When entering the gates of Fort Hayes High School you can tell—even before you meet its students—it's a different kind of environment. Slightly north of Downtown Columbus's conglomerate of skyscrapers and just south of Cleveland Ave's most parlous passage is the school's campus.
Passing the eminent Shot Tower and walking into the cafeteria, which if you make a sharp right turns into a studio just down the hall, I met with Dr. Tony Anderson and a group of students he considers his musical enterprise. Together they call themselves The Paragon Project, and while they share the same institution of learning, they're no high school band.
Comprised of bass guitarists, spoken word poets, and everything in between, The Paragon is a collection of the school's most talented musicians looking for much more than a jam session. Over the past year they've successfully recorded the first volume of what they describe as an "audio publication," and it sounds more like a Broadway soundtrack than anything recorded just steps away from a high school cafeteria.
"These kids are so artistic, eclectic, insightful, and talented that it makes it so much easier to have an idea—for them to have an idea and then put it together and make something really special," Dr. Anderson says. "We're professional enough to get you to a place where you're satisfied, and we're satisfied. They do come in with a stronger understanding of what they want; I think the difference is we can help them better execute than they could on their own."
Dr. Anderson is the Vice Principal at Fort Hayes, but his educational background is nearly exclusive to music. A Columbus native, he has a long history in music pedagogy and has implemented similar programs across the East Coast for over a decade. During his time in Philadelphia, he also became a protégé of Rich Nichols (manager of the hip-hop/neo soul supergroup The Roots) and helped them record the albums How I Got Over and 2011's classic, Undun. Still, he felt he hit his creative ceiling after a while. Succeeding The Roots attaining their residency on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he moved back to Columbus in search of another challenge.
"When I got back I had to figure out what was going on and where the talent was," Anderson said when asked about reconvening at his alma mater. "Thank God I landed at Fort Hayes. It was just a perfect mesh of all my skill sets, so I've just been in paradise. Everyday I come to work is a dream come true."
As executive producer, he guided the inaugural attempt at his reassembled early aspiration. Someday We'll All Be Free (The Project's vol. 1 title) constantly describes the contemporary plights of police brutality, neighborhood gun violence, and teen molestation—all subjects very real to those involved in the album's creation.
"Yesterday was actually my cousin's funeral," said London Peck, a spoken word artist on the project. "He was murdered by one of his friends. And my brother died last year—he was murdered. So it's something I can relate to, and all of us can relate to."
"We always hear about someone dying," Senior Zyirra Hagwood explains in describing the message of her song "I Matter," a standout track that finds her wishing herself and others could see their own lives as valuable. "When I'm singing it, of course it's from personal experience—stereotypes, different things in life. I have to remember that, for people in the community, I'm the voice for that. It's not 'Black Lives Matter' or 'All Lives Matter.' It comes from the sense that my life matters."
During a mid-May listening session held on the eve of the project's release at the Lincoln Theatre, students were able to hear the culmination of what they'd been working on for nearly a year, in full, for the first time. It led the artists to reflect on how much they've grown since beginning The Paragon.
"The reason we made this soundtrack was without these voices there would not be the society we live in," senior spoken word artist Corey Evans told the audience after the project was played, while trying to hold back tears. "These are the people I grew with for four years that changed before my eyes. I'm just proud to know them and be a part of what we've done so far."
Aside from the accomplishment of participating on a professionally recorded album, almost all of the students are looking to parlay their Paragon experience, along with prior personal training, into professional music careers.
"It was a good opportunity for me to get in the studio, be creative, and bring good content to our generation," senior Sydney Arterbridge, who won a "golden ticket" on American Idol in 2014, explained. "This time, I really had to go in and figure stuff out. I feel like it was a good experience for me to start writing my own music."
And for those who think this generation is cursed with a lack of work ethic and controlled by mobile devices, The Paragon has a message for you, too.
"People will see that young people don't just stay on social media and talk about the latest Vines, latest dance crazes," junior singer Juda Culp explains. "We got something to say and y'all better watch out 'cause we're coming."
The Paragon Project's latest creation was released locally last month and is now available via iTunes, Tidal, Amazon, CDbaby, and Spotify.


text: INDIANAPOLIS -- Fewer state agencies missed performance targets in the second half of last year than in the first half, according to an administration report that also claims $255 million in government savings or efficiencies last year. The report attributes about $50 million in projected annual savings to state work force reductions, from 39,000 to 36,000 workers. Gov. Mitch Daniels said the report shows "remarkable" overall progress and notable improvements by such agencies as the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Hoosier Lottery and the Public Employees Retirement Fund. "It's not easy to save ... over a quarter of a billion dollars," Daniels said Friday. "You have to look in every corner, you have to watch every penny. But I want to commend the work of our new crew in having done that in a host of reforms and savings large and small." The semiannual report, first issued last fall, grades agency functions against a color coded scheme where green is satisfactory, red is unsatisfactory and yellow needs improvement. As they did last fall, red and yellow dominate the report. But more functions graded green in the latest assessment, which Daniels attributed to focused attention on efficiency and outcomes. "I tell all the department heads, 'Don't be red-faced about being red,'" Daniels said. "Red is where we started, and red just means you have lots of upside for improvement." Daniels' frank talk did not satisfy House Minority Leader B. Patrick Bauer, D-South Bend, who said the report glosses over Indiana's most pressing problems. He said Hoosiers' personal income and buying power still lag national averages, while good-paying jobs continue to dwindle. "I just believe there might need to be a reality check in the governor's office," Bauer said, "because we do have numbers that show erosion in this Indiana economy." Only some of the administration report focuses on the economy, and even some economic sectors that help drive the Hoosier state did not do well. Agriculture, for example, comprised just 5 percent of the state's gross product last year, compared to an 8 percent target. But Daniels said measurement and improvement are the key ideas, as shown by such agencies as the Department of Correction. The department graded red in 15 of 16 categories. But Daniels has consistently praised the fiscal and policy choices of Commissioner J. David Donahue, who outsourced food services systemwide and privatized all operations at one prison. Donahue also has drawn largely positive attention for an increased focus on prisoner preparation to re-enter their communities. Raymond H. Scheele, a political science professor at Ball State University, said the performance reports reflect a relatively recent trend of measuring government services against some standards, as the private sector has always done. Scheele said such reports may reassure the public that governments care about efficient and effective service delivery, even if larger policy issues dominate political debate. "Running an efficient and effective government agency is not really sexy," he said. Daniels did not identify particular disappointments in the report but said he has talked to BMV Commissioner Joel Silverman about some February "glitches" that slowed license tag mailings to motorists. The report notes BMV improvements in three of four measurements, including error rates and customer satisfaction as measured by surveys. The agency fared poorly in average transaction time, however, which remains at 42 minutes compared to a goal of 20 minutes.

