Dharma Quote of the Week
The real source of my suffering is self-centeredness: my car, my possession, my well-being. Without the self-centeredness, the suffering would not arise. What would happen instead? It is important to imagine this fully and to focus on examples of your own. Think of some misfortune that makes you want to lash out, that gives rise to anger or misery. Then imagine how you might respond without suffering. Recognize that we need not experience the misery, let alone the anger, resentment, and hostility. The choice is ours.
Let's continue with an example. You see that there is a dent in the car. What needs to be done? Get the other driver's license number, notify the police, contact the insurance agency, deal with all the details. Simply do it and accept it. Accept it gladly as a way to strengthen your mind further, to develop patience and the armor of forbearance. There is no way to become a Buddha and remain a vulnerable wimp.
Patience does not suddenly appear as a bonus after full enlightenment. Part of the whole process of awakening is to develop greater forbearance and equanimity in adversity. Santideva, in the sixth chapter of his Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life, eloquently points out that there is no way to develop patience without encountering adversity, and patience is indispensable for our own growth on the path to awakening. (p.66)

CHL finals: Denver Cutthroats fall to Allen Americans in Game 5
Game 5 of the Central Hockey League finals was a microcosm for the entire series.
Trailing three games to one, the Denver Cutthroats struck first, but couldn't hold on as an avalanche of goals by the Allen Americans in the second period paved the way for Allen's second consecutive Ray Miron President's Cup Championship in a 5-2 victory Saturday in Allen, Texas.
The Cutthroats — reeling from three straight defeats — got a Kyle Fletcher power-play goal to take a 1-0 lead into the first intermission. But once Allen tied the score in the second period, the wheels came off and the Americans scored three more times in the period to leave no doubt that they would clinch the series on home ice.

A newborn baby can look healthy but have a serious disorder that cannot be seen. If not treated, these disorders can lead to slow growth, blindness, brain damage, or possibly death. Early treatment can help prevent these serious problems. This is why in Wisconsin babies are tested right after birth for rare disorders.
Wisconsin law requires that all babies have the newborn screening done before they leave the hospital. Babies born at home must be tested within a week of birth.

Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo has been suspended without pay for 10 games for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy, the league announced Thursday.Of course Mayo is going with the standard "over-the-counter supplement honest mistake" excuse. Yes O.J, and you didn't get any money from anyone at USC either. No truth to the rumor the supplement came from T.A's fists when he jammed them down Mayo's throat a few weeks ago. JR 1/27/2011 05:44:00 PM Tweet Edit
The league said Mayo tested positive for dehydroepiandrosterone, which is a steroid precursor known as DHEA.
7 Responses so far.
Bohemian says:
Interesting that they test Mayo, who plays in such a boring and not hyped market as Memphis. It would be interesting if they tested Howard or Lebron, don't you think? ;)
In any case, it seems Mayo is really spoiling his reputation this season...
JR says:
As part of the NBA's agreement with ESPN they're not allowed to test Lebron. ;) Remember your article that got all the Lebron apologists all riled up?
Jenda says:
I never thought they tested for those things in NBA. Well, yet another proof he ain't no Bron or that manchild from Orlando. Or maybe the initials of the lesser known Simpson do him no good. lol
Bohemian says:
I remember ;)
Jesse Dampolo says:
And TA still knocked him around.

I tried like 7 times to figure out how to make this title only 1 line, but no luck. Frustrating.

