arizona.
Difficult to spot its green feathers among the foliage, the Jambu fruit dove's soft cooing gives it away. Generally solitary or in pairs, a flock of doves will gather together at a fruiting tree to feed. They pluck fruits directly from the tree or feast on fruits knocked to the ground by monkeys and hornbills.
The largest member of the pheasant family, the peacock is famous for its striking appearance. Each year the male peacock grows colorful tail feathers up to several feet long. He spreads out these blue and green patterned feathers in a large fan and shivers them to attract a mate.

People are apparently so desperate for free crap that they're willing to line up in their underwear in the streets of New York City's Soho neighborhood. This photo was taken as part of a marketing stunt by the retailer Desigual that went down in NYC yesterday. The catch: line up naked (well, nearly naked) outside the store, and the first 100 people would get free outfits (everyone else gets a 50 percent discount coupon). The rowdy underwear-clad crowd shouted things like "We're getting naked!" which isn't something you'd really want to hear (or see) from a stranger before 10 a.m. on a weekday. Maybe this is just our opinion, though? Would you stand around in your bra and panties in a public place if it meant getting a free outfit? [DailyCandy Twitter, CBS NY] Keep reading »

Georgetown FNP Fall 2013 Cohort
- 0May 12, '13 by canucks090Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if there is anyone else out there that will be starting the online FNP program through Georgetown University starting in Fall (September) 2013. I am going to be in the Part-time track. Post if you will be joining me!
- 0May 17, '13 by medic33Justin,
I am starting in the same program as you! The welcome call was informative, but I have as yet to complete the full committment payment. I have been accepted to another program, but it is a bit different. The other program is a FNP/DNP program, full-time, with frequent campus visits 2 1/2 hrs away from my home, but they have dangled a partial to full grant for the three year program.
Georgetown seems to have great tech support, part-time program, they and great reputation. I live in Iowa, and I love that Georgetown University will prepare me as an autonomous FNP where I can practice in Iowa. The downside is the finances.
Are you excited to start? Why did you choose Georgetown? I will probably see you soon in the virtual classroom
- 0May 19, '13 by canucks090Hi Mary,
Thanks for the reply. I am choosing Georgetown for a number of reasons. The first is the name recognition and reputation of the University. I think this will help with employment prospects. Also, I like the fact that the weekly class sessions are two hours each, and that the remaining lectures can be completed on my own time. Also, by being able to precept with local preceptors, I will already have connections for employment based on where I live. The tech support and setup is amazing, or at least seems to be thus far. I think that the program will definitely be worth the cost. I hope you join me in the fall and choose Georgetown, but if not, I wish you the best!
- 0Jul 26, '13 by rockymnthoneyJustin,
I am starting on November 10th after I return from a medical volunteer trip. So far I haven't seen anyone else with a November start date but one of our flight nurses will be starting in Sept. How are things coming along with the pre-school worklist? I just paid for and completed my urine drug screen and background check and will be getting several immunizations next week (MMR, TDP). My only complaint so far is that I would have liked a book list as soon as I paid the $500 commitment fee, so that I could have more then a couple weeks to look for deals on textbooks.
How are you paying for school? I am still waiting to see if I will receive any federal aid but did get accepted for a Discover student loan at a lower interest rate then PLUS loans. Let me know how you like the program and good luck!
- 0Aug 11, '13 by michelernibclcI'm considering applying to Georgetown for the next available covert, however the close of tuition scares me a bit.
- 0Aug 20, '13 by ChrisHahnRNJustin,
I have applied for the Sept start, but am still waiting to hear acceptance or denial.
The waiting is killing me.
What is the actual start date for Sept?
- 1Aug 25, '13 by canucks090You guys will likely find out soon, it's weird that they are waiting until now to tell you the decision because registration already started like two weeks ago so you may get the remaining openings for classes if you get in. I was told that if it takes longer to receive your decision then it may be a good sign. Hang in there
- 1Oct 15, '13 by davesbrideHi everyone. I just received my acceptance for January 2014 and I am super excited. How has the part time program been? How much study time on average are you putting in? I was thinking about switching to fulltime. Just a thought though. Any info would be so helpful! Thanks!