What is the most effective baby diaper selection for the setting?
I was elevated in non reusable diapers, as was my sis as well as all of our little relatives. Till I started researching this inquiry, I believed that I would certainly at some point clothe my little tykes in disposable baby diapers. I thought that towel baby diapers would certainly be far better for the atmosphere, yet returning to the midlifes of childcare just appeared unacceptably untidy. Still, I started fairly, considering how both alternatives are made.
What Does Towel diapering Takes
What enters into a baby diaper? Power, water and also basic material. As well as just how various are the two baby diaper options? Disposable diapers generate vastly a lot more land fill waste than reusables, of course. It takes a lot even more water to make a cloth diaper compared to a non reusable one, mainly to grow and also refine the cotton. When the water utilized to clean the reusables is included in the equation, cloth baby diapers require two times as much water as non reusable diapers do. I was shocked when I discovered this treasure of info concealed in the computations of an U.K. Setting Company record comparing fabric and disposable baby diapers.
The very same report calculated every resource used, from water and energy to plastics and also cotton, throughout production, usage and also disposal of the particular baby diaper items. This more extensive analysis determined the family member ecological impact on everything from global warming to toxic waste. I'll get involved in the details in the Fundamentals, yet right here's the genuine surprise: towel and disposable nappies concern a close to tie in overall ecological impact.
Video: Diapering in Lisbon
Does Fabric Have an influence on the setting?
The manufacturing of non reusable baby diapers has a larger carbon impact, however the electrical power utilized to wash recyclable baby diapers terminates out most of the difference. Cloth baby diapers produce more harmful waste that could affect human wellness, since of the electrical power, cleaning agent and also conditioner utilized to clean them.
So just what will I cover my youngsters little buns in?
I don't intend to contribute to the countless lots of diapers sent to land fills every year. However the essential washing of towel diapers might be equally troublesome, especially in drought-stricken locations. Towel baby diapers will certainly constantly use even more water than disposables, yet they additionally offer much more opportunities to decrease general ecological impact– by using more efficient washers, and also cleaner soaps as well as source of power.
Better Cloth baby diaper style Is the solution
A brand-new design of towel nappies with a compostable liner could be the option to diaper sustainability. You can clean the external towel baby diaper less often, as well as either compost the dirtied internal layer or purge it down the bathroom. With a DIY baby diaper, you can dress up your infant's bottom in a funky old performance t-shirt.
Exactly what else will I should come to be A Cloth Queen?
As well as always remember:
Baby diapers are just one item your infant will certainly need. Lowering your kid's various other effects can be as easy as wanting to Craigslist, consignment stores as well as infant swaps before you acquire brand-new garments as well as playthings. When in doubt, reduce, reuse and also recycle– and teach your youngsters to do the same.

- Love,
- Joy (gladness),
- Peace,
- Patience (an even temper, forbearance),
- Faithfulness,
- (23) Gentleness (meekness, humility),
- Self-control ( self-restraint, continence).
What is the fruit that you desire the most? Obviously we desire all of them but the one that I would like to see come to fruition in my life is self-control. It seems to be one of the many character traits of mine that is most lacking!
So what does the 'fruit of the Spirit' mean? To me it means that the more time I spend in the word and the more I seek the Lord the more my life will be infused with the Holy Spirit - and - the more infused one is with the Holy Spirit the more the fruit that blossoms will be of the Holy Spirit.
So, to exhibit more of the fruit of the Spirit we need to spend more time in the word and seeking God! What an encouragement!
"The work which His presence within accomplishes is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control!"
I kept thinking something was missing from this post and now I realize what it was - The fruit of the spirit is not what we do, its the Holy Spirit working in us who changes us from the inside and that reflects as fruit, these fruit, on the outside.
God bless

Love this little babe! here is a 9 week Ultrasound
One of the first weekends of the month Colton went bird hunting with his boss and a client.... I sure love my mountain man! ANNND While the husbands away... I go to my sisters! haha I got to hang out with my newest cute little nieces Lily and Khole. They are going to be two peas in a pod someday!
Khlo's face cracks me up in this one..... hahaha and Lily is always SOO Smiley!!!
A couple weeks later we got to go to ANOTHER Ultrasound.... 11 weeks this time... It is truly amazing how different baby can look in two short weeks!! We are so in love!
Our little miracle babe!
The same week my Dad invited me to come to Twin Falls to listen to him speak at CSI. He did it for YEARS.... and I had somehow never seen him do it! I was the only one in our family who hadn't gone with him- not sure how that worked out. Dad was incredible. He was always sooo good at public speaking- and touched so many lives. It was a privilege to hear his incredible story. I will treasure it forever....
My Dad.
Testing the powerpoint
The only picture I will ever have of my Dad with me and baby :( he was soooo excited for this baby to come... if only we had a few more months with him!
He is truly my hero.
Unfortunately this trip to Twin took a toll on our Dad. That very weekend he was hospitalized and then Life Flighted to the University of Utah and put on a ventilator. His C02 levels were 129 a normal person is anywhere between 25-30. His kidneys were alarming the doctors- with not good levels as well. Just not good. But he was Michael Pollard so we thought for sure he would pull through like he always does... And he did- kind of. Unfortunately this all happened the weekend before Thanksgiving. So my Mom, sisters and I all spent the entire week of Thanksgiving down in Salt Lake in ICU at the University Hospital. Jess's Hubby Bryan invited Colt to join his family and the kiddos in Preston for Thanksgiving dinner.... I am SOO grateful for the Westerbergs and their generosity towards Colton on this big holiday. I felt so bad leaving him by himself that whole weekend... But I was where I needed to be- supporting my Mom and being by my Dad's side. My Mom's brother Rick and his wife Shauna made us a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.......We were so blessed. I am also so thankful for the Christensens for opening up their home to us for that week- despite their busy Thanksgiving plans and guests! Man we are so blessed- and had SO MANY tender mercies throughout our week stay in SLC.
It broke our hearts seeing him like this.....
We are monitor watching pros.....
Holding our Daddyo's hand.....
Our Thanksgiving feast.... Unc. Ric was there he just wasn't in the picture... haha
After a week in the ICU we were able to take out the vent, and my Dad was transfered to the medical unit,. He remained there for 3-4 more days before they sent him home to Burley. He was significantly weaker- but we were all relieved to have him home. He was relieved to be home... but it obviously didn't last long.... and before we knew it- it was December!
Before the vent came out
Breathing freely.... Strongest man I know!
He was so excited to move off the ICU! I Love this smile....

Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE:SWK) saw its fourth-quarter earnings increase sharply amid strong construction and do-it-yourself sales.
Net sales climbed 4% to $2.67 billion, driving a profit of $492.1 million, or $2.99 a share, that topped $164 million and per-share earnings of 98 cents a year earlier. Excluding merger and acquisition charges and other items, adjusted earnings rose to $1.37 a share from $1.22.
Continue Reading Below
The company last month projected adjusted per-share earnings of $1.28. Analysts had anticipated sales of $2.62 billion.
"The close of 2012 marked a transformational year for the company as we continued our successful evolution into a diversified global industrial enterprise well-positioned for long-term value creation," Stanley Black & Decker's chief executive John F. Lundgren said in a statement.
Sales in Stanley Black & Decker's largest segment, construction and do-it-yourself offerings, rose 8.3%. Its industrial segment reported a sales increase of 1.5%, while sales in the security segment declined 1.7%.
For 2013, the company said it expects adjusted earnings of $5.40 to $5.65 a share, below analysts' forecast of $5.69 a share. Stanley Black & Decker added that it foresees a continuation of the modest growth in U.S. housing, which should help offset slowly recovering security and industrial end markets.
Stanley Black & Decker, which was created after the 2010 merger of Stanley Works and Black & Decker, has suffered in recent quarters from integration costs. It announced plans to cut jobs and suspend acquisition activity to focus on the company's growth.
"The success of the Black & Decker merger further validates our Company's acquisition integration capabilities. Looking forward, we are confident in our ability to adapt and apply our expertise and specialized skills in this area to fuel organic growth initiatives," Lundgren added.
The New Britain, Conn.-based company sold its hardware and home improvement group last month for $1.4 billion to Spectrum Brands Holdings (NYSE:SPB). It earlier agreed to acquire Hong Kong's Infastech, a fastener manufacturer, for $850 million.
Shares of Stanley Black & Decker were down 47 cents to $77.49 a share Thursday morning.

Renée Zellweger appears to be in nesting mode – with the help of Bradley Cooper mom.
Having already met his parents last year, Zellweger is getting in even more family time with her boyfriend's folks.
The actress, 41, who is settling into her new home with Cooper – a $4.7 million, 3-bedroom, 3-bath house in Pacific Palisades, Calif., – was spotted shopping with his mom, Gloria, for household items in the Los Angeles area this week.
PHOTO: Renée Zellweger Backstage at Cancer Benefit
The duo, who also hung out at a fashion event together in March, picked up paper towels and other basics from CVS.
And while the actress may be clocking in some quality time with Cooper's parents, she isn't calling them her in-laws just yet.
Reps for Zellweger and Cooper, 35, who've been dating since July 2009, denied rumors earlier this summer that the couple were engaged.

In my very first post in blog 1.0 I spoke about my desire the read the Holy Bible cover to cover. Several years on I've mostly accomplished that goal. And while in blog 1.0 I used several posts to dissect and parse biblical passages–basically nitpick, I'm now going to give my "overall impression", a macro view instead of the micro.
Here it is: boiled down to its very essence the bible is top notch. The key messages of loving thy neighbors, forgiving trespasses, and treating others as you'd like to be treated really resonate. Some of the rest is dangerous tribal hogwash, but I'm supremely happy to try to follow much of the heart of old testament teachings and Jesus Christ's new covenant.
Much of what I've come to believe in religion and Christianity was reinforced reading The Man Who Quit Money (hereafter TMWQM) by Mark Sundeen. TMWQM chronicles the lifelong struggles of Daniel Suelo, a gay man raised as a fundamentalist Christian who tried to literally live Christ's teachings. He renounced all worldly possessions, "squatted" on public land and lived on charity and forage. He denied any monetary benefit from his good works and struggled with his faith and his homosexuality.
But Suelo's biggest battles lately involve defending his sexuality and spirituality against narrow minded evangelical Christians. When asked by one if he (Suelo) thought he could "live like Jesus?", Suelo responded: "Wasn't that what Jesus said: do what I do? He was here as an example for us to follow. Same with all prophets. Didn't the prophets tell us to be like them? That's what's wrong with Christianity. They make Jesus and the prophets into icons, take them off of earth, and put them in heaven to worship them, so they're no longer accessible. You've taken a reality and made it into a worthless idol. Christians talk about the idolatry of other religions, but when they no longer live principles and just worship the people who taught them, that's exactly what they're doing." (TMWQM, p. 246)

We're planning a short trip to Dublin and need help! We have three dinners -- our only requirements are wonderful food and something that can work for one of the party who's a vegetarian. We're thinking of Camden Kitchen, Chapter One, L'Ecrivan, Guilbaud, Fallon & Byrne, the Vintage Kitchen, The Greenhouse, and maybe No. 41.
Are these the right choices? And, since we just have three nights, what should we pick??? Thanks!