Pre-eclampsia and Pregnancy-induced Hypertension
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Pregnant women occasionally experience an increase in blood pressure known as gestational hypertension or pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). In a more severe condition called pre-eclampsia, a rise in blood pressure is accompanied by protein in the urine and sometimes by sudden weight gain, swelling in the face or hands, and other symptoms. When left untreated, pre-eclampsia can lead to seizures (called eclampsia) or liver, kidney, or bleeding problems in the mother and distress or delayed growth in the fetus. Unless pre-eclampsia is mild, doctors usually seek to deliver the baby early.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Although there are no fully established natural treatments for the prevention of pre-eclampsia or PIH, calcium has shown significant promise.
A meta-analysis (statistical review) of 11 studies of calcium supplementation in pregnancy, involving a total of more than 6,000 women, found that calcium slightly reduced the risk of pre-eclampsia and hypertension, particularly in two groups of women: those at high risk for hypertension and/or those with low calcium intakes.1
However, by far the largest single study in the meta-analysis found no benefits.2 In this double-blind study, researchers gave either 2 g of calcium or placebo daily to 4,589 women from weeks 13 to 21 of their pregnancy onward. In the end, researchers found no significant decreases in rates of hypertension or pre-eclampsia—not even when they looked specifically at women whose daily calcium consumption mirrored that of women in developing countries.
The meta-analysis included this negative study in its calculations, but still found that calcium seemed to be helpful.
In a subsequent double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in 2006 and conducted by the World Health Organization, calcium supplements (1.5 g per day) were tried in 8,325 pregnant women whose calcium intake was inadequate.28 Calcium failed to reduce the incidence of pre-eclampsia. However, it did appear to reduce the severity of pre-eclampsia episodes.
The bottom line: Calcium might be of some benefit for those pregnant women who are at high risk for hypertension or deficient in calcium. However, for well-nourished, low-risk women, effects are likely to be minimal or nil.
All of the above refers to preventing pre-eclampsia. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests that calcium supplements are not effective for treating pre-eclampsia that has already developed.3
Note: Calcium appears to offer the additional benefit of reducing blood levels of lead during pregnancy.4
Interestingly, weak evidence hints that use of calcium by pregnant mothers might reduce risk of hypertension in their children.33
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Calcium article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Antioxidants are substances that fight free radicals, dangerous naturally occurring molecules that may play a role in pre-eclampsia. For various theoretical reasons, it has been proposed that use of antioxidants by pregnant women may help stop pre-eclampsia from developing. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study found evidence that a combination of the antioxidant vitamin E (400 IU daily) and vitamin C (1,000 mg daily) reduced incidence of pre-eclampsia.5 Benefits were also seen in another study of this combination,25 as well as a study using a mixture of numerous antioxidants along with other nutrients.32 Additionally, a double-blind trial found potential preventive effects with the antioxidant substance lycopene (taken at 2 mg twice daily).21 However, researchers caution that further study is necessary: Many other treatments have shown initial promise for preventing pre-eclampsia, but lost luster when subsequent studies were performed.
The most prominent of these once-promising substances include folate, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil), and zinc.7-17,22,24 Furthermore, a large follow-up study of vitamin E combined with vitamin C failed to find any benefit,29 and in a review of 10 studies involving a total of 6,533 subjects, antioxidant supplementation (of mostly vitamins E and C) during pregnancy did not reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia or any of its complications.34 In addition, a high-quality randomized trial of 1,365 high-risk pregnant women found that daily supplementation with combination vitamin E (400 IU) and vitamin C (1,000 mg) through delivery was not associated with reduced risk of pre-eclampsia or other serious outcomes.35
One study involving 235 pregnant women in Ecuador (average age 17.5 ) suggests that daily supplementation with 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 during the second half of pregnancy may reduce the risk of developing preeclampsia.36 Though promising, the reliability of these results is in question because of low compliance with the supplements.
Results are mixed, yet somewhat positive on the potential benefits of arginine for treatments of pre-eclampsia.26,27,30,37 In one study, 672 pregnant women at high-risk for pre-eclampsia were randomized to receive one of three treatments: arginine plus antioxidants, antioxidants alone, or placebo.37 The women were followed until they gave birth. Those taking arginine plus antioxidants were at a lower risk of developing pre-eclampsia compared to the other two groups.
Evening primrose oil has failed to prove helpful,20 as has a combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, and the drug allopurinol.6 However, magnesium, taken by injection but not orally, appears to provide meaningful benefits.18,19,23
One study failed to find N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) helpful for severe pre-eclampsia.31

Just yum! One of the tastiest dishes I have made recently. Adapted from Closet Cooking, I used gigantes beans instead of the cod that Kevin's recipe called for. Such a perfect spring meal, and how can I resist the excellent sheep milk Feta cheese and beautiful colossal Kalamata olives from the Perfect Bakery, located at 116 Hamilton Road here in London, Ontario. They have the best olives and Feta in the city. It's also a pleasure to grow fresh herbs outside too that are an ideal addition to meals. You must try this creation. Nourishing and creative, you can't go wrong with this dish. Your carnivorous friends won't miss the meat at all.