Apple Maps: Turning a Corner
Google is already offering something similar to this, but not as in-depth. WiFiSLAM is intent on changing the way we view and use mapping location services in areas that aren't as accurate as unobstructed areas, such as a park or major intersection.
Cook and Apple were serious when they said they were intent on improving Apple Maps to Apple's high standards. "Everything we do at Apple is aimed at making our products the best in the world," Cook wrote in the apology.
It seems as if all it cost Apple was some time, and roughly $20 million. Now let's see what Apple does with it.

Treehouse Labs BiKN radio-enabled smart case for iPhone lets you keep track of things that matter
Now, what if your iPhone case could tell you where your most important things are? That's exactly what the BiKN (pronounced "beacon") radio-enabled smart case for iPhone will do once it gets released this December.
The idea is simple - the case communicates with up to eight tags which you can easily attach to your most valued possessions. Think about keys, children, really just about anything of value. Then, an application visualizes their location precisely on the iPhone.
"In creating BiKN we asked, 'why can't your phone case protect more than just your phone?'. BiKN is essentially a wireless network for your stuff with both a head -- our smart case -- and a heart -- the myBiKN app," John Howard, CEO of Treehouse Labs said. "It's not just an alarm or a tether. BiKN enables your iPhone to keep up with your stuff and your stuff to page your phone. Even if it is dead or turned off."
The case itself will come in either black or white versions with six soft-touch, snap-on matte color highlights. Each of the tags also has a cap-protected microUSB port for easy charging and the battery status could be tracked via the app as well.
There are three modes of operation: "Find", "Leash" or "Page." If you choose to leash and page, an alarm will ring whenever one of those tagged items goes out of a predefined range.
All that sounds intriguing - we just wish we knew the price. We'll update you when more information becomes available, but in the meantime take a look at the technical details below and let us know what do you think about the BiKN smart case: do you need one?
- Made-for-iPhone-certified
- Functions as a wireless technology gateway
- Interfaces with WiFi, cellular & Bluetooth easily gathering 802.15.4 data
- Measures distances accurately regardless of signal strength (NXP Time of Flight Technology)
- Supports ZigBee, RF4CE and proprietary 802.15.4 protocols
- Supports industry standard software stacks— ZigBee PRO SE (Smart Energy, HA (Home Automation), Medical Profile and RF4CE
- Includes embedded 32-bit NXP JN5148 microcontroller - 128 KB of RAM and 4 MB of flash memory
- Powered by independent, rechargable lithium polymer batteries
- 300mAh Li-Polymer rechargeable battery allows the case to collect data while the phone is asleep or off; does not affect iPhone battery life
- Simultaneous syncs & charges case + iPhone through micro-USB port
- Piezo alarm sounds even if the iPhone is off or dead