Hyderabad: Barring YSR Congress Party leader YS Jaganmohan Reddy and his close aide Vijay Sai Reddy, a special CBI court here on Monday granted bail to 11 other people accused of involvement in his illegal assets case.
All the 13 accused, including Jagan, as he is popularly called, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investiagtion (CBI) on Sunday night, appeared in the special CBI court in response to its summons over the first charge sheet.
Those who appeared in the court included senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer B.P. Acharya, who is already in jail for his alleged involvement in the Emaar-APIIC township case.
Jagan`s auditor Vijay Sai Reddy was not granted bail.
Those who were given bail included Managing Directors Srinivasa Reddy (Hetero Drugs), Nityananda Reddy (Aurobindo Pharma), Sarat Chandra Reddy (Trident Life Sciences), AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation`s former Officer Y. Vijayalakshmi, and Aurobindo Pharma`s former Company Secretary Chandramouli.
The court summons on Jagan and 11 others were served May 14. However, the CBI arrested Jagan on Sunday evening after questioning him for three days.
The CBI had filed the first charge sheet on March 30. The second was filed on April 23 and the third on May 7.
The agency booked a case against Jagan and 71 others in August last year on the direction of Andhra Pradesh High Court.
The young leader is accused of conspiring with his father and then Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy to dole out favours to companies which invested in his businesses in a quid pro quo arrangement.
The CBI also presented before the court leading industrialist Nimmagadda Prasad and bureaucrat K.V. Brahmananda Reddy as their 10-day CBI custody ended on Sunday.
The agency moved a petition seeking their custody for four more days. The court however, sent them back to Chanchalguda Central Jail.
The court had remanded them in judicial custody on May 16 till May 30.

For rain gutters to smoothly and effectively funnel rainwater into a downspout and away from a structure, they must be pitched properly. While many guttering problems are related to clogs, leaks and corrosion, improper pitch can have just as significant an effect on gutter performance while being undetectable to the naked eye. If you want to see if your gutters are pitched properly, take the following measurements and get ready for some simple math.
Things You'll Need
- Measuring tape
- Ladder
Video of the Day
Set up a ladder against your home's exterior so that you will be able to take measurements along the eaves of the roof, where the gutter is. Start by setting up the ladder near the corner of the house opposite the gutter downspout.
Measure the length of the gutter. There are two ways of doing this: You can climb the ladder, extend your measuring tape and slide it along the roof or gutter to get your measurement. But you can also stay on the ground and simply lay out your measuring tape on the ground as you slowly walk the length of the guttered side of the house. If you use the latter method, be sure to look up to make sure the ends of the tape are lined up with the ends of the gutters. Don't worry about measuring to the exact inch; you can round off your measurements to the nearest foot.
Climb the ladder on the side of the house opposite the downspout. At the top of the ladder, measure the distance between the eave of the roof and the top of the gutter. Then climb back down.
Move the ladder to the side of the house with the downspout. Climb up and measure the distance between the roof's eave and the top of the gutter on this side.
Divide the length of the gutter, in feet, by 10. Your result is the ideal difference of the length, in inches, that you should have between the high end of the gutter and the low end of the gutter.
Subtract the distance in inches between the high end of the gutter and the roof eave from the distance in inches between the low end of the gutter and the roof eave. This is the actual difference, in inches, between the two gutter ends. If the pitch is off its ideal angle by more than half an inch, you may want to consider contacting a guttering specialist to make repairs.

How do we move on when we lose what we love? How do we leave behind what we no longer love? What is the price of exiting and how far should we go to escape? What should we keep with us, what should we discard? Such questions pulse through Granta's new issue.
The exit strategies under scrutiny range from Claire Messud's chronicle of an agonising decision about whether to accept a teaching engagement in Beirut during the final weeks of her father's life, to Adrienne Rich's short, taut poems, which show how language can imprison or liberate.
The pieces here elucidate the many factors that impel people to move – personal, political, financial and even environmental (as in Stacy Kranitz's photo-essay of homes sinking into the sea). There are chosen departures and, as in Aleksandar Hemon's excellent "War Dogs", enforced ones. Movement occurs in often perilous terrains, such as a fraught bus journey to Lagos. Death – the ultimate exit – is chronicled meditatively and viscerally, whether it's a parent, partner (as in Anne Tyler's tender, understated contribution) or children (Susan Minot's unflinching "Thirty Girls"). Amid the loss there is hope, one character believing "that for everything destroyed a new thing was created".
Often, the very methods designed to free are those that ensnare. We see people tangled in legal systems, ideologies, emotional knots and, in "The Interrogation" by Vanessa Manko, familial ties. Journeys often don't lead forward but into the past, as in Daniel Alarcón's story about a son visiting his father's home town. The biggest trap is often our memory.
The best pieces show the delights of entanglement, the difficulties of extrication and the messy, marvellous condition of being human. At times, this beautifully illustrated anthology mourns our lack of agency; at others, it celebrates the fact that – despite everything – the next chapter of our lives is usually in our own hands.

Provide an Integrated Approach to Identity Access and Security
Identity and access management is disconnected from security management in many IT organizations. Traditionally, identity and access management has focused on getting business users the right access to do their jobs, regardless of complexity from cloud and mobile apps, while security teams have focused on defending the organization from external and internal threats.
But both want the same thing—to protect sensitive information from misuse or theft using a method that is transparent and convenient for users. And both teams have capabilities that would be useful for the other. NetIQ helps organizations address risk and complexity, from both privileged and regular users, with an integrated set of solutions that manage the identity and access lifecycle, authentication, identity governance, and security monitoring. We call this approach Identity-Powered Security.
Consisting of three complementary disciplines, Identity-Powered Security also includes specialized Privileged Identity Management solutions that help organizations meet compliance regulations and prevent data breaches associated with the misuse of privileged user accounts.