I know I need two loops, one for the array of <id>s and one for the array of <sundayData>, but how do I relate the two for each given <id>? I am tearing my hair out. Any help would be most appreciated. (note: XML and sample code removed)
You are close! I think the crucial piece of information that you are missing, which is understandable because it's not there when you output XML data, is that all ColdFusion XML element nodes have a property - XmlParent - which allows you to walk back up the ColdFusion XML tree from any given node. Once you have a handle on any node, such as <id>, you can easily walk up to it's parent and then back down to one of its siblings. That is the technique that I am using below to create the ID-based associative array:
- <!--- Create XML data. --->
- <cfxml variable="xmlData">
- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <mainDocument>
- <informationTableData>
- <id>0001393825</id>
- <saleDataInfo>
- <sundayData>
- <saleDate>2008-10-26</saleDate>
- <saleDataList>
- <nameOfCompany>Acme Explosives</nameOfCompany>
- <start>N/A</start>
- <sold>0</sold>
- <end>N/A</end>

- <saleDataList>
- <nameOfCompany>Beavis Inc.</nameOfCompany>
- <start>100</start>
- <sold>25</sold>
- <end>75</end>
- </saleDataList>
- </sundayData>
- </saleDataInfo>
- </informationTableData>
- <informationTableData>
- <id>2221393333</id>
- <saleDataInfo>
- <sundayData>
- <saleDate>2008-10-26</saleDate>
- <saleDataList>
- <nameOfCompany>Hot Fusion</nameOfCompany>

- </saleDataList>
- <saleDataList>
- <nameOfCompany>Smith Cousins</nameOfCompany>
- <start>150</start>
- <sold>50</sold>
- <end>100</end>
- </saleDataList>
- </sundayData>
- </saleDataInfo>
- </informationTableData>
- </mainDocument>
- </cfxml>
- <!---
- Create a struct in which the ID values of the above XML
- document will be the keys (to which the sundayData will
- be associated).
- --->
- <cfset objID = {} />
- <!---
- Now, let's get all of the ID fields (that have a sibling
- sundayData node). For this demo, we are going to assume
- that is a requirement:
- Check for sibling node "saleDataInfo" with "sundayData":
- ../saleDataInfo/sundayData
- --->
- <cfset arrIDNodes = XmlSearch(
- xmlData,
- "//informationTableData/id[ ../saleDataInfo/sundayData ]"
- ) />
- <!--- Loop over ID nodes to add them to our index object. --->
- <cfloop
- index="xmlIDNode"
- array="#arrIDNodes#">
- <!---
- Create an ID-based index that points to the
- sundayData node. We can easily get the ID from the
- current node; but, to get the sundayData node, we
- have to walk the tree a bit - go up to parent node,
- then back down through saleDataInfo to get to the
- taret sundayData node.
- --->
- <cfset objID[ xmlIDNode.XmlText ] =
- xmlIDNode.XmlParent.saleDataInfo[ 1 ].sundayData[ 1 ]
- />
- </cfloop>
- <!--- Output our final ID index. --->
- <cfdump
- var="#objID#"
- label="ID-Based Index Of sundayData"
- />
For this demo, I am only getting ID nodes that I know have an associated sundayData node. To enforce this, I am using the following predicate:
id[ ../saleDataInfo/sundayData ]
I just did this for fun. If you know that sundayData will always be there, this predicate is completely unnecessary; but, if sundayData is not always there, this predicate will prevent you from collecting ID nodes that won't have an associated sundayData node.
Because of our ability to walk the XML tree in both directions, we only need to gather the ID nodes and then loop over them. Once we have our ID node reference, we can easily walk the tree to get the associated sundayData node:
- xmlIDNode.XmlParent.saleDataInfo[ 1 ].sundayData[ 1 ]
Once we get the XmlParent reference, we can use ColdFusion's pseudo XML node collection notation to grab the sibling element, saleDataInfo, and then its child element, sundayData.
If you didn't want to use the pseudo collection notation, you could always perform another XmlSearch() on the ID node itself:
- XmlSearch(
- xmlIDNode,
- "../saleDataInfo/sundayData"
- )
This would return a single-item array of sundayData nodes (from which you would need to grab the first element).
When we run the above code, we get the following CFDump output:
As you can see, the ID values from our XML tree act as the Keys in our index object. The value of each index is the associated sundayData node. Hope that helps!
Reader Comments
Thanks so much Ben! Sometimes I have a hard time visualizing the structure I need to get ColdFusion and Xml to play nice.
I had to change some of the code to get it to work with CF7 (like looping over the array). But the muddy waters are starting to clear a bit.
Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.
No problem my man. Glad to help out.
I am still having trouble. Is the resulting object treated as xml or as a structure? I can't seem to extract the data from the object to build coldfusion queries like you showed at:
I am doing something similar to what you described in the above entry.
When I only had one <id> in the xml document I did this after setting the query:
<cfset sundayItems = ArrayLen(xmlData.mainDocument.informationTableData.saleDataInfo.sundayData.XmlChildren) - 1>
<cfloop index="i" from = "1" to = #sundayItems#>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(SundayQuery,"nameOfCompany", #xmlData.mainDocument.informationTableData.saleDataInfo.sundayData.saleDataList[i].
nameOfCompany.XmlText#, #i#)>
But I'm having trouble doing the same with the objID created in your code above.
The objID created is an ID-based structure. Take a look at the CFDump output in the post; the ID is the key used to look up the sunday data.
Ok Ben, your Sainthood is in the works for your patience.
My confusion lay in the fact that when looping over the structure, the key id output to the browser as a string. Only after viewing the source did I see that all the xml tags were part of the output as well.
I think I got it though. The way I did it doesn't seem elegant to me but it seems to work. (Note that the second cfloop has a hard coded "to" for now.)
<cfset qSunday = QueryNew("ID, nameOfCompany","varchar, varchar" ) />
<cfloop collection="#objID#" item="ID">
<cfxml variable="sundayXML">#objID[ID]#</cfxml>
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="2">
<cfset QueryAddRow( qCustomer ) />
<cfset qSunday[ "ID" ][ qSunday.RecordCount ] = JavaCast("string", #ID#
) />
<cfset qSunday[ "nameOfCompany" ][ qSunday.RecordCount ] = JavaCast(
) />
Despite the fact that it works for me, if you could let me know if I did this in an absurdly roundabout way, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again.
No problem; I think your confusion lies in the fact that you don't know that part of an XML document can exist on its own, outsize of the root reference.
If you look at the CFDump in my post, you'll notice that the "SundayData" that I stored in the ID-based struct is *actually* a sub-tree of the original XML document. That is to say, the sundayData node I stored in the struct is actually an XML node.
Because of this fact, this line that you have:
<cfxml variable="sundayXML">#objID[ID]#</cfxml>
... is completely redundant. You are taking an existing XML sub-tree and then turning it into a different XML document (sundayXML).
The disconnect that you are having is that you don't realize that you can simply refer to the stored sub-tree as XML already. So, for example, to get the company info, you can simply refer to:
Does that make sense?
Yes, that makes complete sense. I stared at for a couple of hours late last night and I came to that same conclusion about needlessly creating another xml document.
I also have to get a handle on walking the tree. I think that once I wrap my head around that things will be a bit easier as well.
Your help is much appreciated.
Tell your boss I said you can have the rest of the day off.
Ha ha, no problem. Working with XML is odd at first, but you just have to get used to the structure. It's really just a combination of arrays and structures that you're used to working with. Just takes practice.
Hit me up if you have any more questions.

