PTSD 'Can Happen to Anyone — It's Not a Sign of Weakness' | LifeZette
PTSD 'Can Happen to Anyone — It's Not a Sign of Weakness'
The full story of the puzzling disorder, including symptoms, misconceptions and treatments
By Kaitlyn Schallhorn | June 9, 2017
The month of June is designated to bring awareness to post-traumatic stress disorder, a mental health problem that can afflict people following a traumatic event. Anyone who has experienced a traumatic event — an assault, accident or warfare, just to name a few — can experience symptoms of PTSD.
Read on to find out more about the disorder and how it is treated.
Is PTSD a problem in the U.S.? The National Center for PTSD estimates that 7 to 8 percent of the U.S. population will develop PTSD at some point in their lives. That means about 8 million adults will have PTSD during a given year, the center predicts.
More women than men — about 10 percent compared to 4 percent — develop PTSD, according to the National Center for PTSD.
"PTSD can happen to anyone. It is not a sign of weakness," the website says. "A number of factors can increase the chance that someone will develop PTSD, many of which are not under that person's control. For example, if you were directly exposed to the trauma or injured, you are more likely to develop PTSD."
What are some symptoms of PTSD? The National Center for PTSD lists four specific symptoms of PTSD but contends that symptoms may not be the exact same for everyone.
Those symptoms are:
Reliving an event which can result in flashbacks or nightmares.
Avoiding situations or conversations that can bring up that traumatic event.
Feeling abnormally negative, guilt, shame, disinterest in activities, distrustful of people, afraid or numb.
Feeling hyped up, jittery and always on alert.
What's a common misconception about PTSD? People can often go without treating the condition and instead "suffer in silence" because of a negative stigma attached with mental health conditions, including PTSD, according to Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein, president and CEO of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation.
"PTSD, similar to other psychiatric and medical conditions, is not the fault of the person who has the condition," Borenstein told Fox News. "Feeling embarrassed, feeling like you're at fault in some fashion, can be why people don't go and seek help."
"Many people are affected by it, in particular our returning service members. With appropriate treatments, people can get better," Borenstein said. "Often people end up suffering in silence rather than seeking help. And with help, people really do get better."
Borenstein said he classifies it as more of "prejudice" than a "stigma," however. "I think stigma in many ways is too soft of a word," he said. "There is a prejudice in our society toward people who are experiencing a mental illness."
But as more information about mental illnesses is being discovered and more people are publicly sharing their stories of dealing with mental health issues, "that prejudice and stigma is improving."

"But I think we still have a long way to go with that," he said.
So what kind of treatment options are available? The National Center for PTSD lists two main types of treatment: psychotherapy and medication. Psychotherapy is also considered to be counseling or talk therapy.
Dr. Elspeth Cameron Ritchie, a forensic psychiatrist who specializes in military and veterans' issues, told Fox News that one treatment that works for one person might not necessarily work for another.
"It's a treatable disorder," she said, adding that she encourages people who experience PTSD to explore their options when it comes to treatments.
Borenstein encouraged those who may think they have PTSD or loved ones who think a family member or friend has the disorder to talk to a trusted professional — such as a general practitioner, pastor or a friend or family member who would be able to give guidance.
When Vietnam veterans returned to the U.S., oftentimes service members were treated with disrespect or disregard.
He also suggested people search online for local resources available in one's community. "There are a variety of ways that people can get help that can make a big difference," Borenstein said. "There are effective treatments available."
Is there still a stigma with PTSD when it comes to the military? Ritchie said that the stigma associated with PTSD and seeking mental health has changed over the years — but not necessarily in a linear way.
The change has coincided with Americans' view on soldiers, she said. When Vietnam veterans returned to the U.S., oftentimes service members were treated with disrespect or disregard.
"Younger veterans are treated in a way that they can have a feeling in value of self as a soldier," Ritchie said.
But Ritchie said that it can be a challenge for younger veterans, in particular, to get help as "they don't like talking very much about traumatic events." For those people, Ritchie recommends alternative forms of therapy, such as exercise or art therapy.
And others may worry about seeking mental health treatment while in the military because it "can be pretty humiliating," she said.
Related: Veterans Shell-Shocked at PTSD Denial
"Many are worried about being put out of the military … or losing their security clearance," she added.
But older veterans, particularly Vietnam veterans, are seeking treatment now because an event or anniversary can trigger symptoms. As these veterans age, they could lose their spouse, settle into retirement or have a health issue that could spark PTSD symptoms, Ritchie said.
Borenstein said veterans could not want to seek help because of the perception.
"With people in the military who are heroes, who are able to tough things out and deal with very difficult circumstances, I think there is often a sense that they should tough this out too and not seek help but to deal with it on their own," he said. "In many ways, seeking help … obviously brings about better results, and in some ways being able to speak out about one's experiences and get that help is really not an act of cowardice, but a heroic act to help oneself."

