January 29, 2014 + St. Maximus the Confessor on How to Approach Christian Texts and Discourses
by Protopresbyter Fr. George Papavarnavas
... Saint Maximus writes in the preface to his "400 Chapters on Love", which he addressed to "Elpidius the Presbyter", who, as it appears, asked him for this discourse: "I request that you not be annoyed by anything that is said; I have simply fulfilled an obligation."
At first he clarifies that everything mentioned in this text are not reflections of his intellect, but selections from the wisdom of the Holy Fathers, whose words he investigated, and then tells the recipient of this discourse the way it should be studied to be benefited spiritually. While studying it, he will need to look for the benefit which comes from the words, overlooking the style which lacks charm, and to pray for the author. Out of humility he adds that the author of this essay is bereft of spiritual profit. Further, he emphasizes that the study of this essay must not be out of curiosity, but with the fear of God and love, because without the Grace of God one cannot see the depth of what is read to benefit from it.
"Perhaps it might happen that something useful to the soul will be revealed out of them. This will happen completely by the Grace of God to the one who reads with an uncomplicated mind, with the fear of God and with love. But if someone reads this or any other book whatever not for the spiritual profit but to hunt for phrases to reproach the author so that he might then set himself up in his own opinion as wiser than he, such a person will never receive any profit of any kind."
The same, of course, happens with audiences of spiritual discourses. Those wishing to be fed spiritually, to be supported and comforted, should listen with humility and fear of God. Further, they should pray for enlightenment from above to the one giving the discourse, and that God may open their minds that they may understand everything they hear. Conversely, if you are trying to hunt for phrases to isolate and thus criticize the speaker, they will never be benefitted.
Ekklesiastiki Paremvasi, "ΟΣΙΟΣ ΜΑΞΙΜΟΣ Ο ΟΜΟΛΟΓΗΤΗΣ", January 2008. Translated by John Sanidopoulos,

Translation of the relics of the Hieromartyr Ignatius, the Godbearer and Bishop of Antioch
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, you became you became a successor to their throne. Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, O inspired one of God; by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, even to the shedding of your blood. Hieromartyr Ignatius, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion, Tone 4
Today you rose from the east, enlightening all of creation with your teachings, and you are crowned with martyrdom, God-bearing Ignatius.

District of Columbia Graduate Nursing Schools and On-Campus Nursing Programs
Today's nursing graduate schools provide nurses and non-nurses with a variety of options when it comes to earning nursing graduate degrees. Students could choose from many exciting career paths and take courses specific to their selected nursing niche. Whether this means a focus on clinical practice, research, nurse leadership, nurse education, women's health or something else, there could be a graduate nursing program pathway for you.
Nursing Graduate Schools and Nursing Graduate Degrees
Nursing graduate schools offer Masters in Nursing (MSN), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), PhD and Nursing Certificate Programs. At these levels of education, nursing programs could help students develop clinical expertise and learn to apply nursing science to improve patient outcomes. As a student of an on-campus nursing program, you may have access to resources, like clinics, medical tools, labs and more. Plus, you could join a community of nurse clinicians, researchers, faculty and peers on your path toward advanced nursing practice.
A Nursing School for You
Many nurses evaluate nursing graduate schools based on the type of instruction they could provide, as well as the level of education needed to enter a given program. Others might seek a university with a dual degree program such as an MSN/MBA, or programs in other areas that branch off the main ones listed below. Use your goals and aspirations to search for, and find, nursing universities that might support your endeavors and current education level.
Common Types of Nursing Programs
- Nurse Educator programs often mix professional courses with pedagogy so that nurses could learn about lesson design and teaching methods used in nursing.
- Nurse Executive programs could prepare nurses to lead initiatives and tackle administrative and managerial issues (e.g. budget, staff).
- Clinical Leadership
- programs typically blend lessons in advanced clinical nursing theories with leadership tools and evidence-based practice.
- Nurse Practitioner programs could prepare nurses to deliver primary care to individuals, families and populations across their lifespan.
- Nurse Anesthesia programs are designed to prepare nurses to provide anesthesia care during various types of procedures.
- Nurse Midwife programs are generally planned-out to prepare nurses to deliver care to women during their lifespan and childbirth, and to healthy newborns.
- Nurse Informatics programs blend courses in nursing science, information technology and analytics.
Graduate nursing schools may use different names or have different programs than those listed above. Therefore it's important to speak with an admission advisor and conduct your own research to find a great nursing program for you.
Nursing Graduate Schools and Accreditation
Nursing graduate schools may be accredited regionally or nationally as institutions. They could also have individual programs that are approved. Two agencies devoted to accreditation in the nursing field are the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). The CCNE is affiliated with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN).
Accreditation is a voluntary peer review that ensures that certain standards are met and that a school is accountable to maintain them. Students who pursue national certification may need to show that they graduated from an accredited program to be eligible to take board exams.i
Masters in Nursing Programs and MSN Schools
The Master of Science in Nursing degree program (MSN) is designed to build and broaden the knowledge and skills of registered nurses. MSN programs are also intended to serve as the educational platform for those nurses who want to pursue advanced positions in today's complex healthcare environment.i
Some MSN schools offer Masters in Nursing programs that base their course of study on the American Association of Colleges of Nursing Master's Essentials. These often integrate courses in core nursing theories with advanced practice concepts and practicums based on the chosen area of emphasis. While not a complete list, some of the basic MSN courses could draw from the examples listed below. Refer to individual nursing schools to read about their curriculum.
- Role of the Advanced Practice Nurse
- Analysis of Current Scientific Research
- Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
- Healthcare Policy and Ethics
- Informatics and Technology
Admissions to MSN Schools
Applicants to an MSN school might need to hold a current and valid RN license in the state where they seek to complete their program. Many nursing graduate schools also require applicants to pass a background check, child abuse clearing and drug screen. Other requisites vary but could include a CV, personal interview, references, an essay, clinical experience and GRE scores. When it comes to your undergraduate background, there are several options. These are often presented as follows.
- Traditional MSN programs are designed for students who have earned their bachelor of science in nursing degree at an accredited nursing school.
- RN to MSN or BSN to MSN bridge programs are usually designed for Registered Nurses who have an associates degree or a BA/BS degree in a field other than nursing. Some graduate nursing schools may award both the MSN and BSN degree, while others simply cover related coursework. Contact schools for details.
- Entry-level nursing programs are designed to prepare candidates whose bachelor degree is in a non-nursing area to pursue nursing licensure (take the NCLEX exam) and their MSN degree.
Doctorate Nursing Programs and DNP Schools
Nursing graduate schools that offer doctorate nursing programs might offer either a PhD in Nursing or a Doctor of Nursing Practice track. Per the AACN, most research-focused doctoral programs grant the Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD), while a small percentage offers the Doctor of Nursing Science degree (DNS, DSN, or DNSc). PhD in Nursing programs are designed to prepare nurse scientists and scholars, and focus heavily on research methodology. They also typically require students to complete and defend a dissertation or linked research paper.
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Programs
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree is a terminal and practice-oriented doctorate degree. The primary aim of DNP programs is to prepare nurse leaders at the highest level who might work to improve patient care and be able to translate research into clinical practice. Based on a position statement by the AACN, the DNP may also soon replace the masters degree as the level of preparation necessary for advanced practice nursing.ii
Many DNP schools base their curriculum on eight essential areas of study designed by the AACN to represent key components for advanced nursing practice. Quite broadly, these areas touch on several themes.
- Scientific Bases for Practice (e.g. human biology, genomics, psychosocial sciences)
- Systems Thinking
- Clinical Scholarship
- Patient Care Technology
- Health Care Policy
- Population Health
Beyond these topics, students take courses that expand on clinical skills in their chosen area. Then, at the end of their program, rather than a research dissertation, students are usually expected to complete a DNP project.
Admission to DNP Schools
There are two main entry-paths to the DNP degree. Admission requirements do vary between the two. Basics such as criminal background check, resume, work experience, letters of reference, an essay and transcripts are some of the general supportive documents that you might be asked for.
- BSN to DNP programs are designed for active RNs who have their bachelor of science in nursing.
- MSN to DNP programs are intended for students who have their master of science in nursing, a current RN license and an APRN certification.
Nursing Certificates and Schools
Nursing graduate certificates could provide nurses with the opportunity to further refine their nursing practice in a chosen field. Certificates typically provide a course curriculum that is shorter than a full degree and targets a specific skillset. Some nursing graduate schools offer certificates as stand-alone credentials but you could also find certificates that are to be taken in conjunction with a graduate degree.
Post-MSN certificates could help current APRNs gain new clinical competencies and apply evidence-based practices. These programs are often designed to help nurses prepare for additional certification exams. For instance, those who earn a post-masters psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner certificate could be prepared to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certification exam.
Post-bachelors certificates are sometimes earned alongside a DNP degree. For instance, in some schools, students might be enrolled in a program such as an DNP Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner or DNP Family Primary Care Nurse Practitioner track. They might then have the option to add on a certificate in HIV care.
Take the Next Step Towards Graduate Nursing School
You are ready for advanced nursing practice and excited to study in-person with other nurses. The next step is to choose an on-campus nursing program. Use the menu to find nursing graduate schools in a specific location. Filter by degree level – MSN degrees, DNP degrees, or nursing certificates. Then refine by nursing specialty – nurse practitioner, nurse educator etc. Each set of filters could generate a list of programs. Found a few you like? Great! Use the forms we provide to contact schools directly. Take the next step now!