The Vegetarian Option: Trenchermen
Reviews of vegetarian dishes.
By the end of a recent meal at Trenchermen, the Wicker Park restaurant co-helmed by brother chefs Michael and Patrick Sheerin, I began to see the menu as a kind of urgent food telegram. Each item is summed up with a series of stark, economical nouns. To wit: Japanese sweet potatoes ($10), miso cream, radishes, beer vinegar. The commas may as well be full stops. The chefs have adopted a style (one that perhaps harkens back to Michael's days at Blackbird) in which the complementary and contrasting components of a dish aren't incorporated together so much as they are gathered into coexistence. It lends their food a surprising clarity. It also makes it really fun to eat. Flavors get together right on the palate like actors staging daring improv.
Back to those sweet potatoes, which are one of couple dynamic, thoughtful veggie-friendly dishes on the current menu (with a name like Trenchermen—aka corpulent, hearty eaters—you might think the restaurant specialized in meaty gut bombs; not so). Cut into rough cubes like hash browns, the potatoes sport a shriveled, deeply caramelized exterior yet are not at all overly sweet. Their texture fluctuates between crisp and leathery (in the best possible way), with a center that's oven-roasted chewy. The concavity of the bowl comes coated in the light, tangy miso cream, and paper-thin slices of crunchy, fresh radish mingle among autumn-hued greenery. The color palette is handsome, but it takes building a forkful of all the dish's discrete components to really experience its beauty.
The kale ($11) with edamame dressing, eschabeche, and carrot quinoa bread came together with somewhat less success than the sweet potatoes, but nevertheless delivered some seductive flavors. The bright acidity of the pickled-vegetable "eschabeche" nicely cut against the earthiness of the kale. I wish the volume had been turned up a bit on the mild edamame dressing. But here's hoping the Sheerins don't change a thing about the intriguing carrot quinoa bread, which you discover after poking around amongst the pile of kale. It has the creamy sweetness and fluffy texture of banana bread, but a nutty vegetal flavor. And it was just the kind of unexpected twist that made me excited to revisit Trenchermen in the future to see what else the Sheerins might do with vegetables next.