Rapsody pays tribute to black women in "Ibtihaj" video
Roc Nation's first lady MC drops the star-studded visual to her second single.
By Murissa Barrington
Fresh off of her Eve album release date announcement, Rapsody is treating fans with a new star-studded music video. Directed by Jay Scorsese, "Ibtihaj" is a stunning tribute to hip-hop, black women, Muslims and of course, U.S. Olympic medallist Ibtihaj Muhammad (the first Muslim woman to wear a hijab while repping America at the Olympics). Women in boldly coloured hijabs strut the streets of Harlem and pull daring bike stunts while Rapsody casually spits her rhymes on the steps of a brownstone. The video also includes cameos from some of the NY's finest including Mary J. Blige and the first lady of rap Roxanne Shante.
The 9th Wonder produced tracks features vocals from D'Angelo and a head-bopping sample from GZA's "Liquid Swords." The legendary rapper also lent some bars to the song and appears in the video to perform it.
"Ibtihaj" is Rapsody's second single off of her upcoming album Eve set to release August 23rd. She recently revealed the tracklist for the album and has named each song after women that she admires including Serena Williams, Maya Angelou and more.

Pac-12 Weekly Five: 05.11.12 Edition
Posted by AMurawa on May 11th, 2012
We're at that time of the year when we the rosters start to solidify. Most of the key recruits have made their picks, and teams are beginning to add the finishing touches to their recruiting classes. For instance this week Washington State added junior college big man James Hunter, a guy who will have three seasons of eligibility in Pullman. Hunter is a raw work-in-progress, but he is a good athlete who runs the floor well and could be a good body for the Cougs in future years. Meawhile, Oregon got a commitment from combo guard Willie Moore, the sixth player signed by Dana Altman so far this season. Moore had originally committed to Duquesne, but was released from his letter of intent after the Dukes fired head coach Ron Everhart.
The signing of Moore leaves the Ducks with just one remaining scholarship for the 2012-13 season, and they're certainly hoping that they get good news about their seventh signee of the year in the coming days, as power forward Anthony Bennett, rated the seventh-best recruit in this class (by ESPNU) is expected to choose between Oregon and UNLV. Oregon is also still in the mix for Chris Obekpa, a center ranked in the top 100 recruits as well, meaning that Moore's signing likely indicates that the Ducks have received word that they're unlikely to land one or both of those players. And while some in the UO community seem pleased that the Ducks at least outlasted Kentucky and Florida on Bennett's list, taking second place in a recruiting battle is no win at all. Bennett is expected to announce his decision in the next week, although he is clearly in no hurry.
The other bit of intrigue remaining in the summer are the landing spots for the multitude of transfers still uncommitted. For Arizona State transfer Trent Lockett, that decision is already in the books, as last weekend he announced his decision to transfer to Marquette. Lockett, who has already earned his degree in business communications, wanted to be closer to his mother, who has been diagnosed with cancer.
Once all the 2012 commitments are complete, the next big thing around the conference will be the summer trips. UCLA announced its long-rumored trip to China this week, a venture that could accomplish plenty for both the team and the conference. Most important for the Bruins is the chance to get in extra work during the summer for a talented team chock-full of newcomers. Ben Howland will get a chance to put his team through 10 practices prior the team's flight to China on August 21. Once there, the Bruins will play a handful of Chinese teams that are expected to be "the equivalent of NCAA competition," according to Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott. The team will likely also get a crack at the Chinese national team during its visit. The other benefit of the trip is the beginning of Scott's master plan to take the Pac-12 brand to Asia. Scott expects that this will be the first of yearly trips by Pac-12 teams to China for similar summer events. Washington also announced it own plans for a summer international trip, with an itinerary that will take the Huskies to Spain, France, Monaco and Senegal. The visit to Senegal will be especially important, given that it is the home country of senior center Aziz N'Diaye. The Huskies will play one game in Senegal's capital, Dakar, as well as putting on several basketball clinics elsewhere in the country.
Lastly, a good story to read about. Utah senior guard Josh "Jiggy" Watkins was kicked off the Ute basketball team in January. But, instead of taking the easy route and quitting school, Watkins stuck around Salt Lake City and, last week, earned his bachelor's degree in sociology. Watkins and his mom met with Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak prior to the ceremony and Watkins admits that, while it was hard to have basketball taken away from him, he harbors no ill will towards his former coach and still thinks of him as a "great coach." Watkins now expects to pursue a professional basketball career overseas, and we here at RTC wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. It was a rough senior season basketball-wise for Watkins, but in the end, he finished off a major accomplishment. Well done, Josh.