It's a solar celebration weekend. President Obama took the opportunity of his weekly video address over the 4th of July weekend to announced that the Department of Energy has awarded close to $2 billion in conditional commitments for loan guarantees to Spanish solar company Abengoa Solar and Colorado-based solar panel maker Abound Solar.
Abengoa Solar was awarded a $1.45 billion loan guarantee to help it build Solana, a solar thermal trough-based solar farm that is under contract to sell power to Arizona utility APS in Gila Bend, Ariz. Fred Morse, U.S. senior adviser to Abengoa Solar, told me back in February that Abengoa had "completed the permitting," "gotten the transmission link ready," and had just started "on financing the project." Nice job Morse.
Solana will create 1,600 jobs in Arizona, said Obama, and over 70 percent of the solar components will be made in the U.S., he added. The plant will be ready by 2013.
Abound Solar, which makes thin-film solar panels, was awarded a $400 million loan guarantee to build two new plants. Obama said that the Abound plants would create 2,000 construction jobs and 1,500 permanent jobs.

Hi Neil,
Great quote! Can you give me a proper citation. I searched the Times website and cannot find the Andrew Sims article that was referred to.
Skimming through a friends copy of John Lennox's Gunning for God: Why the new atheists are missing the taget I came across this striking quote from Professor Andrew Sims former President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists taken from an article in The Times (£) newspaper:
The advantageous effect of religious belief and spirituality on mental and physical health is one of the best-kept secrets in psychiatry and medicine generally. If the findings of the huge volume of research on this topic had gone in the opposite direction and it had been found that religion damages your mental health, it would have been front-page news in every newspaper in the land.
In the majority of studies, religious involvement is correlated with well-being, happiness and life satisfaction; hope and optimism;purpose and meaning in life; higher self-esteem; better adaptation to bereavement; greater social support and less loneliness; lower rates of depression and faster recovery from depression; lower rates of suicide and fewer positive attitudes towards suicide; less anxiety; less psychosis and fewer psychotic tendencies; lower rates of alcohol and drug use and abuse; less delinquency and criminal activity; greater marital stability and satisfaction… We concluded that for the vast majority of people the apparent benefits of devout belief and practice probably outweigh the risks.
Hi Neil,
Great quote! Can you give me a proper citation. I searched the Times website and cannot find the Andrew Sims article that was referred to.
The two paragraphs are quotes from "Is Faith Delusion? Why Religion is Good for Your Health" by Andrew Sims. The first paragraph of the quote is from Andrew Sims, the second paragraph is actually a quote from Koenig and et al. in "Handbook of Religion and Health". Andrew Sims quoted it because he agreed with it, not because he was the source of that quotation.

Colts activate OL Hills, waive WR Adams
The Indianapolis Colts are promoting offensive tackle Tony Hills
from the practice squad to the active roster.
To make room for Hills, the Colts waived receiver Kris Adams on
At 6-foot-5 and 304 pounds, Hills gives the Colts depth in an
area they have been hit hard by injuries. Guards Joe Reitz and Seth
Olsen have been ruled out of Sunday's game against Green Bay
because of knee injuries. Center Samson Satele is questionable with
a knee injury. Earlier this week, the Colts also promoted center
A.Q. Shipley from the practice squad.
Adams played in each of the Colts' first three games this season
and caught two passes for 26 yards.
Linebacker Pat Angerer (foot) and cornerbacks Vontae Davis
(ankle) and Justin King (groin) also have been ruled out.

But I'll reassure you that I've done and will do everything I can to be my own advocate. I've spoken to Maggie, my chemo nurse, about my concerns. Although she won't be there in the room due to her full schedule, she's given me the name of the head nurse who will be in the infusion room at the time (Allison). Maggie has spoken to Allison, who is aware that I will be double-checking everything. I know the generic and brand names for the drugs I expect to receive and I will check the bags. I will ask to see my chart and the calculations of how much I should receive based on my height and weight. I plan to report anything I feel immediately, regardless of whether they've warned me it's supposed to be happening. And in general, I will not be an easy patient tomorrow. I'm sure this'll get easier, but for the first day, all of this is necessary.
But anyhow, on to the title of this post because we all need a little laugh. Throughout this experience, I've had a few things said or done that were just completely mind-boggling. Now that my jaw is back in it's normal place, I can share them with you and we can all laugh.
First of all, when I was having my second opinion done at Upstate, they needed a copy of my mammogram and ultrasound from Crouse. I was told to stop by the Crouse records department and I hand-carried a CD into my appointment at Upstate. I gave it to the staff as I checked in and never thought about it again...until...
A few days later, after we'd chosen to use the doctors at Crouse, that very CD was mailed to us at home. Like I wanted my ultrasound pictures for my scrapbook or something. Do you think I should make the ultrasound of my cancerous tumor my Facebook profile picture? I can if you want me to. Since I'm a little savvy at blogging pictures now, and this one doesn't have any Frankenstitches, I'll show you this one right here without the need to click:

I am really enjoying it as it turns out. It is time-consuming - each round of 400 plus stitches is taking me about 45 minutes at the moment - but the pattern itself is a lot easier than the bigger motifs in fair isle knitting and can be memorised fairly quickly , so that after the first repeat or two, I don't keep having to check the chart and can get on with watching Lewis or King or whatever.
The Luckenbooth brooch is a traditional Scottish, rather than Shetlandic/Norse, symbol. They are named after the Lucken Booths, or 'locked booths' - early shops around St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, that sold jewellery and trinkets. The broochy were often given as a betrothal gift, and later pinned to the shawls of babies to protect them from evil spirits. Normally made of silver, a Luckenbooth brooch consists of two intertwined hearts, often topped with a crown. Lots of modern examples on Etsy