|Vote for fanonbending
Overview Edit
Set in a world that bares resemblance to the time of the Ancient Egyptians, Egypt is divided in the four nations, with the great river Nile running through the country and this story. Three months before her coronation as Fire Lord, Princess Lostris finds herself suppressed by Lord Naja, Grand Vizier of the Fire Nation and her legal guardian until she comes to age. With Taita at her side, Lostris is forced to meet him head on if she wants to keep the throne. A clash of political power and the blood-given right to rule will determine the fate of the world.
When the dark truth about her past is revealed, Lostris is forced to rediscover herself. Meeting friend and foe, trust and betrayal, peace and war, Lostris embarks on a journey towards destiny.
Main characters Edit
- Lostris Tamose: She is the stubborn Crown Princess of the Fire Nation; forced under the rule of her regent and struggling to maintain her own will, she has trouble with people telling her what to do. Despite Naja's actions and the hardship, Lostris's kind hearted and loving personality makes her liked by the people of her nation.
- Taita: First the servant of Queen Amanra, who he loved deeply, he now serves her daughter, offering her wisdom and friendship when needed. He is a skilled physician and artist, with a reputation that precedes him in the world.
- Tanus Harrab: Blessed with great physical strength, Tanus had quickly risen through the ranks of the Fire Nation Army, becoming the youngest captain of the Royal Fire Guard the nation had ever seen. Proud, just, honest and loyal, Tanus would do anything to protect those that need him.
- Meren Cambyses: Second in command after Tanus, he is best friends with his captain. Bluntly honest, Meren likes to tease people. He's loyal and strong, a clever tactician, and a great friend.
- Seraphine Apepi: Daughter of a general, she has been raised in the army, and as a firebending wonder, she can't resist the thrill of a challenge. She has inherited the full measure of her mother's celebrated beauty and wears her heart on her sleeve.
- Naja: Once the right hand general of Fire Lord Tamose, Naja is the grand vizier, the highest political function in the Fire Nation, and the regent of the under-aged princess. Unmatched as a firebender, Naja is ruthless in dealing with those who cross him. Having a hidden agenda, he will do whatever it takes to claim power.
- Intef: Naja's right hand and the commander of the Fire Nation's armies. There is nothing he would not do, no act so reckless, that he would not undertake willingly to hasten Naja's ascension to the summit of power, the throne of the Fire Nation.