Morning Five: 03.26.12 Edition
Posted by nvr1983 on March 26th, 2012
Duke could be in some trouble next year as Austin Rivers is deciding on whether or not to declare for the NBA Draft. On some level (a very selfish one), we would like to see Rivers stay in college to round out his game, which for all his talent and pedigree still has some holes in it. In the end, he is a definite lottery pick with good source of NBA intelligence on where he would get drafted (his father) so we can't criticize his decision if he decides to leave. We will note that this could be the second year in a row that Mike Krzyzewski has had a star point guard go one-and-done, which is something a certain coach in the Final Four gets criticized for all the time.
Rivers grabbed most of the early entry headlines over the weekend, but Damian Lillard is certainly worth some attention as the Weber State point guard will attract a lot of attention from NBA teams in the mid- to late first round as the junior appears to be on the verge of entering the NBA Draft. While he lacks the amazing scoring ability of Rivers, he does have a point guard skill that Rivers lacks–passing. If Lillard enters the Draft, there will surely be some team interested in picking up a quality guard even with the relatively high number of quality point guards already in the NBA.
After a relatively brief search, Nebraska named Tim Miles as its new head coach. Miles, who was most well-known among casual college basketball fans for tweeting at halftime of games while at Colorado State, signed a five-year deal with an option for a sixth year that starts at $1.4 million and goes up by $75,000 per year. Interestingly, one of the things that helped convinced Nebraska to hire Miles was that he choose to take less money for himself so he could have more to spend on assistants. Miles will need all the help he can get competing in the Big Ten with a team that will probably be worse next season than the one he left behind at Colorado State.
The writing was on the wall when three players announced that they were transferring and on Friday Duquesne fired Ron Everhart after six seasons. During his tenure, Everhart went 99-89 after inheriting a program that went 3-24 the year before, but in a letter to the school's board members that was leaked the school cited concerns about hitting a plateau and how the transfers indicated the program was not moving in the right direction. Although Everhart has never made the NCAA Tournament in 18 seasons he does have a 273-261 career record so we would be surprised if he did not at least end up with a solid assistant coaching spot if not a head coaching position in the near future.
Shabazz Muhammad, one of the top two recruits in this year's class, has set his decision date for his college choice on April 10. The date is significant for a couple of reasons. The main one is that Signing Day is the next day and it is also the day the using the new conventional method that early entry applicants for the NBA Draft will have to announce their status. While Muhammad would appear to be a prize recruit, there are still questions about his eligibility with regards to his interaction with two independent financial advisers, who assisted him with unofficial visits and supported his AAU team.