"There are as many as ten quadrillion living individual ants on earth at any moment! Ant colonies consume more protein that lions, tigers, and bears combined," Megan C. Brown writes in her children's book, Ant Adaptation.
This letter-sized paperback book contains forty-two pages and is targeted toward young preschool to early elementary school aged children, especially those who like animals and insects. With no profanity, scary scenes, or violence, the illustrations are large, usually covering the right side of the page while one or two sentences of black wording against a stark white background are on the left side.
Brown's book is not a story per se of an ant or colonies of ants, but more of an educational learning tool of the characteristics and behavior of these tiny creatures. Readers will not only learn the ant can lift ten times its weight, its feet's grip can withstand hurricane force winds, and it defies gravity, it also communicates within its colony through body language and chemical signals called pheromones, and it has swarm intelligence.
Two specific species named the Black Garden and Wood ants actually farm aphids and mealybugs for the rich sap produced. Ants will defend their flocks against spiders, wasps, and ladybugs for their production of the sweet honeydew, the high-energy nutrient from their collection. A colony can eat two hundred pounds of this honeydew per year.
Although the book does not go into detail about where ants live (ant hill, underground, or in a log), their lifespan, or other types of ants such red or fire ants that sting or bite, the book does explains the concept of farming other insects for food, including clipping aphids' wings so they cannot fly away to increase their food-producing population.
With more complicated words for beginning readers, this book would best be read aloud to young ones, while the adult will find the tongue-in-cheek designs clever, funny, and engaging. There is also a helpful reminder at the end of the book to visit the local library to learn more. Although the book is rather short and stops abruptly, Brown has plenty of options for future educational series of animals and insects that children can learn about in a fun, creative way.
This book was furnished by the author in lieu of a review based on my own opinion.

Time for a Flight Chapter 4
Time for a Flight Chapter 4
As the plane sat on the runway, waiting for permission to takeoff, I thought about all the things that Richard and I had talked about as we drove to the airport for my night flight.
He told me about his family: he married his high school sweetheart when she was only seventeen and he was nineteen. He was the dad of two sons by the time he was twenty three; the boys were now teenagers.
He had been a crane operator for fifteen years all over the southeast. Facing death had been part of the job when the crane was positioned at the top of an on going building project. During the second decade of his career, he came to a place where he could not advance. He was at the top of his game. He decided to make a life change. He chose a profession that required use of his natural ability to communicate and, as a definite plus, he would be able to stay home every night.
During the years he had to travel, he suspected his wife of having an ongoing affair with a local doctor. When she became so upset that he was changing jobs, he realized that she no longer supported his decisions in any area and they disagreed about everything; he knew that the love was gone.
At age thirty five, Richard decided to join the ranks of State Insurance Company. Now, at age thirty seven, he was the number one agent in the state of Tennessee.
I told him that I was not happy in my marriage, but had decided to "make it work" for the sake of my three sons. I focused on work, earning a good salary, and reaching for the goal of number one within my district. I also had decided to quality for the Sales' Manager position.
I wanted to be the first woman manager within the company. This required working twelve to fourteen hours per day, four days per week.
Since I had no love life, I was able to focus on my career. Then, after I met Richard when he asked, "Is anyone sitting here?" he was in my heart and on my mind continually.
With my mind reliving the mind altering hours with Richard, the flight to Savannah was fast and smooth, but I became very nervous as I pulled my Chrysler into the drive way at home.
My husband, James, had such a temper and was the kind of man who didn't want me, but did not want anyone else to have me.
My premonitions about his fiery attitude were on target. James had found a phone bill that had a listing of some of the calls to Richard's office in Tennessee. He was furious and started accusing me of being a tramp and ended his verbal attack by slapping my face so hard that I fell to the floor.
About this time the boys came home, so James stormed out of our bedroom to say I was not feeling well, and wanted to be alone. I was so upset, I packed a few clothes and drove to Cathy's apartment across town.
I had promised Richard that I would not call his home, so I waited until the next morning to phone his office.
My fairy tale romance came to a brutal halt when I asked to speak with Richard and he would not talk to me. James told me that he had called his boss, threatening Richard's life. I was in complete despair as I could get no answers. Richard would not call me.

Everyone was outside the ' 'roach motel' early the next morning, obviously very keen to get away from the place. With the luggage and camera bags loaded back into the minibus, we headed off back to the the drinking pool hide and farmland tracks. Rene and I returned back to the hide for the morning session while Hans and Michael toured the dusty farmland tracks to see what they could find.
The drinking pool hide was extremely quiet and we spent most of the morning watching a solitary frog lazily swimming around and snatching the occasional fly trapped in the surface film. Eventually a Turtle Dove arrived for a quick drink before departing leaving the pool eerily quiet once more.
It was coming close to collection time so we decided to give up on the hide and see if we could stalk some birds on foot. A cuckoo was flying around, chasing another bird so we started with that and managed to get a couple of photographs before it disappeared in pursuit into the distance.
At this point I had a chat with Rene whether it was really worth staying here for the afternoon or if we should suggest moving on to our next destination, subject to the agreement of the other two photographers. In the distance a cloud of approaching dust signalled the return of the minibus. A quick exchange on how the morning session had gone and it was a unanimous decision that we should leave Macin behind and head to our final destination the coastal lagoon areas near Constanta on the Black Sea coast. After lunch at the lay-by restaurant once more we hit the road again and headed east on a journey of a couple of hours along the bumpy roads of Romania.
Our first destination was some tracks running through an extensive area of farmland. This was within the Cogoleac Wind Farm which is an enormous area dotted with over 240 huge wind turbines, gently turning in the breeze, that have invaded the landscape in all direction,
Our drive round the farmland tracks was fairly unproductive, although not surprising given that there were four of us in the minibus. It was particularly frustrating from my position in the back corner of the minibus which made it extremely difficult to get the camera on the bird and only then if it was on the right hand side. A funny thing I have noticed on this trip and subsequent ones is that the places people first select in a vehicle or hide, and in this case also the boat, is the same one they stick to for the entire duration of the trip. It obviously pays to think about this carefully at the start of a trip which I obviously hadn't on this occasion. In our drive around the tracks I only managed to take photographs from my restricted position of a male Ortolan Bunting and a new species, the sturdy Calandra Lark, perched on top of sunflowers. I am sure the other photographers will have got some photos of other species as well.
The main target species here were Pied Wheatear and the European Ground Squirrel or Souslik which inhabit the sheep grazed carpet of grass on the valley floor. The Pied Wheatear were very striking birds but fairly unapproachable with little cover. After several attempts I managed to get a couple of photographs of both the female and the very beautiful male. In hindsight I wished I had spent a bit more time trying to get some better photographs of these wheatear.
The female
A head emerges from the labyrinth of tunnels below.
On sentry duty
and calling which is very loud when you are right next to it!
We headed off to the check-in to our hotel in Sinhoe. A very nice hotel indeed and a complete contrast to where we had stayed the previous night. Our first destination for the next day, our final full day in Romania, was to be to try and photograph some Collared Pratincole a bird that has long been on my 'wish list'.