Technogym, Cesena, Italy, has made several moves to consolidate its manufacturing operations, including consolidating its manufacturing facilities throughout Italy into one 37-acre facility in Cesena, Italy, and moving its U.S. headquarters from Seattle to Fairfield, NJ, closer to its logistic hub in York, PA.
The U.S. move was made to shrink time to market and increase localization in the United States. The Fairfield location houses offices, a showroom, a wellness center for employees, a training center and a quality assurance lab.
The new Italian headquarters opened in September with a ceremony that was attended by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.
At the opening, Nerio Alessandri, founder of Technogym, spoke about how he started the company as a wellness company and said he hoped the area surrounding the headquarters will become the Wellness Valley, with 25,000 people per year coming through the campus to see the wellness initiatives the company is creating.
"This is not meant to be just a factory," Alessandri said through an interpreter. "It is a wellness experience."
The Cesena campus houses the offices, a research and innovation center, and a wellness center that includes a gym for employees, a conference center, a library and a staff restaurant that serves locally grown food.
The north-facing building exploits natural heat exchange to keep the interior warm in the winter and cool in summer months, reducing emissions from fuel consumption for heating and air conditioning systems. Large windows in the facility can be opened, exploiting natural recirculation of air to cool the interior without the need for air conditioning systems.
On the day of the opening, Technogym also hosted its first Wellness Congress with a keynote address by former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Communications Skills Are Too Worthy
The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others clearly and unambiguously. Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And it's a process that can be fraught with error, with messages often misinterpreted by the recipient. When this isn't detected, it can cause tremendous confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity. In fact, communication is only successful when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information as a result of the communication.
In a recent survey of recruiters from companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh's Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success.
In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively – whether in verbal or written format. This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression. Getting your message across is paramount to progressing. To do this, you must understand what your message is, what audience you are sending it to, and how it will be perceived. You must also weigh-in the circumstances surrounding your communications, such as situational and cultural context.
Communications Skills – The Importance of Removing Barriers
Communication barriers can pop-up at every stage of the communication process (which consists of sender, message, channel, receiver, feedback and context – see the diagram below) and have the potential to create misunderstanding and confusion.
To be an effective communicator and to get your point across without misunderstanding and confusion, your goal should be to lessen the frequency of these barriers at each stage of this process with clear, concise, accurate, well-planned communications. We follow the process through below:
As the source of the message, you need to be clear about why you're communicating, and what you want to communicate. You also need to be confident that the information you're communicating is useful and accurate.
The message is the information that you want to communicate.
This is the process of transferring the information you want to communicate into a form that can be sent and correctly decoded at the other end. Your success in encoding depends partly on your ability to convey information clearly and simply, but also on your ability to anticipate and eliminate sources of confusion (for example, cultural issues, mistaken assumptions, and missing information.) A key part of this is knowing your audience: Failure to understand who you are communicating with will result in delivering messages that are misunderstood.
Messages are conveyed through channels, with verbal including face-to-face meetings, telephone and videoconferencing; and written including letters, emails, memos, and reports.
Different channels have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, it's not particularly effective to give a long list of directions verbally, while you'll quickly cause problems if you criticize someone strongly by email.
Just as successful encoding is a skill, so is successful decoding (involving, for example, taking the time to read a message carefully, or listen actively to it.) Just as confusion can arise from errors in encoding, it can also arise from decoding errors. This is particularly the case if the decoder doesn't have enough knowledge to understand the message.
Your message is delivered to individual members of your audience. No doubt, you have in mind the actions or reactions you hope your message will get from this audience. Keep in mind, though, that each of these individuals enters into the communication process with ideas and feelings that will undoubtedly influence their understanding of your message, and their response. To be a successful communicator, you should consider these before delivering your message, and act appropriately.
Your audience will provide you with feedback, verbal and nonverbal reactions to your communicated message. Pay close attention to this feedback, as it is the only thing that allows you to be confident that your audience has understood your message. If you find that there has been a misunderstanding, at least you have the opportunity to send the message a second time.
The situation in which your message is delivered is the context. This may include the surrounding environment or broader culture (corporate culture, international cultures, and so on).
Removing Barriers at All These Stages
To deliver your messages effectively, you must commit to breaking down the barriers that exist in each of these stages of the communication process.
Once you understand this, you need to work to understand your audience's culture, making sure you can converse and deliver your message to people of different backgrounds and cultures within your own organization, in this country and even abroad.