Atlantic 10 Tournament Preview & Season Wrap-Up

Tournament Glance
Postseason Preview
All first round games will be played at the campus of the higher seed on Tuesday (3/6) night. Using the log5 calculation, the order of probability of an upset is:
#8 Massachusetts/#9 Duquesne (73-27)
#7 La Salle/#10 Richmond (76-24)
#6 Dayton/#11 George Washington (86-14)
#5 Saint Joseph's/#12 Charlotte (84-16)
Probability follows seed this season, a departure from previous seasons. The Dayton/George Washington game will be a return engagement. The Flyers beat the Colonials by 16 at home last Saturday. A rookie coach with a team that may be overconfident could spell upset. But unlike 2010-11, the higher seeds in this round have proven over the last 16 games to be the stronger teams. Seed should hold. If Xavier, Saint Joseph's and Dayton all win at least once more, the conference will boast seven 20-game winning programs for the 2011-12 season, only the second time in conference history when seven members collected 20 or more wins.
The Temple/Saint Bonaventure side of the bracket offers (if seed holds) two interesting quarterfinal matchups for a Friday afternoon. Both could well become "do-overs" of games played in the last week of the season. Temple barely beat Massachusetts (at the Liacouras in Philadelphia) on February 29, but only after an overtime period. Neither squad should need much by way of motivation. The Hawks dropped their last game of the regular season to the Bonnies, by five, on the road. A Bonnies win would bolster their NIT credentials (and put them into a winnable semi-final game with either Temple or Massachusetts), while a Saint Joseph's win could well set-up an all-Philadelphia semi-final that should cause a traffic jam as Big 5 fans and partisans of both schools pile onto the Atlantic City Expressway to see the rubber game.

Editor's Note: Report written before Tuesday's contests.
The Week That Was:
Does Anyone Want to Win This Conference?
One of the odder turns this late in the season is the sudden spate of losses suffered by upper division conference teams. Though Charlotte bounded out of the gate with two quick wins and Xavier stumbled mysteriously for much of January, the conference appeared on the way to sorting itself as January turned into February. Not so last week as the two conference elites, Temple and Saint Louis each dropped a game. Temple's loss may be understandable as Saint Joseph's is putting together a great turnaround from last season, but Saint Louis stumbled against bottom dweller Rhode Island, a squad that posted 20 losses before St. Valentine's Day. The conference's flagship program, Xavier, was in the midst of a late season push when they dropped a very important road decision to Massachusetts last Tuesday. Other notable late season hiccups, Saint Joseph's loss to a young Richmond squad, La Salle's three game losing streak (which has all but eliminated the Explorers from NIT consideration) and the aforementioned Massachusetts squad, whose win over Xavier is the only win in the last four games.
Fran Dunphy's Temple Squad Stumbled Last Week, But The Owls Still Look To Be The Top Team In the A-10 (AP)
Early season results hinted that the middle of the conference was stronger this season, a theory born out by the continued uncertainty over bye bids to Atlantic City even into the last week of conference play. The resurgence is not limited to the middle of the conference however. Consider that in each of the last two seasons the bottom two teams in the conference combined to win four games. This season Fordham and Rhode Island have combined for six wins, with at least one more before the seeds for the conference tournament are finalized Sunday. I have also noted several times over the last month that the points per possession margin between Saint Louis (at the top) and Fordham (at the bottom) is much closer than last season.
With a loss to Saint Joseph's last weekend Temple dropped back towards the rest of the conference, leaving Saint Louis virtually alone at the top with a wide, +0.04 margin in points per possession. Comparing the statistics to the Billikens' conference record (and especially the record of late), leaves one wondering if Saint Louis' Top 25 status (as suggested by Pomeroy) is the product of an illusion fostered by the numbers or a genuine sleeper going into the postseason. The conference tournament may be the last best chance to gauge the Billikens before the NCAA opening rounds.
The results last week produced a few strange late season upsets, but even more surprising is that the point per possession margins are beginning to align more consistently with conference records. Teams with losing records show negative point per possession margins, an expected pattern in theory that does not always play out in practice. Saint Louis continues to be an outlier atop the conference and Massachusetts, which has an 8-6 conference record should, according to the Pythagorean Winning Percentage, show a 7-7 record through 14 conference games.
The top teams developed a ripping case of hiccups at just the wrong time. If the power rankings do not look terribly different from last week however, consider that they all hiccupped at the same time. Saint Bonaventure moved up and La Salle crashed, but the other teams moved very little over the past week.
Temple (22-6, 11-3 #23 AP) – Temple went 1-1 last week, beating La Salle in overtime by a single point (80-79), and then dropping a 10-point decision to Saint Joseph's (82-72) and holding onto their Top 25 ranking for the second consecutive week. Though the result was disappointing to the Owl faithful and prevented Temple from clinching the #1 seed in the conference tournament, it was actually better than Ken Pomeroy predicted. The college basketball stats sage's model had Fran Dunphy's squad losing both games (and dropping into second place behind Saint Louis). Games with Massachusetts (at home) and Fordham will close out the regular season for the Owls, and both should be wins (though stranger things have happened this season). Temple can finish no worse than #2 even if they lose their last two, so they have a bye seed in hand right now. The Minutemen, with dwindling hopes for a bye seed themselves, come to Philadelphia for a February 29 date at the Liacouras. Read the rest of this entry »