Major League Baseball® 2K10 Review
So I played some Major League Baseball® 2K10 for the Wii this past weekend. It was my first look at the new Target Field, which was really cool. The graphics of the game were amazing. The players looked so realistic. Not only their appearance, but their movement.
I had a ton of fun playing with the AL Greats. Jim Palmer's 12-6 curve in particular was amazing.
Not only can you play a season or exhibition mode, but you can even take part in a Home Run Derby.
If you haven't checked it out yet, give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

HAPPY (...happy...happy...) MONDAY (...Monday...Monday...)
Happy Monday? Yes, there is a lot to be happy about.
1. This dude had freaking brain surgery on Wednesday. And here he is yesterday proving the healing power of Target retail therapy.
|He may be down half of a C1 vertebrae and sport an awesome looking incision (which Uncle Brian is trying to convince him to tattoo a zipper over) but the boy knows where happiness resides. In the toy aisle, duh.
Thanks for all your prayers for my little nephew. He is doing great, and already talking about returning to football next year. He has a few more weeks of healing ahead of him, but he is keeping his strength up with fun size Kit-Kats. Which? Is really the only way to do it.
|I'm pretty sure it should have it's own
zip code. Cuh-razy.
4. I fixed our bathtub all by myself. I made sure I was as professional as possible, using tools like my tweezers* so I didn't have to touch the massive hairball that came up in clumps when I snaked the drain. (*Don't worry, not my good eyebrow tweezers; I'm not that committed.)
5. With my new bangs the first five minutes of every day is spent looking like an 80's rocker. So that's pretty awesome.
|Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
|"Do you take sugar?
One lump or twoooooo?"
6. And finally, my favorite joke, ever:
A man walks into a zoo. The only animal in the entire zoo is a dog. It's a shitzu.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
-- Like a woman in parturition, who, after having restrained her breathing for a time, at last, overcome with labor pain, lets out her voice with a panting sigh; so Jehovah will give full vent to His long pent-up wrath.
Their instinct comes direct from God and guides them to help themselves in parturition; the very time when the herdsman is most anxious for his herds. wild goats -- ibex (Ps 104: 18; 1Sa 24: 2). hinds -- fawns; most timid and defenseless animals, yet cared for by God.
Hutzal CE, Boyle EM, Kenyon SL, Nash JV, Winsor S, Taylor DJ, Kirpalani H. Useof antibiotics for the treatment of preterm parturition and prevention of neonatal morbidity: a metaanalysis.
Mr. Bridges, the missionary who has studied so well the Yahgans of Tierra del Fuego, states that "the names _imu_ and _dabi_ -- father and mother -- have no meaning apart from their application, neither have any of their other very definite and ample list of terms for relatives, except the terms _macu_ [cf. _magu_," parturition "] and
The Child and Childhood in Folk-Thought Studies of the Activities and Influences of the Child Among Primitive Peoples, Their Analogues and Survivals in the Civilization of To-Day
And this makes perfect sense – medically speaking, jeopardy to the mother is indivisible from jeopardy to the foetus until parturition is over.
So the obvious explanation is that, previously, the off-screen relegation of parturition was the result of straight sexism, and its new primacy is a good sign.
Poor frustrated Semmelweiss, women who died because doctors wouldn't wash, Brigid and Michael in their various painful forms of parturition – all that is the stuff of a novel.
So, a third European Muslim state struggles into life, its parturition attended by a gaggle of EU midwives, infuriating Serbia and Russia into the bargain.
"An occupation requiring a woman to stand during the greater part of the day when continued up to within a few days or even hours of the time of parturition, must act to the detriment of the offspring, and there is less chance of the latter coming into the world fully grown, well-formed, and in good health."
She would eventually commemorate her reaction to the news of this impending geriatric parturition by naming the newborn Isaac, which means "I laughed."
...it was like the turnpike road to paradise after crossing an Arabian desert, when being led by master Diego through the kitchens, I there saw my lord archbishop's supper, and the stew-pans in the last throes of parturition.

Enterprising students boost hospice funds
KIND-HEARTED young entrepreneurs from Bishop Perowne CE College, Worcester, have donated £200 to St Richard's Hospice in the city.
The college's Young Enterprise team for 2012-13, Prestige, raised the money by selling home-made friendship bracelets and laser cut tea light holders at trade fairs and by scooping local and regional awards.
During their year of trading, Prestige won £25 for best product, £50 for reaching the regional finals and a further £50 for teamwork and communication at the area finals.
The company was successfully run by managing director Shahena Sultana and the coffers carefully controlled by finance director Thomas Blundell.
Prestige made more than £1,000 profit and after returning 100 per cent dividends to their shareholders and paying the 21-strong team members a salary and bonus, decided they wanted to help the hospice.
Clare Morris, who was named Young Enterprise's South Worcestershire area link teacher of the year, said: "The students have been fully committed to the programme and gained many life experiences. I am very proud of them and wish them good luck in the future."

Last month we noted how striking it was when even random web comics were mocking the ridiculousness of the patent system -- pointing to a comic from SMBC. Well, he's back with yet another, even more direct, mocking of the patent system. Behold, patents in the time of Sir Isaac Newton.
Of course, I think he missed out on another joke (and was disappointed it wasn't in the after comment) concerning how the Newton-Leibniz controversy would have played out in a first to file system vs. a first to invent patent system. Then again, perhaps only true patent system geeks would get that one.