Life Income Gifts
Continue the Legacy: Give and Receive Income
Dr. Joyce and Dr. Gary McKay wanted to make their gift in honor of Harold and Birdie Mosak, and the impact the Mosaks made on their personal lives as well their professions. They decided to continue the legacy of "educating for change" by creating an endowed fund to benefit to the Harold & Birdie Mosak Library campaign through a life-income gift.
A life-income gift is a gift plan for people who have the desire to give, but still want to retain cash flow. The most common forms of this gift are a charitable gift annuity and a charitable remainder trust, both of which have tax advantages.
Benefits of Life Income Gifts include:
- Secure, fixed payments for life
- A portion of your payments may be nontaxable
- Charitable income tax deduction for a portion of the gift
- Reduced capital gains taxes

text: Patrick Sweeney - September 24, 2010 Tactical Impact Premieres This Week Oct. 2008 By Press Release New York, NY (September 29, 2008)-- InterMedia Outdoors, Inc. (IMO), the industry leader and largest provider of content targeted to American sportsmen, announced today the rollout of TACTICAL IMPACT that takes viewers beyond the traditional gear and how-to shows and captures a fresh and unique perspective on outdoor programming. This ground-breaking show, which is produced by IMO's television production unit, debuts this week on The Sportsman Channel (TSC), Fox Sports Net South, Wild TV and Pursuit networks. IMO is the parent company of The Sportsman Channel Unlike traditional shooting shows that focus on gun reviews, features and interviews, TACTICAL IMPACT and hosts Larry Vickers and Aaron Roberts look through the eyes of the guys who have been there to tell intriguing stories about the guns that have changed our world."Our traditional strength in television has been gear evaluation and how-to shows, which will continue to be the backbone of our programming line-up. However, as leaders in our industry, we aren't afraid to try new things and explore programming from different perspectives. This show breaks with the traditional model and takes outdoor programming to a new and more engaging level," said IMO's Executive Vice President of Television and Digital Media Willy Burkhardt. "We believe this show will strike a chord with our audience and attract new viewers." "We found that many gun shows were static and formulaic. With TACTICAL IMPACT, we have broken out of this mold and focused on powerful story-telling and high-end production values," said Burkhardt. "Our hosts Larry Vickers and Aaron Robinson are two of the most highly regarded shooters and trainers around and they are central to bringing the show's stories and tales to life." From clearing a house to repelling a mass attack, each episode of TACTICAL IMPACT examines a real-life tactical problem and the arms, accessories and tactics needed to prevail. Unlike traditional shooting shows that focus on gun reviews, features and interviews, TACTICAL IMPACT and hosts Larry Vickers and Aaron Roberts look through the eyes of the guys who have been there to tell intriguing stories about the guns that have changed our world. The show airs Mondays at midnight., Thursdays at 11:30 a.m., and Saturdays at 10 p.m. on TSC. The show also runs on Fox Sports South, WILD TV, and Pursuit networks."We are covering things and telling stories that have never seen the light of day, and have never been discussed outside of combat marksmanship training classes," said Vickers. "The stories, whose subjects range from law enforcement to military to civilian, are a unique blend of guns, tactics, and history lessons. This isn't your traditional gun show." "On TACTICAL IMPACT, we look at the life of guns-the birth, changes, successes and failures of the weapon-and how historical events and tactics have shaped the gun's evolution. Just as people evolve and grow through life's trials and tribulations, so does a gun," said co-host Aaron Roberts. "This show explores historical events; not through a person's perspective, but through the gun's perspective." GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Addiction as a 'Brain Disease'
We become addicted to a substance or activity for the same reason that we initially try it: Because we like the way it makes us feel. And although some people may try a drug, take a drink or eat a donut and never become hooked, almost all of us have the capability to become addicted. Users cross a threshold and undergo a transition to addiction.
Research has shone light on the changes that take place in the brain after this transition, developing the "brain disease" model of addiction. It's currently the most widely held view of addiction among the scientific community.
The way we learn to survive is based on a reward system. When we do something that aids in our survival, like eating or exercising, our brain's limbic system rewards us for this behavior by releasing dopamine, a chemical that makes us feel good. Since we like the way we feel, we learn to repeat the behavior.
Different substances approach the limbic system -- the reward center -- in our brains in different ways, but all substances of abuse cause the brain to release high levels of dopamine. This release can be two to 10 times the amount our brain releases normally, giving the user a sense of a "rush" or "high."
Because of this release and its impact on the brain's reward center, users learn very quickly to use a substance or engage in an activity. They learn this in the same way they learn to eat or exercise, but even faster and with more intensity, since the release of dopamine is so much larger. Since the amount of dopamine released is abnormal, the brain struggles to regain its normal chemical balance after a substance wears off. This produces a hangover, or withdrawal, from a substance, which can manifest in physical pain, depression and even dangerous behavior.
Over time, prolonged use of a substance can lead the brain to stop producing as much dopamine as it naturally does. This creates further withdrawal, leading to a physical dependency -- the addict needs to use more of the substance just to feel normal, creating a vicious cycle that can be difficult to break.
Because of this learning process and eventual physical dependence on a substance, the substance user becomes a substance abuser. As a result, the abuser loses control over the act of taking a substance or engaging in an activity. This has led to the idea that in order to cure an addiction, abstinence -- total discontinuation of substance use or behavior -- is necessary.
Under the disease model of addiction, the brain's motivational center becomes reorganized. The priorities are shuffled so that finding and using the substance (or another substance that will produce similar effects) becomes top priority as far as the brain is concerned. In this sense, the drug has essentially taken over the brain, and the addict is no longer in control of his behavior. An alcoholic won't, for example, have trouble deciding whether or not to get in his car and drive to the store to get more alcohol -- the urge will be irresistible.
But simply going to the store to buy alcohol is not a definitive sign of alcoholism. So how can you tell the difference between using a substance and being addicted to it? In the next section, we'll learn about the symptoms of addiction.