Nearly half of adults with Cystic Fibrosis are infected by fungi
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
27 Jun 2014
A medical student from Manchester had made a major discovery which will help doctors diagnose and treat patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) while working with a University of Manchester led team at the University Hospital of South Manchester.
Jo Armstead spent hundreds of hours accessing data from 30 countries to discover that there are over 75,000 people with the genetic disorder, of whom half are over 18 years with 50 per cent infected by the fungus, Aspergillus.
She spent last summer holidays working with Professor Denning, Director of the NHS National Aspergillosis Centre and Professor of Infectious Diseases in Global Health in the Faculty's Institute of Inflammation and Repair, and the team at the University Hospital of South Manchester where what started out at a summer project has led to publication in a prestigious journal.
The student, who is in her third year at Newcastle University Medical School, said: "It has been really great to be involved in the first project of its kind ever done, with dramatic results and real opportunities for better health in young CF sufferers."
Professor Denning, explained: "The life expectancy of people with CF has been increasing, but aspergillosis has a major negative impact on many.
"By painstakingly crunching the numbers, Jo has helped us better understand the scale of the challenge which will lead to better diagnostics and treatment strategies. There will be many patients who over the coming years will be grateful to Jo and her work."
When she qualifies, Jo is considering a career in acute medicine with expedition medicine to combine her passions for the outdoors and travelling but, for the moment, she is studying hard for exams next month.
Registries for CF have been ongoing for years, but never before has the problem infection aspergillosis been accurately determined. The UK has the second highest number of adult CF sufferers (5,290), second only to the USA (13,657).
Aspergillosis causes the airway infection, bronchitis, and allergy, known as ABPA, which starts in childhood and reaches a peak in late teenage years. Treatment involves antifungal therapy or oral steroids, but is not yet demonstrated to be very effective, with antifungal resistance emerging.
Notes for editors
Contact Susan Osborne, Director of Communications, The Goodwork Organisation on 07836 229208.
Jo Armstead's report can be found online "Multi-Country Estimate of Different Manifestations of Aspergillosis in Cystic Fibrosis".
ABPA (non-invasive)
This is a condition where a patient develops an allergy to the spores of the Aspergillus moulds. Predominantly it affects asthma patients, those with cystic fibrosis (CF) and patients with bronchiectasis. 1% to 5% of adult asthmatics might develop this at some time during their lives, whereas 5% to 10% of CF patients may be affected. Approximately 30% of all asthmatics suffer with severe (20%) or very severe (10%) asthma, and around 40% of both these groups are also sensitised to numerous different fungi – these patients have been grouped into a new category called Severe Asthma with Fungal Sensitisation or SAFS.
ABPA often presents with shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing. There may be pulmonary infiltrates, which do not respond to conventional antibiotics in asthma/CF sufferers. The symptoms are similar to those of asthma: intermittent episodes of feeling unwell, coughing and wheezing. Some patients cough up brown-coloured plugs of mucus. The diagnosis can be made by chest X-ray along with sputum, skin and blood tests. An elevated total serum IgE, together with evidence of Aspergillus sensitisation as seen by either the presence of Aspergillus antibodies, or identification from respiratory fluid, is a positive indication. Lung infiltrates are often seen on X-ray or CT scan. In the long term ABPA can lead to permanent lung damage (fibrosis) if left untreated.
Oral, long-term, high-dose steroids are the usual method of management and the condition responds well to glucocorticoids. Inhaled steroids are ineffective. Itraconazole (an antifungal drug) has been shown to be of benefit when used in conjunction with steroids and longer term it may reduce the dosage of steroids required for ABPA treatment.
The National Aspergillosis Centre is the UK's referral clinic for patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and related conditions. It was established 5 years ago and is housed at the University Hospital of South Manchester and funded through the National Health Service Specialised Services.
The Aspergillus Website was set up in 1998 by the Fungal Infection Trust. It is the most comprehensive source of information about Aspergillus and the diseases it causes available on the Internet. An estimated 75,000 distinct IP addresses log on monthly and over 200,000 other websites link to the Aspergillus Website. Well over 70% of users in any month are new visitors from over 125 countries. Over 1,000 patients are currently registered with the support discussion group on Yahoo! with another 150 on Facebook with 280 LinkedIn members (Aspergillus and Aspergillosis Group)

New Life in the Neighborhood: How Persons with Retardation Or Other Disabilities Can Help Make a Good Community Better
Abingdon, 1980 - Medical - 77 pages
Robert Perske convincingly demonstrates that persons with retardation or other disabilities are capable of functioning in the mainstream of community life. He specifically approaches the issue of those persons moving into otherwise 'average' neighborhoods. With insight and compassion, he shows how their presence in these neighborhoods can be a uniquely positive experience. Martha Perske's sensitive drawings add to this timely book's warm and human appeal.