News and subscription Edit
For more news and details concerning my fanon, go here.
Important message Edit
Although the main character of the fanon and the author share the same (nick)name, they are not intended to be the same person; the author is not writing a story about herself. The usage of the name "Lostris" is a testimony of the author's love for the book "River God" written by Wilbur Smith. The author fell in love with the setting, the character and the story of Lostris, and has used that name ever since as an alias if needed. Using the name now for the main character came naturally as the story is heavily inspired and influenced by Smith's books.
Egyptian influences Edit
Even though the world knows bending, the story is set in a time resembling that of the Ancient Egyptians, because I am fascinated by their culture. The Ancient Egyptian culture worshiped a multitude of deities, so as the story merged with the Avatar influence, these gods were transferred to spirits; some of the well known Egyptian gods will pass the revue as a spirit. The river Nile has always played a huge role in the life of the Egyptians, and it will do so as well in the lives of the characters in the story.
Much to the annoyance of one of my editors, Seliah Jade, a graduated historian with ancient cultures as specialty, I have used my artistic freedom to change some key elements in history to make the story flow better.
Author's notes Edit
This is my first written story ever, especially in English. The foundations of the story came to be after I had read River God, back in 2005. Mesmerized by Smith's words and nothing better to do during my summer job, I started to fantasize side stories featuring the main characters of the book. When I rediscovered Avatar: The Last Airbender later that year, the elements soon merged and formed the story which later would be known as "Heiress of the Nile".
Source of inspiration Edit
- Wilbur Smith's "River God" and "Warlock": These two books, the former being my all time favorite, have laid the base for the story. A lot of the setting, names, and customs are inspired by one of these books, so I hereby would like to give Wilbur Smith the credit for the following names: Lostris, Taita, Tanus, Meren, Intef, Naja, Apepi, Tod, Tamose, and Memnon. (More names may be added to the list when the story progresses.)
- Avatar: The Last Airbender: Obviously, ATLA plays a huge part in the story as it revolves around bending and the Avatar. Being rubbish with thinking of names, I have made it easy for myself and borrowed some names of the show now and again, but the character that sports the name has nothing to do with the show's namesake. As writing went on, I realized that ATLA has sunk deeper into my subconscious than I thought and I've unknowingly written some scenes that bear close resemblance to scenes from the series. This was often unintended, but after I realized what I wrote, I sometimes exploited the occasion and gave the character a line that was used in the series. This will be pointed out in the trivia section of the relevant chapter if it occurs.
- Disney: Disney movies just rule. I love Disney, and there will be plenty of references, some more subtle than others, in my chapters.
- The Ultimate Waterbender with her When Air Nomads Walked the Earth: Unintentionally, Ultimate has inspired me more than she knows with her story; she was a true inspiration for me to do better and due to her usage of vivid, descriptive and colorful words, I have rewritten the story multiple times. My writing would never have become what it is now were it not for her story, so I truly thank her.
- Theavatardemotivator and her A Bird Could Love a Fish: I like to use metaphors, and after reading TAD's beautiful story, it made me reinvent the metaphors I was already using, to make them more descriptive, more meaningful. Everything I've learned from using metaphors comes from reading ABCLAF.
- Seliah Jade and her being awesome: Having talked a lot about the story with her, she has become a true help for when I'm stuck. Her vast knowledge about the Egyptian culture always comes in handy as well.
Thank yous Edit
- I'd like to thank my three editors, Seliah, TAD and ARG, as without them, Heiress of the Nile would be infested with so many spelling and grammar mistakes, even Grammar Ozai would die of a heart attack by just witnessing the error infestation.
- French Froglegs for coming up with the name of the story.
- Theavatardemotivator for helping me to adapt the logo of Smith's Warlock to fit this story.
- The Ultimate Waterbender and Seliah Jade for the reasons mentioned above.
- AvatarRokusGhost for the coding layout of the reception section, and Master Ratava for the navbox coding.
- Wilbur Smith, for "letting" me "borrow" so many elements from his book. The same goes for Mike and Bryan. Seriously, thank you guys, you rock.
- My readers, as a story is nothing without its readers.

Scott Pilgrim vs the DLC Delay
Another delay has hit Ubisoft's planned Scott Pilgrim vs. The World downloadable content, pushing it to sometime in 2013.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World released back in 2010, not coincidentally around the same time as the Universal movie of the same name. The downloadable game however, shared more in common with Bryan Lee O'Malley's original comic book vision than it did the films.
New downloadable content was announced for the game, featuring Scott's roommate Wallace Wells and online multiplayer, was originally supposed to release in August. Of course, that release date got pushed, and with the end of 2012 fast approaching, many were wondering just where this new playable character was. After rumors of the DLC's cancellation made the rounds, Polygon discovered Ubisoft was still planning to release the content. Just not until 2013.
There's still no confirmed set date in mind, but at least Ubi is still planning to release it eventually. When it does finally arrive for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the add-on will cost $5.

Watch how to make this recipe.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute red pepper and onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add corn, red pepper flakes, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to incorporate and saute for 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and add the cilantro. Preheat a long, 2-burner cast iron griddle, or a large saute pan over medium heat. Lay 2 tortillas on a work surface and spread each evenly with refried black beans. Place tortillas, bean side up, on the griddle (begin with 1 if using a saute pan). Sprinkle onion-red pepper mixture evenly over the top of each, then sprinkle evenly with the cheese. Cover with another tortilla coated with refried black beans and cook until cheese melts, about 4 minutes. Flip quesadillas to toast the other side. Slice each quesadilla into 8 wedges, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with Lime-Cilantro Sour Cream.
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together until combined. Season, to taste, with salt if needed.

3.1 Law or regulation on herbal medicines
In the survey form, reference was made to the previous definitions of laws and regulations provided for TM/CAM. Herbal medicines have been defined above in the Introduction. In addition, in some countries, animal and mineral materials may be present in herbal medicines.
Member States were asked whether laws or regulations existed for herbal medicines; if they replied yes, follow up questions asked for the year of issue of such laws or regulations, and the type of law or regulation. The options for the type of law or regulation included the same law or regulation as for conventional pharmaceuticals, a separate law or regulation for herbal medicines, or a law or regulation partly the same as for conventional pharmaceuticals.
Survey responses indicate that a majority of responding Member States (92 countries, 65%, Figure 12) have laws or regulations on herbal medicines.
Figure 12. Laws or regulations on herbal medicines
Information provided by 77 of the responding Member States about the year of issue of the law or regulation indicates clearly that the development of laws and regulations on herbal medicine is a recent phenomenon (Figure 13). Over the last 15 years, the number of Member States with laws and regulations on herbal medicines has increased dramatically. The highest number of laws and regulations on herbal medicine were issued between 1996 and 1999.
Figure 13. Number of Member States with laws or regulations on herbal medicines, by year
Responses from those Member States having laws or regulations governing herbal medicine largely indicate that these are similar to laws or regulations on conventional medicine (see Figure 14). As responding Member States were able to choose all categories of law or regulation as required, the total number of answers in the chart below exceeds the number of respondents. As many Member States have more than one law or regulation pertaining to herbal medicines, many Member States indicated more than one category for the type of law or regulation. The total number of Member States which responded to this question was 91.
Figure 14. Type of law or regulation on herbal medicines
Finally, Map 6 below illustrates the Member States responding to the Global Survey which have laws or regulations on herbal medicines.