Of course it misses completelyThere are many things wrong with the patent system and many more aspects that are unfortunate side-effects, but the patent system did not make any of these mistakes. From the beginning, the system excluded patents on natural laws. So you couldn't patent momentum even if you discovered it.
Furthermore, the patent system requires that all claims be written in a positive way. They don't mean optimistic, only that the patent can't be made broad by saying "I patent everything but X." One can only describe a mechanism for achieving something.
But I'm afraid that these limitations are lost on the knee-jerk fools who are ready to toss out the baby with bathwater. They look at the excesses of the pharmaceutical industry and immediately assume that new drugs would magically appear faster if we took away all funding and property rights. Sure. That's why there are so many new drugs emerging from all of the patent-free intellectual fervor in Somalia. Heck, there aren't even any notable drugs coming out of India, a long-time rebel in refusing patent protection. Where did that get them?
The fact is that the patent system reminds me of that old quote from Oscar Wilde: the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. There are plenty of lawless regions of the world where patents don't trouble the geniuses. So why are all of the great inventions coming from patent-loving places like Switzerland and the US?

Re: Of course it misses completely

Be careful about assuming causation.
It could very well be that most (far from all) great inventions come from such places not because such places are patent-loving, but that they are patent-loving because the inventions caused the rise of monopoly-loving corporations.

Re: Of course it misses completelyAnd of course you miss the point completely, Bob. Under the current patent regimes (USPTO in particular) Isaac Newton would have had his patent applications rubber-stamped with little or no questions, leaving the question of validity to be decided by an expensive court process.
In the meantime scientific and technological process grinds to a standstill as Mr Newton obtains injuctions againsts competing scientists that infringe on his iSaac patents.

Re: Re: Of course it misses completelyThat is not really how it works...
There are two issues with patents in the areas you mention, but they are a bit different than you think:
Patents have been developing a lot through time and its primary purpose has been to reduce the commercial secrecy to get new research going.
The first problem is something as banal as boundary pushing: Through time newer things will have to be watched for being natural or logical as well as having a sufficient height and actually being new. What is natural and what is logical is not set in stone and since the system works with a judiciary oversight accepting any use of a formulation if one slips by, there will inevitably be some erosion of the terms.
The second problem is about the use in science: As soon as you have a patent on something it is still legal to use in scientific settings and it is even encouraged in many cases! The primary problem today is that the patents are very specific and generally takes equipment that not even universities own to create. By having that "monopoly" on production of the patented thing, it is very expensive to actually go out and buy it from the company and delivery + time to create it is another strain on public scientific research. What is even worse: Patents have made their way into the universities and it is therefore getting a lot more competitive between the professors at the same university. Some see that competition as good, but it is bad for the students who get caught up having to rely on single professors for advice and the research about anything with even a potentially future patenteable application is very problematic for all parts involved!

Re: Re: Re: Of course it misses completely
Patents have been developing a lot through time and its primary purpose has been to reduce the commercial secrecy to get new research going.
True for a while. I would now say the primary purpose of patents is profit and defense - there is absolutely no need for software patents to exist (morally - patents on drugs and genetic sequences shouldn't exist either).
The first problem is something as banal as boundary pushing...
Hence, the boundaries have already been stretched beyond the ridiculous, to the point that natural scientific things have been patented and then left to the courts to decide just as I stated (worryingly, in some cases upheld by the courts):
Let's just say if we were to compare the patentable boundaries to countries, America today would include Argentina, Congo, Turkey, Greenland and Finland as part of the USA.
The primary problem today is that the patents are very specific...
I'm pretty sure you'll find many informed people will argue that the problems with patents is exactly the opposite of that statement - they are overly broad - see above.
I know I've cherry picking your comment somewhat but I'm not going to apologise for that. You seem to have got most of the problem analysed, but I felt the need to intentionally point out some small flaws in your premise in order to qualify my previous comment.
Benjo (profile), 12 Oct 2012 @ 11:49am
Re: Of course it misses completelyAlright, you almost sound ready to make concessions so I'll ask you:
Do you think patents (and their duration's) are more appropriate in some industries than others? You jump to talking about the pharmaceutical industry but do you think new smartphones and tablets would stop appearing if we no longer allowed patents on software and aesthetic design (x inch rectangular tablet with rounded edges)?

Re: Of course it misses completelycan't be made broad by saying "I patent everything but X."
You're right. They try to say "I patent [wishy-washy phrase which covers X and everything remotely related to X]"

Re: Of course it misses completelySo why are all of the great inventions coming from patent-loving places like Switzerland and the US?
You mean like the following patented devices and great inventions: Television, Radio, Synchronised Audio Soundtracks on Projected Movies, Over the Horizon Radar, Radar, WLAN, Telnet, Aircraft Black Boxes, Lawnmower, Steam Engine, The Automobile, Sewing Machine, Penicillin, Human Invitrofertilisation, Neon Lamp....
Shall I go on? Oh and NO NONE of the above were invented either in the USA or Switzerland.
Actually the thing you are reading right now we like to call the World Wide Web was NOT invented in the USA or by an American though interestingly was NOT patented either. Wow hey? no patent on probably one of the most amazing and important inventions since the Printing Press.

Re:Seems you fail at interpreting sarcasm. And there is a particularly problematic point there: integrals are pretty much the foundation of most of what we have available today. I Newton managed to patent maybe we wouldn't have seen many of the innovations based on his methods that came to pass during the time the patent would be valid. This point is really well addressed in the cartoon and the rest is just sarcasm. Actually, the patent employee seems to be an improved version of reality.

What will it take to curb the rise in obesity?
Shifting a whole population towards a healthy weight requires action targeting the root causes of obesity
The headline finding from our 2003 paper was a 2.5-times increase in the prevalence of obesity since 1980, with 20.8% of Australian adults found to be obese. Reporting the national obesity prevalence for the first time since 1995, this paper was one of the key outcomes from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study (AusDiab).1 AusDiab was the first Australian national diabetes study; it showed an adult prevalence of diabetes of 7.4% and that of prediabetes (elevated blood glucose levels but below the cut-point for diabetes) at 16.4%.2 These figures meant that prevention of the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes was placed very much on the national agenda. AusDiab went on to become a longitudinal study, with the follow-ups of the cohort at 5 and 12 years providing invaluable data for studying obesity, diabetes, prediabetes, hypertension and kidney disease in individuals as they age. The more than 200 papers now published using data from this study have played an important role in influencing national public health policy and action.
With the prevalence of obesity continuing to climb since the baseline AusDiab survey (28.3% in the 2011–12 National Health Survey3), it is becoming clear that the lifestyle change…