East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - Andre Iguodala hit a key basket in crunch time and ended with a team-high 14 points with nine rebounds, helping the Philadelphia 76ers pull out an 83-79 victory over New Jersey.
While Philadelphia picked up win No. 16 in their 47th game, the Nets fell to a miserable 4-42, on pace to challenge the NBA's infamous futility mark of 9-73 set by the 1972-73 Sixers.
Samuel Dalembert had 12 points and 11 rebounds, while Lou Williams and Allen Iverson each added 11 points for the Sixers, who snapped a three-game skid despite connecting on 3-of-19 from the field in the fourth quarter.
Brook Lopez donated 18 points and nine rebounds in the loss, New Jersey's second straight since stopping an 11-game slide on Wednesday. Yi Jianlian had 15 and 12, while Jarvis Hayes netted 18 points off the bench in defeat.
"There's no moral victories. We played hard but we still got a [loss]," a frustrated Hayes said.
Hayes' three-pointer in the corner brought the Nets within 76-74 before Iguodala drained an 18-footer for a four-point game with 1:32 left in regulation.
Iverson made two free throws with 33.1 seconds on the clock, and Yi drained a three for an 80-77 game prior to Elton Brand missing a pair at the stripe.
The Nets went for the tie rather than a quick deuce, and Hayes' contested three failed to draw iron. Thaddeus Young grabbed the rebound and hit two foul shots to seal the lackluster win with eight seconds remaining.
"All I care about is winning. If we only won by one point I'll take it," Iverson said. "At this point we'll take anything."
The Sixers were down 25-22 after 12 minutes and trailed throughout the second stanza, though Rodney Carney's late three cut the margin to 48-46 at halftime.
The Nets scored a meager 12 points in the third frame, as Iverson's two free throw capped a 15-4 run to end the quarter with a 69-60 lead.

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at Stanford University. My research interests are primarily in the fields of comparative politics and international relations and include corruption, social norms, and political culture.
My dissertation employs a combination of statistical analysis, agent-based modeling and behavioral experiments to examine why people often participate in corrupt transactions even though they themselves regard such behavior as morally dubious, as well as why individuals often tolerate corrupt behavior on the part of others.
I received a J.D. from Stanford Law School in 2011 and I expect to complete my degree in Political Science in 2013/2014. From January until June 2013, I was a visiting student at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.

The Senate's top Republican said lawmakers are considering combining a transportation measure with a one-year freeze in student loan interest rates.
"Those two could end up together," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, told reporters today. "Both need to be dealt with this week."
Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Senate's No. 2 Republican, said earlier today in an interview that a deal on a combination measure may come as soon as today, although he and other lawmakers wouldn't disclose how the $5.9 billion cost of the one-year rate freeze would be covered.
Unless Congress acts, student loan interest rates will double to 6.8 percent on July 1. Current funding for highway programs expires at the end of June.
Republicans and Democrats want to freeze rates for a year. The question has been how to cover the cost, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said today that a tentative agreement had been reached on that front.
"There's a general feeling that we've worked out a compromise on that that's acceptable," Reid said without offering details.
Combined Measure
A deal on a combined student loan and highway measure may hinge on lawmakers reaching agreement on a multiyear highway bill. Highway programs have been operating on a series of short- term extensions, and lawmakers have said they would consider another extension as a last resort to prevent highway programs from lapsing.
"Until we get everything done, nothing's done," Reid told reporters today following a closed-door caucus lunch, adding that "over the last 24 hours, a lot of progress has been made."
There are three possible budgetary offsets for a highway and student loan bill, said a Senate Republican aide, who requested anonymity to discuss the still-forming agreement.
They are higher fees payable to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, changes to corporate pension funding requirements to reduce payments and increase taxable income, and changes to a government subsidy of student loan interest to borrowers who are still in school.
Previously Discussed
All of those items have been previously discussed by lawmakers working on the two measures.
Reid said today the odds were "better than 50-50" that lawmakers would avoid another short-term highway extension. He told reporters a deal was needed by tomorrow to give lawmakers enough time to meet their end-of-the-month deadline.
In the House, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, told reporters that negotiators were "very close to an understanding on student loans" and may vote June 29 on that proposal and on a highway measure.