Combating Fatigue: Being Tired All the Time Is NOT Normal
Feeling "tired all the time," constant exhaustion, struggling with morning fatigue that leads to extreme tiredness and makes you want to crawl back into bed, and needing an energy drink or venti dark roast as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up oftentimes signify an underlying problem or more often, problems.
Chronic fatigue is not normal, and usually you can detect underlying culprits that roadblock you from steady, sustained energy.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Extreme tiredness is epidemic today, fueled by our get-more-done mentality coupled with poor lifestyle choices including insufficient sleep, excessive stress, a bad diet, and nutrient deficiencies.
At its worst, extreme fatigue manifests as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which occurs when someone feels tired most of the time, and that fatigue has lingered longer than six months.
Even with sufficient rest, if you have chronic fatigue syndrome, you still feel excessive tiredness. Physical and mental exertion feels like a herculean chore, and when you do exert yourself, symptoms like muscle weakness, headaches, mental fatigue, joint point, and fever only get worse.
Chronic fatigue syndrome can persist for years. Doctors remain baffled about what causes this condition, and we have no tests to officially diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome. To make matters more confusing, chronic fatigue is a symptom of many illnesses, so ruling out other conditions can become a challenge.
But practitioners can narrow down the culprits. Beyond chronic fatigue lasting longer than six months, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classifies chronic fatigue syndrome as having at least four of the following physical symptoms:
- Post-exertional malaise (a massive energy crash that would only be minor in non-CFS sufferers)
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Impaired memory or concentration
- Muscle pain
- Polyarthralgia (joint pain but without inflammation)
- Sore throat
- Tender lymph nodes
- Headaches
Chronic fatigue syndrome can only be diagnosed when other disease processes have been ruled out, but that's the problem: Fatigue overlaps with many other conditions.
Why chronic fatigue syndrome occurs is unclear and complex. Researchers surmise immune or adrenal dysfunction, genetics, or a history of childhood trauma. Depression, pain, and sleep disturbances frequently occur with chronic fatigue syndrome.
If you suspect chronic fatigue syndrome, you should find a practitioner who can uncover underlying issues that contribute and also shows sympathy about your condition.
Unfortunately, patients sometimes feel frustrated they haven't been able to get answers from their doctors or online research. They might see symptoms like chronic fatigue as "in their head" or that they lack motivation or willpower. That's not true, and don't let any healthcare professional – or anyone, for that matter – let you feel that way.
Causes of Extreme Fatigue
Many people struggle with fatigue, which has many causes; some obvious, others not so much. Causes of chronic fatigue include inadequate sleep, a bad diet, insufficient exercise, and metabolic and hormonal imbalances. A vicious cycle ensues as fatigue impacts these issues, which in turn worsen your fatigue.
Fatigue management requires a multifactorial approach that begins by finding the root cause or causes of your "tired all the time" feeling. Among those causes, which sometimes overlap and exacerbate each other, include:
- Adrenal burnout (that requires adrenal fatigue treatment)
- Thyroid imbalances
- Other hormonal imbalances like testosterone and cortisol
- Being a perfectionist (talk about a massive energy drainer!)
- Being around overly critical or negative people
- Food sensitivities (especially if you feel fatigue after eating)
- Mitochondrial dysfunctions – mitochondria are those little power plants in your cells. Malfunctioning mitochondria can create massive energy crashes.
- Over-exercise – a good workout leaves you feeling invigorated. Overdoing exercise can have the opposite effect, creating chronic fatigue that zaps your energy and drive.
- Toxicity – including things like environmental pollutants but also less-obvious toxins including mold, mercury from amalgams, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from electronics.
This list goes on, and oftentimes multiple factors create or exacerbate fatigue. Again, please see a chiropractor or other healthcare professional who can pinpoint and eliminate underlying causes of fatigue.
On the other hand, chronic fatigue might result from one primary culprit like poor sleep, stress management, a bad diet, or not getting the right nutrients. See if these five strategies help increase energy levels. (As a "bonus," they'll provide many other benefits.)
How to Combat Fatigue
1. Eliminate sugar and processed foods.
Eat a candy bar and see how your energy levels pan out 15 minutes later. Better yet, bypass this science experiment altogether. Sugar and other quick-fix carbohydrates give you a little shot of energy but at a huge expense: Those blood sugar spikes nosedive quickly, leaving you feeling drained. If nixing sugar completely feels like a herculean task, gradually trade it for lower-sugar foods and transition off sugar. Instead of those afternoon pretzels, for instance, have a handful of nuts.
2. Reduce or eliminate potential energy thieves.
That late-morning dark roast might give you a temporary boost, but if you metabolize caffeine poorly or use caffeine as a crutch for things like bad sleep, coffee can backfire on your energy levels. Ditto alcohol, which might assuage your nerves but leave you drained or mentally foggy a few hours later. If you suspect these or other substances might create fatigue, track your intake and how you feel several hours later in a journal.
3. Get 8 – 9 hours of sleep nightly.
In his book Adrenal Fatigue, Dr. James Wilson recommends going to bed before 10:30 PM and stay in bed until 9:00 AM. That's not always possible, but getting at least eight hours of deep, rejuvenating sleep can do wonders to reverse chronic fatigue.
4. Exercise smartly.
Spending hours at the gym isn't doing your chronic fatigue levels any good. The most effective way to exercise and increase your energy is through the high-intensity interval training (HIIT). These short, intense "bursts" give you quite a workout and an invigorating post-workout energy.
5. Find your ways to reset your energy button.
For some people, taking 20 minutes during the afternoon for meditation can feel like recharging your phone battery. Maybe yoga or deep breathing is your thing. Even pausing for a minute or two and focusing on your breath (you can find some cool apps for that) can help steady energy levels and zap fatigue.
Chronic fatigue can hijack your health and happiness. No problem carries a one-size-fits-all solution, and that especially proves true here. Working with a chiropractor or functional-medical practitioner can help pinpoint the underlying problems that create chronic fatigue. While the process isn't always easy – it might involve things like testing, nutrients, and lifestyle modifications – reclaiming steady, sustained energy and feeling vibrant is possible for even the hardest-to-treat chronic fatigue cases. You never need to settle with constantly feeling lethargic.

Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Owner and Ironmaster
Clement Brooke was Hopewell ironmaster from 1816-1848 and part owner from 1827-1861. A good ironmaster had to be a combination of capitalist, technician, market analyst, personnel director, bill collector, purchasing agent, and transportation expert; Clement Brooke seems to have had all the necessary qualities. Liked and respected by his employees, his partners, and his customers, Brooke earned a reputation as one of the best ironmasters in Pennsylvania.
In 1800 at age 16, Brooke began his iron-making career as assistant clerk at Hopewell Furnace, which his father and uncles had recently purchased. He also worked part-time at night supervising the filling of the blast furnace. By the time he was 20, he had become the clerk and kept the records of all company operations. He followed that job with one as caretaker of the property, supervising general maintenance during a period when the furnace was not operating. He was also in charge of the stamping mill, which crushed slag to reclaim the small amounts of iron contained in it. Although he lacked formal education, his practical experience embraced all aspects of furnace operation. In 1816 he became resident manager and ironmaster at Hopewell Furnace with a salary of $600 a year plus rent-free use of the ironmaster's mansion. By 1827, he was part owner as well.
During Brooke's early years at Hopewell Furnace, the United States was embarking upon an era of economic expansion. Warfare between England and France during the first years of the 19th century, the Embargo Act of 1807, and the War of 1812 restricted access to imported products and encouraged the growth of domestic industries such as textile mills and ironworks. Once peace was restored, Congress enacted high tariffs to protect these "infant industries" from foreign competition. The Federal Government also encouraged "internal improvements," like turnpikes and canals, which made shipping industrial products to market quicker and cheaper. These changes combined with technical improvements made by the new owners to make Hopewell Furnace a highly profitable operation. Between 1820 and 1825, iron production nearly doubled. It had doubled again by the mid-1830s, the most productive and profitable period of Hopewell's history.
Much of Hopewell's success during the 1830s and '40s can be credited to Clement Brooke. He found new markets for the furnace's products and was responsible for the decision to concentrate on castings rather than pig iron. He purchased additional woodlands for charcoal and sought other sources of iron ore. He increased the labor force by half, expanding production without sacrificing quality. He enlarged the Big House (the ironmaster's mansion) to include room for 15 servants and for itinerant workers. He built more tenant houses; enlarged the company store, spring house, and barn; added a formal garden; and built a schoolhouse across the creek from the furnace.
In 1837, a financial panic led to a five-year depression. The furnace was just coming off the longest continuous blast in its history--from January 3, 1836, to April 10, 1837. At the same time, charcoal-fired iron furnaces were becoming obsolete, replaced by new ironworks that used hard coal to produce iron more efficiently. In 1844, probably because of declining demand and increasing costs, Clement Brooke ended large-scale stove-plate casting. During its last four decades, Hopewell mainly produced pig iron, for which demand was growing in a rapidly industrializing society. Although the furnace managed to turn a profit most years before it closed in 1883, it never again enjoyed the prosperity of the 1825-44 period.
Brooke retired as ironmaster in 1848, at age 64, and moved into a house in nearby Pottstown. He was a wealthy man for his time; besides his half share in Hopewell, he owned shares in five other furnaces and forges, had an interest in coal mines in Schuylkill County, and owned stock in several railroad companies. In 1859 he moved to Philadelphia, where he died two years later at the age of 76. Clement Brooke's association with Hopewell spanned more than half a century.
Questions for Reading 2
1. How did Clement Brooke become involved in the iron business?
2. In what ways did he improve Hopewell Furnace?
3. How did he contribute to the development of the Hopewell community?
4. How did national events affect Brooke and his employees?
5. Because Clement Brooke was part-owner as well as ironmaster at Hopewell Furnace, he was actively involved in both managing the day-to-day work of the furnace and making policy decisions about such things as investing in new land. Do you think combining these two roles would help the success of the furnace? Why or why not?

FMZ Digest
FMZ Digest was a science fiction fanzine by Arthur Louis Joquel II.
Pulbished in Los Angeles, California U.S.A., FMZ Digest, as the name implies, was a digest zine, reprinting notable stories and articles from fanzines published that year. It is believed to be the first fanzine digest to appear. "FMZ" was the early term used for "fan magazine", before the term "fanzine" came into general use. Six issues of FMZ Digest appeared in between February and October of 1941.
Contributors included Forrest J. Ackerman (Voice of the Imagi-Nation), Eustance C. Bilgewater, Ray Bradbury (Futuria Fantasia), Bowen Conway, Walter J. Daugherty, August Derluth, Donald J. Doughty, Fred W. Fischer, Lou Goldstone, Harold Gottliffe, J. Harvery haggard, Robert Lowndes, Allan Moss, Milton A Rothman, Clifford Simak, D.R. Smith, F. Orlin Tremaine, Bob Tucker (Le Zombie, and Art Widner (FanFare).
Illustrations appeared from Harry Turner.
FMZ Digest is of particular interest simply by virtue of its cover, which lists the names of 30 zines that were published at that time.

Summary View help for Summary
This study was designed as part of a multi-method assessment of Fighting Back, a community-based drug abuse prevention program funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Fighting Back was implemented in 14 medium-sized, primarily urban communities in 12 states. To assess whether the Fighting Back program led to changes in alcohol and other drug (AOD) patterns and attitudes, the evaluation conducted general population surveys of residents aged 16-44 in 12 Fighting Back program communities and 29 comparison communities. Conducted in three waves -- 1995, 1997, and 1999 -- these surveys constitute the Community Survey (Part 1). To provide comparative national trend data, the National Survey (Part 2) was administered, concurrently with the second and third waves, to a national sample of the non-rural general population aged 16-44 using the same survey instrument as the Community Survey. The strategy for question design was to replicate previously validated questions from national surveys of substance use and dependency, including the National Household Survey of Drug Abuse, the National Comorbidity Study, and the Monitoring the Future study of American youth. Respondents reported their AOD use, their friends' AOD use, their attitudes about AOD use, how their friends felt about AOD use, and their perceptions of drug sales, crime, and other aspects of their neighborhood. In addition, the surveys collected information on volunteerism, crime victimization, health and mental health, knowledge and utilization of AOD treatment services, attendance in drug education courses or lectures in school, and opinions on marijuana legalization. Background variables include sex, race, Hispanic origin, household composition, marital/cohabitation status, education status and achievement, employment status, occupation, religious preference, religiosity, and income.

Synthetic biology: Coming up fast!
|(Nanowerk News) Synthetic biology is being touted by scientists and venture capitalists as "the next big thing." Researchers claim to be on the brink of creating artificial life in a laboratory and making the world's first synthetic microbes. The first blockbuster synbio drugan affordable cure for malariais expected on the market by 2010. And a whole new biofuels industry spawned by synthetic biologists that promises to conquer the globe's energy problems seems just around the corner.
|But will the promises and pitfalls of synthetic biology catch governments, ethicists, biosafety and biosecurity experts, and the public by surprise? Denise Caruso, former New York Times columnist and longtime analyst of technology-based issues and industries, will explore this question with the Center for American Progress's Rick Weiss. Caruso is the author of Intervention: Confronting the Real Risks of Genetic Engineering and Life on a Biotech Planet (2006). Weiss recently left The Washington Post after a distinguished career as one of the country's foremost science journalists.
|Synthetic biology is an emerging area of research that uses advanced science and engineering to make or redesign living organisms, such as bacteria, so that they can carry out specific functions. The Rathenau Instituut describes the field as the convergence of molecular biology, information technology and nanotechnology, leading to the systematic design of biological systems.

Civil War Termination
Caroline A. Hartzell
Civil wars typically have been terminated by a variety of means, including military victories, negotiated settlements and ceasefires, and "draws." Three very different historical trends in the means by which civil wars have ended can be identified for the post–World War II period. A number of explanations have been developed to account for those trends, some of which focus on international factors and others on national or actor-level variables. Efforts to explain why civil wars end as they do are considered important because one of the most contested issues among political scientists who study civil wars is how "best" to end a civil war if the goal is to achieve a stable peace. Several factors have contributed to this debate, among them conflicting results produced by various studies on this topic as well as different understandings of the concepts war termination, civil war resolution, peace-building, and stable peace.
Pro-Government Militias and Conflict
Sabine C. Carey and Neil J. Mitchell
Pro-government militias are a prominent feature of civil wars. Governments in Colombia, Syria, and Sudan recruit irregular forces in their armed struggle against insurgents. The United States collaborated with Awakening groups to counter the insurgency in Iraq, just as colonizers used local armed groups to fight rebellions in their colonies. An emerging cross-disciplinary literature on pro-government non-state armed groups generates a variety of research questions for scholars interested in conflict, political violence, and political stability: Does the presence of such groups indicate a new type of conflict? What are the dynamics that drive governments to align with informal armed groups and that make armed groups choose to side with the government? Given the risks entailed in surrendering a monopoly of violence, is there a turning point in a conflict when governments enlist these groups? How successful are these groups? Why do governments use these non-state armed actors to shape foreign conflicts whether as insurgents or counterinsurgents abroad? Are these non-state armed actors always useful to governments or perhaps even an indicator for state failure?
We examine the demand for and supply of pro-government armed groups and the legacies that shape their role in civil wars. The enduring pattern of collaboration between governments and these armed non-state actors challenges conventional theory and the idea of an evolutionary process of the modern state consolidating the means of violence. Research on these groups and their consequences began with case studies, and these continue to yield valuable insights. More recently, survey work and cross-national quantitative research contribute to our knowledge. This mix of methods is opening new lines of inquiry for research on insurgencies and the delivery of the core public good of effective security.