New Wave Energy Corp., a utility supplier based in Buffalo, has reached an agreement to be the sole provider of electricity to First Niagara Center, the home of the Buffalo Sabres, the partners announced Tuesday.
As part of the sponsorship deal, the Sabres will put New Wave's name on the penalty boxes at the arena and the team's power play will be branded with the company's name within the arena and on Sabres broadcasts.
The three-year agreement goes into effect with the start of the upcoming season, said Ryan Lilley, New Wave's vice president of business development, though the season is threatened by the NHL owners' lockout of the players.
New Wave takes the place of Integrys Energy Services of New York, which no longer will provide electricity to the First Niagara Center but remains a Sabres sponsor, said Michael Gilbert, a team spokesman.
New Wave is an energy services company, or ESCO, that was founded in 2009 and supplies electricity or natural gas to more than 3,000 residential and commercial customers.

Partner Anton Ticktin Comments on Leather-Chemicals M&A in Bloomberg
February 4, 2013 | Patrick Winters & Sheenagh Matthews
Clariant Exit Seen Ending Leather-Chemical M&A False Starts
Clariant AG (CLN)'s decision to sell its leather-chemicals business is poised to spark more deals in the $4 billion industry, potentially ending more than five years of false starts by BASF SE and others to consolidate.
Emboldened by Clariant's disposal announcement in November, creditors of Germany's TFL Ledertechnik are still holding out for an offer close to 200 million euros ($270 million) after receiving lower bids last year, people familiar with the situation said. A number of buyout firms are considering buying and merging the businesses, they said, asking not to be identified as the talks are private.
Europe's leather-chemicals industry — dominated by a handful of companies including Germany's Lanxess AG (LXS) and Dutch Stahl Holdings — has suffered as Asian rivals added capacity driven by local demand for luxury bags, shoes and upholstery. Clariant tried to sell its unit in 2008, and Lanxess and BASF SE (BAS) previously discussed combining their leather-chemicals assets, said the people.
"Clariant's disposal could be a source of momentum," said Bernd Schneider, a chemicals adviser at investment bank Lincoln International LLC. "In leather chemicals, someone has to make the first move. If there is movement with Clariant and maybe TFL, BASF could also hope for a sale."
Clariant's leather services business has 12 production sites and employs more than 700 people. The unit had sales of 265 million Swiss francs ($292 million) in 2011 and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of 25 million francs. Shares of the chemical maker were little changed at 12.68 francs as of 10:12 a.m. in Zurich today.
Fresh Impetus
TFL, the maker of tanning agents and dyestuffs for leather bags and shoes, is being sold on behalf of creditors seeking repayments on debt taken on during a decade of ownership by buyout-firm Odewald & Cie.
TFL, based in Weil am Rhein, Germany, spurned low offers from buyout firms in the second half of 2012, one of the people said. The sale of TFL, which stands for Together For Leather, is now progressing with mostly buyout firms vying for the asset, another person said. The company hired Leonardo & Co. in 2011 to find a buyer.
With Clariant's leather-chemicals unit also up for sale, private-equity firms are considering buying multiple assets and merging them to improve competitiveness, the people said.
BASF in 2011 said it failed to find a buyer for its leather-chemicals assets as offers fell short of its own valuation. The company at the time said it will retain the business after management improved its performance.
Stahl M&A
Clariant, based in Muttenz, Switzerland, has hired Greenhill & Co. (GHL) as an adviser on its sale process, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
Representatives for Clariant, TFL, Lanxess, BASF, Greenhill and Leonardo declined to comment.
Other potential buyers include European rivals. Stahl, owned by Paris-based buyout firm Wendel SA (MF), is looking at some smaller acquisition targets to bolster its performance coatings business. Of the six largest competitors in Stahl's industry, which together have more than 50 percent of the market, about three are for sale, Wendel board member Bernard Gautier said in December, adding that Stahl won't miss out on good acquisition opportunities if prices are attractive.
Lanxess, which has been in the leather-chemicals industry for almost 100 years, purchased Dow Chemical Co. (DOW)'s chromium ore operations in South Africa in 2006, and it remains the only supplier with the entire value chain from the chrome ore to the leather tanning materials.
Luxury Bags
The Leverkusen, Germany-based company, which supplies car manufacturers such as Volkswagen AG (VOW), is investing 40 million euros to expand chromium operations and will this year open a leather-chemicals plant in China.
Christian Faitz, a Macquarie analyst, said Lanxess already has the leather-chemicals assets it needs and therefore may refrain from taking part in the current sales.
"Lanxess is probably content with the position they have," he said. "I don't think they want any more assets. You can't afford to forget that it's a cyclical business."
As well as demand for luxury bags, shoes and upholstery, the leather-chemicals market is also tied to beef consumption and the availability of raw hides.
Manufacturers' needs for leather are also shifting, leading to new product developments. Lanxess markets its X-lite brand as capable of cutting the weight of premium leather destined for aircraft and luxury cars by as much as 30 percent.
Anton Ticktin, a partner at investment bank Valence Group, said that investors often don't realize that leather-chemicals assets can be more profitable than other businesses in the industry.
"One of the biggest factors is the money and margins you make are much better than you would be led to believe if you looked at textile chemicals," Ticktin said. "Look at the automotive sector and treatments for the nice leather seats in Mercedes cars. The margins can be pretty high, but buyers don't always attribute that."