Website chat is viewed by many dealers to be an alternative method of communication, as it should be. There are some who view it as a lead generation tool and they can look at numbers to show that they're getting more leads, but to truly test their results that must take a closer look.

One of the most disturbing trends we're seeing on dealer websites is when they use chat areas as another contact form. It's true that chat is a way to generate leads, but when collecting contact information is the primary goal, the whole point of chat is missed.

December 22, 2014
HOUSTON (AP) - Houston's Rex Grossman is expected to miss about a month with a hamstring injury and the Texans are looking to sign another quarterback to fill in until he's healthy.
Grossman, Houston's third quarterback and the former Bears starter, was injured in Saturday's win over the Chiefs and coach Gary Kubiak says he doesn't feel comfortable finishing the preseason with only Matt Schaub and backup Dan Orlovsky.
Kubiak says the Texans could bring back Alex Brink, who was with the team last season.
Also injured Saturday were safety Troy Nolan, a rookie seventh-round pick, who will have surgery to repair a broken hand on Monday and fullback Boomer Grigsby who is expected to be out six weeks with a high ankle sprain.

Some therapists still recommend a technique called "thought stopping". This is quite unfortunate since thought-stopping leads to thought rebounding. The research by Wegner at Harvard on "white bears and other unwanted thoughts" shows that trying not to think of a thought leads to the thought persisting later. In a recent review of strategies that people use, Yale psychologists Ameli Aldao and Susan Nolen-Hoeksema found that suppression strategies for thoughts and emotions are associated with greater anxiety and depression, whereas other strategies (such as problem-solving, acceptance and cognitive restructuring) are associated with less anxiety.
"Thought-stopping,"is a now discarded behavioral technique that involves getting rid of negative or unwanted thoughts by suppressing them. Thus, whenever you have the worry that you will lose all your money in the stock market, you are encouraged to force yourself to stop having these thoughts by snapping a rubber band on your wrist (to distract you) or just yelling to yourself, "Stop." This is supposed to reduce your worries. Unfortunately, thought stopping not only does not work, it actually leads to "thought-rebounding" and makes things worse in the long term.

Scripting - page 2
Hey everyone! The most recent garbage to come out of my mailbox at work was a script, with actual things that they want us to say when we answer a call, enter a room, etc. I wonder if others have encountered this, and what are... Read More
- 1Nov 6, '00 by buckboomerRepeat the script, sarcastically. Find ways to make it your own. Customer service, reflecting with clients, you want me to do ....? Share your neccesary tasks that you are responsible for, and present some or your problems to these same clients. "Therapeutic environment", What's that? Expectations, we in nursing need to lower our expectations so we are NOT disappointed. Lower the customer's expectation, too. Reality is a statement, by itself. Take a chance, you have job security! CIAO
- 0Nov 16, '03 by sbic56I'm reviving this old thread because I wonder if this practice is still being pushed by administrators in other places? Scripting is just part of this customer service plan at the hospital where I work. Along with that, we are now required to wear dept/title specific uniforms. We had to sign a contract saying we would comply with the new changes. If we did not conform, we could be expected to be dismissed. Also, we were informed that not all would like the new plan and we were welcome to find other jobs if we were not happy and they would understand. It is sad, because it was a nice place to work, we have always given great care and now this crap. I just don't get it. Nobody is impressed and morale is going to pot, but no one wants to say too much because of the contract we all signed. Anyone else experience this "plan" where they work?Last edit by sbic56 on Nov 16, '03