Until now, Balqisa has rarely had the chance to choose what food she and her family would eat. They are too poor, so they ate whatever they could find. WFP food vouchers are giving her and other vulnerable Afghan families the ability to decide what to put on the table. Watch video
JALALABAD, Afghanistan – When Balqisa entered a Jalalabad food shop last month, she experienced something entirely new – being able to choose what she and her children will eat.
"I've never had money to buy food before," she said. "I usually have to go from shop to shop, begging for each piece of bread."
With three children to feed, Balqisa's only source of income is what she can beg on the streets of the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad. For food, they depended entirely on the kindness of shopkeepers, who would give whatever scraps they had to spare.
"I have no family to help me," said Balqisa, who uses only one name. Now she has become among the first to enroll in a new WFP project, receiving a monthly voucher worth 1250 Afghani, or about $25, that she can exchange for food items in selected local shops.
Syria's mobile-based voucher system
See how refugees in Syria now access WFP food vouchers via an innovative, mobile-based electronic system.
For the first time, Balqisa knows her three children will not go hungry. "I'll still need to find money for the rent, but at least now we know there will be enough for us to eat," she said. The monthly food voucher also offers Balqisa something many people take for granted -- the ability to decide what to have for dinner. With her head held high, she walks into shops as a customer, not a beggar.
New business
Local shopkeepers are equally excited about the food vouchers, which will bring them new business. Thousands of people who once could not afford to buy food are now becoming regular customers.
WFP began distributing the first vouchers to 1,500 families in Jalalabad in February, following a successful pilot phase in Kabul. WFP plans to expand the project to other cities later this year, supporting a planned 30,000 beneficiaries in 2011. The scheme aims to help the poorest, most vulnerable urban families, prioritizing those led by widows and the disabled.
Nearly a third of Afghans struggle to get enough to eat. With food prices rising, the urban poor have been hit hard.
Not enough income
"One of my relatives has a job, but that income is not enough to meet our whole family's needs," said Hari Babrek, a 50-year-old blind man with a family of eight.
Day labourer Ghulam Rasool also struggles to feed his family of 12. "Whenever it rains, there's no work," he said. "Then all we can afford to eat is bread and tea."
"I'm really happy now," adds a smiling Rasool, who qualifies for the project because of his family's large size. "I can go into the shop and they'll give me what I want!"

After years apart, mother, daughter reunite
New London - Mary Radziwon has not had an easy life. She openly talks about her mental illness, her past addiction to crack cocaine, the mental breakdown she had after her husband left her 19 years ago, and the three daughters she has not seen since they went to live with their father in Arkansas in 1993.
She lives in a one-bedroom apartment in New London with her cat, Gigi, and has been unable to find work since a fire last year damaged the Snow White Laundromat in South Lyme, where she worked for six years.
But despite her struggles, Radziwon has always hoped that she would one day be reunited with her daughters, who were 5, 3 and 13 months old when they moved out of her life.
Then just before Thanksgiving, her youngest daughter, who is now 20, got off a Greyhound bus in New London.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, that's me at her age,''' Radziwon recalled during an interview at her Dell Avenue apartment.
She had not seen Autumn Radziwon, who sat smiling next to her mother on the couch recently, since she was a 1-year-old. Autumn said she grew up thinking her mother didn't want her.
Autumn, who is equally honest about her troubled past - she served time in juvenile detention for making a threat at school and was in trouble during her early high school years - was raised by her father and his second wife, whom she calls 'Mom.' But she said she always wondered about her "real mother." No one talked about the reasons why the children went to live with their father, she said.
"My father always told me they tried to call my mother but she never answered the phone,'' Autumn said. "He said my mother had issues. I always wondered if she wanted to get rid of us. If she missed us."
Two years ago, Mary said her therapist got in touch with her middle daughter through Facebook. Her eldest daughter was not interested in reuniting, Mary said.
She got Autumn's cell number and called and left a message.
Autumn, who had moved to Panama City, Fla., with her father and his third wife when she was a teenager, heard a voice mail message that said, "Hi. It's your mother.''
"I don't remember much else about the call,'' Autumn said. "I didn't know what to think. I'd only heard one side of the story for so long. But this was my mother. I knew she was up here (in Connecticut), but I never thought I would see her."
She said she decided she would be open and listen to what her mother had to say.
The two texted and talked on the phone for nearly two years.
About six months ago, after breaking up with a boyfriend, getting into a car accident and losing her job, Autumn called her mother and asked if the offer to come live with her was real. She arrived in New London with her boyfriend, 27-year-old William Smothers, a few days before Thanksgiving.
Although she didn't tell her father she was going to meet her biological mother, Autumn said when he found out, he told her she was an adult and could make her own decisions.
"He said, 'I hope you find what you're looking for,''' she said.
For now, mother and daughter are getting to know one another. Autumn and Smothers are engaged and looking for work. They want to get their own place but stay close to Mary.
They've already bought a ham for Christmas dinner and a Christmas tree - it's the first one Mary has had in four years. They hope to have enough money to exchange gifts, even if they're small.
"The first night they were here, we were looking at baby pictures, and she started to cry,'' Mary said of her daughter. "I knew then we were going to hit it off."
"It's a completely new life for us. A chance to start over. And I feel OK," Autumn said.
Smothers, who is working temporary jobs with Labor Ready, said he's grateful for all that Mary has done for them.
"I've lived in a lot of places, and this is most comfortable I've ever felt,'' he said.