When Facebook announced that it was acquiring photo-based social network Instagram for $1bn in April, the upstart had around 30m registered users and less than 1m daily active users.
Today, Instagram boasts more than 100m registered users and more than 11m daily active users.
Not surprisingly, that has given brands seeking to expand beyond social networking stalwarts like Facebook and Twitter to give Instagram a look. And they're not just looking: according to new research published by social analytics firm Simply Measured, brand adoption of Instagram has jumped by 35% since August and more than half of the Interbrand 100 are now active on the service.
Instagram's 35% growth in brand adoption in the past several months bests another hot social network, Pinterest, which posted a 24% gain in brand adoption. And it's significantly higher than that of Google+, which saw a 5% growth rate, just 1% more than a far more mature player, Twitter.
Thanks, Facebook!
A good chunk of Instagram's growth is likely attributable to tighter integration between the world's largest social network and its shiny new toy.
As Simply Measured points out, Instagram users can now automatically add likes on Instagram to their Facebook timelines, and as the firm observed, "more than 90% of Instagram photos posted by brands were also posted to Facebook." This, Simply Measured says, has driven Facebook engagements per Instagram photo up to 210.
The rich get richer
Not all brands jumping on the Instagram bandwagon are getting the same piece of the pie. Despite the staggering growth in Instagram's user base, just 8% of the brands on the service have more than 100,000 followers — the same percentage as in August.
This isn't necessarily surprising, of course. Currently, 49% of the Interbrand 100 have an active Instagram account (Simply Measured defines this as an account with at least one photo posted), up from 37% in August, but this is obviously still not cutting it and brands hoping to build a following on the social network will need to more than just show up.
The good news: there are a growing number of examples of brands making great use of Instagram, giving newcomers that want to boost their Instagram prospects a helpful starting point.

Kit at the Emmys
It breaks my heart a little at how adorably awkward Kit Harington looks in almost every photo from the Emmys last night. He seemed slightly more comfortable the day before at the BAFTA LA tea party in skinny khakis and a white shirt.
I try not to spend too much time thinking about Game of Thrones. It's maddening. Yes they've confirmed for a second season but I'm not even sure how deep into production they are considering the last I heard, which was 6 weeks ago, the writers were still trying to sort out the story, working on what to adapt from the dense source material. Given the amount of time it took to shoot Season1, is 7 months enough time? April is only 7 months away. April is when Season 1 premiered.
And, um, how can they possibly expect to film the entire series when it took something like 5 years or more for the 5th book to be written and there are still two more and this is suuuuuch an expensive project? HBO has already said that it doesn't know if they'll cover all of it. So when do they stop?
See? I try not to spend too much time thinking about Game of Thrones. I try not to spend too much time wondering when Jon Snow will get a sex scene and who will kill that little bitch incest child. Because for him there cannot be much of a future.