Philosophy of language is the branch of philosophy that examines the nature of meaning, the relationship of language to reality, and the ways in which we use, learn, and understand language.
The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Language provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the field, charting its key ideas and movements, and addressing contemporary research and enduring questions in the philosophy of language. Unique to this Companion is clear coverage of research from the related disciplines of formal logic and linguistics, and discussion of the applications in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and philosophy of mind.
Organized thematically, the Companion is divided into seven sections: Core Topics; Foundations of Semantics; Parts of Speech; Methodology; Logic for Philosophers of Language; Philosophy of Language for the Rest of Philosophy; and Historical Perspectives.
Comprised of 70 never-before-published essays from leading scholars--including Sally Haslanger, Jeffrey King, Sally McConnell-Ginet, Rae Langton, Kit Fine, John MacFarlane, Jeff Pelletier, Scott Soames, Jason Stanley, Stephen Stich and Zoltan Gendler Szabo--the Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Language promises to be the most comprehensive and authoritative resource for students and scholars alike.
"Unusual in its scope and ambition, this Companion offers superbly clear and insightful essays by a judicious mix of eminent figures and up-and-coming scholars. In addition to the standard topics, it is particularly good to have state-of-the-art pieces on the relations between philosophy of language and the other main sub-fields of philosophy. An indispensable resource." –Paul Boghossian, New York University
"The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Language has all the virtues of a state-of-the-art collection: lucid articles on cutting-edge topics by leaders in the field, meticulous organization, beyond comprehensive. This book is, and will be for years to come, indispensable." –Robin Jeshion, University of Southern California
"Delia Graff Fara and Gillian Russell's selection of authors and topics is authoritative, imaginative, and cutting-edge. Both students and specialists will learn much from this volume. The essays are well-designed, substantial launch pads for further exploration." –Timothy Williamson, University of Oxford
"This is a stunningly wide-ranging collection packed with first-rate authors. I cannot think of anything else that comes near it both for breadth of coverage and for quality." –Jennifer Saul, The University of Sheffield
"[This book]excels at being a genuine companion resource, introducing readers not only to the background and core questions that define the philosophy of language, but also to the primary methodologies through which prominent contemporary perspectives on the philosophy of language have, and continue to be, developed. Though the essays in this volume are intended to introduce readers to an area of concern within the study of language, they offer a critical review of it rather than merely mapping the terrain. Thus the book constitutes an invaluable current resource for students and scholars alike. It will appeal to anyone interested in the current state-of-play within this important area of philosophical research. Summing Up: Highly recommended." -A.L.

Guy Gardner, a former NASA astronaut who piloted two shuttle missions aboard the orbiter Columbia, told an audience of about 50 men and women that he couldn't remember a time when he didn't want to be an astronaut. Gardner gave a video presentation about "Flying in Space" at the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill, 8855 Germantown Ave., on Thursday, Sept. 13, as part of the church's monthly Men's Luncheon and Speaker Series.
Even as a young child growing up in Virginia, he would sit for hours and read his science fiction magazines and dream of traveling into space. But in 1961, when Alan Shepard became the first American launched into space, Gardner's dream of becoming an astronaut became more than a childhood fantasy.
Gardner asked attendees to imagine themselves getting ready to blast off on the shuttle. He said he and his fellow astronauts looked like "orange Gumbies" wearing their orange, bulky, pressure suits as they climbed aboard the shuttle. Imagine being strapped to a seat bolted down to four million pounds of high explosive rocket fuel and then somebody lighting the fuse, Gardner said .
"There is a lot of shaking and vibrating as you are pushed back into your seat from the acceleration of six million pounds of rocket engine thrust," Gardner said.
Gardner said the sheer force of 3-Gs makes breathing hard, let alone attempting to pilot the space shuttle.
"Finally after eight and half minutes, you accelerate to a speed of 17,500 miles a hour (about five miles a second)," he said. "Now, imagine being up in orbit 200 miles above the planet as you float over to the window. What do you see?' It's not that picture of the blue ball floating in space. That's what the astronauts got to see on their way back from the moon."
Gardner said the space shuttle is only about "300 miles above this 8,000 mile diameter planet, so it fills your field of view."
"As you look down you can see all the different colors and the topography of the earth," he said.
He said at the speed of 17,500 miles a hour you can travel around the earth in 90 minutes. Gardner added that the sense of speed you experience is "not that great," noting that human beings judge speed by the rate of the angular change their looking at.
"That's why if feels like you're traveling a lot faster along a dirt country road at 40 miles a hour, as mailboxes and trees fly by you, then if you're out on the interstate at 65 miles a hour," he said.
The audience erupted in laughter when Gardner added the hardest part of being in space was getting up out of bed every 45 minutes. If you miss the sunset don't worry there will be another one in 45 minutes.
He said being up in space is like looking out the window of a commercial airliner and seeing the cities and towns going by, but instead of cities and towns you're looking at countries, continents and oceans.
"It is awesomely awesome to look at the Earth from space," Gardner said.
From their chairs in the auditorium attendees could imagine themselves looking out the window of the space shuttle as they saw photos of Greenland, the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the Tibetan Plateau, the Coast of Alaska, the Galapagos Islands, an active volcano in Japan, a hurricane, and many more breathtaking photos shot from space.
Gardner, who currently is president of the Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades in Media, described his experience in space as "exciting, fun, meaningful and awesome."
Gardner's new mission is helping to prepare underprivileged "deserving young men to be useful and respected members of society" by learning a trade in carpentry, masonry, paint and coatings technology, machine tool technology, power plant technology, and horticultural, landscaping, and turf management.
Following the video presentation, Gardner answered questions from the audience.
One attendee asked what he thought of the recent demise of the Space Shuttle program.
He replied, "it's about time."
"Personally, I think it was the right thing to do because of the risk associated with it and the expense," Gardner said. "The shuttle was simply a vehicle to get the parts of the space shuttle in orbit."
He described NASA's role in the space station as "being in the truck driving business."
"Now that the space station is complete and the space shuttle is retired, NASA can focus their efforts on exploration beyond the earth's orbit," Gardner said. "I think it's a very exciting time it just doesn't look that way because we're not putting people up in orbit as often."
He added that the space station still has a new crew of astronauts every six months and that NASA is considering extending that time to study the long-term effects of space travel.
When asked why the United States continues to spend money on the space station and space exploration, Gardner said, "I happen to believe as an individual if I am not moving forward and embracing new challenges then I am moving backwards."
Gardner ended the presentation by pointing out that you don't have to be an astronaut to have an "exciting, fun, meaningful and awesome" life you just have to have a "relationship with the creator of the universe."

Bulls' Deng to miss Game 7
Brooklyn, NY – Chicago Bulls forward Luol Deng is expected to miss Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Brooklyn Nets.
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said Saturday that Deng was still hospitalized in Chicago and did not make the flight to New York.
Deng sat out Game 6 on Thursday with flu-like symptoms, but the Chicago Tribune has reported that complications developed after he received a spinal tap on Wednesday.
In the first five games of the series, Deng averaged 13.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists.

But some of the Orcs looked...OFF. Some of the Warg riders looked very much like the Orcs you saw in LOTR, like guys in makeup & prosthetics. But Azog looked like he was completely CG to me. Which is weird, because I knew the actor who played Azog, but I couldn't recognize him. Was Azog like Gollum, a character who was done completely via motion capture? And there were at least a few other Orcs that looked that way, too.
Finally saw "The Hobbit". Liked it but it seemed like it was one third of a really long movie.................................
Quote from: GrandMoffNick on January 1, 2013, 06:40 PMFinally saw "The Hobbit". Liked it but it seemed like it was one third of a really long movie.................................That's exactly why I am tempted to wait till all three are available on bluray or wait till the last ones out then watch them all together

Snider helps Pirates down Reds in extras
Pittsburgh, PA – Travis Snider's two-out single in the bottom of the 11th inning drove in the deciding run and lifted the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-4, come-from-behind victory over the Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park.
The Pirates, shut out in each of the first two games of this series, overcame an early 4-0 deficit Sunday to avoid a sweep at the hands of their NL Central rival. Garrett Jones knotted the score at 4-4 with a two-run homer off Jonathan Broxton in the bottom of the eighth, while five Pittsburgh relievers teamed up for 10 scoreless innings after starter Jeanmar Gomez let up four runs in the first and exited with tightness in his right forearm.
"I can't give enough credit to the job that [Bryan] Morris and [Vin] Mazzaro, [Mark] Melancon, [Jason] Grilli and [Justin] Wilson [did] at the end," said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle. "What they were able to do, 10 scoreless innings, is quite, quite a feat."
Wilson (5-0) struck out three while working the final two frames to collect the win, with Snider and Andrew McCutchen each finishing with two hits and an RBI to aid the rally.
Zack Cozart went 2-for-6 with an RBI triple for Cincinnati, which mustered only five hits total after its four-run first.
Reds starter Mat Latos struck out seven while giving up just two runs on three hits through six innings. Alfredo Simon (4-2) was saddled with the loss after allowing the winning run to score unearned over a 2 2/3-inning stint.
Cincinnati appeared on its way to their first series sweep at PNC Park in over three years after carrying a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the eighth inning. However, McCutchen came through with a two-out single off Broxton, right before Jones hammered a ball that cleared the outside riverwalk and landed into the Allegheny river on a fly to tie the contest.
"I just put everything into the swing," said Jones afterward.
The game remained deadlocked into the 11th, when the Pirates were able to capitalize on an error by Cozart at short that enabled Russell Martin to reach first with one out.
Simon then walked Pedro Alvarez to move the potential winning run into scoring position. Following a flyout from Jordy Mercer, Snider dropped in a single into short right field, with the Reds' Jay Bruce's throw home well up the line as Martin slid in safely.
The Reds wasted little time in jumping out in front, with the game's first six hitters all reaching base against a scuffling Gomez during the four-run first.
After Gomez hit leadoff hitter Shin-Soo Choo with a pitch, Cozart drove his next offering deep into the gap in left center and hustled all the way to third. Joey Votto then drew a walk before Bruce shot a single through the right side to bring in Cozart for a 2-0 lead.
Jeff Frazier and Xavier Paul followed with base hits to knock in another run, with Bruce coming home on Devin Mesoraco's fly to left that resulted in the first out of the inning.
The Reds' bats went silent after the early outburst, however, with the relief duo of Mazzaro and Morris combining for six shutout innings to help the Pirates get back in it.
Latos had allowed just one hit -- Alvarez's solo homer over the right-field scoreboard in the second -- over his opening five innings of work. The Cincinnati starter proceeded to set down 10 of the next 11 hitters after the blast until Alex Presley began the bottom of the sixth with an infield hit.
Presley moved to second when Latos walked Starling Marte, and McCutchen singled two batters later to pull the Pirates within 4-2. It was the Bucs' first hit with a runner in scoring position since Martin's game-winning single in the 11th inning of Thursday's 1-0 decision over Detroit.
Pittsburgh threatened further after both Marte and McCutchen advanced on a wild pitch, but Latos kept it a 4-2 game by coming up with a big strikeout of Jones and retiring Martin.
The Reds loaded the bases with two down in the top of the eighth on a pair of singles and a walk issued by Melancon, who got Choo on a called third strike to avert any damage.
"We left too many runners on base, especially early," said Reds manager Dusty Baker. "We could have blown them out. We didn't get any two-out hits."
Game Notes
Jones' homer, estimated at 463 feet, was the first ball to reach the Allegheny River on a fly since Daryle Ward did so on July 6, 2002 ... Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips sat out the game with a bruised left forearm after being hit by a pitch in Saturday's matchup ... The Pirates improved to 4-1 in extra-inning games this season, while the Reds fell to 3-5 in such matchups ... Cozart is now batting .379 (11-for-29) during an eight-game hit streak.

Tektronix Inc., a manufacturer of oscilloscopes, announced the DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series of digital and mixed signal oscilloscopes that now deliver 100 GS/s sampling rate performance, enabling lower noise along with increased data points on 5x oversampled 20 GHz acquisitions. This over-sampling performance in a high bandwidth oscilloscope delivers significant real-world benefits, including more accurate signal integrity measurements for such high-speed serial standards as PCI Express Gen 3. Other enhancements include a new, faster compute platform and a more stable timebase, ideal for radar applications.
High-performance oscilloscopes with bandwidth of greater than 4 GHz are used in a variety of high-speed serial, wideband radar, fast optical communications systems, high-end embedded systems, and high-energy physics applications. As designs move to faster and faster data rates, the margin provided by the measurement system becomes a critical factor. The DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series, with its unprecedented 5x oversampling, delivers the performance and signal fidelity designers need to ensure that their latest cutting-edge components and systems meet design specifications.
"With few exceptions, the most important requirement for a high-performance oscilloscope is that it have a high sample rate that in turn leads to a lower noise floor and less jitter, thus providing a better performing instrument for signal integrity measurements," said Brian Reich, General Manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. "The DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series, with its 100 GS/s acquisition performance, gives our customers even more measurement margins that they can put to use today to increase their designs' performance levels and lower manufacturing costs."
Along with a two-fold increase in sampling rate compared to the "B" Series it replaces, the DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series features a faster compute platform. This new platform offers faster processing for longer data records such as jitter, noise, BER (bit error rate) measurements and statistics. Boot and application start up times are also significantly quicker.
"With the DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series Tektronix delivers performance in all the right places where it will help us characterize designs with more speed and precision," said Mark Marlett, Principal Engineer at Xilinx Inc. "With adequate oversampling, we get more data points in our measurement results to accurately understand rise time performance on fast signals. With the 70000 Series, we gain confidence using real data versus having to guess with lesser sampling rates."
In any digital oscilloscope, there is a strong correlation between sampling rate and internal noise -- a high sampling rate results in less noise which in turn leads to more margin for the user. As shown by extensive comparison testing, the DPO/DSA/MSO70000C Series with 100 GS/s operation delivers up to 20 percent reduction in noise compared to the 50 GS/s setting on the same instrument.