Note: Standings are up-to-date but games earlier in the week have already taken place
Points per Possession Margins Through February 19
Ken Pomeroy has shown Saint Louis as the top team since late December, but college basketball's stats guru looks at an overall margin as an indirect part of his formulation. For the past four weeks Temple posted the largest positive margin derived from conference games.
Saint Louis and Temple were not the only two squads whose conference points per possession margins moved closer to alignment with their overall numbers. Count Richmond among those whose skew was rectified last week. The Spiders stubbornly posted a +0.006 points per possession margin even though the team was three games below 0.500 in conference play. Though the Spiders posted a "positive" 1-1 week, their points per possession margin slid into negative territory, consistent with their record. Though throughout the conference the records and points per possession margins do not align exactly with the won-loss conference rankings (see Duquesne above), the alignment is the most consistent in the three seasons I have tracked the numbers. Identifying and explaining the discrepancies will be one of the bullet points for next week.
A Look at Conference Honors Two Weeks Out
The race for conference Player of the Year was not a serious contest in 2011. Tu Holloway won recognition either as Player of the Week or at least a nod in nine of the sixteen weeks the conference posted weekly honors. Honored as Player of the Week six times, Holloway's nearest competitors had not gathered more than two, one-third the number of times Holloway was honored.

Temple and Saint Louis continue to "walk away" from the rest of the conference, leaving the next four teams in the upper division (Xavier, Massachusetts, La Salle and Saint Bonaventure) clustered on the "plus side" of the points per possession margin. Though nine of the conference's 14 teams have .500 or better records, only those six (and Saint Joseph's with a 0.000 margin) have offenses that scored more points per possession that their defenses yielded, suggesting that some of those .500 or better teams suffered one or more blowouts in conference games this season.
Though Fordham and Rhode Island have firm holds on the bottom two spots in the conference standings, their negative points per possession margin is still not large enough to suggest they are uncompetitive with their conference mates. The gap between top-ranked Temple and bottom-ranked Fordham remains at about 1/3 of a point (0.337), well below the half-point gap last season. With nearly 37% of the conference games still to be played this season these margins can shift.
Conference Realignment: Does the Road to the Big East Go Through Irvine, Texas?
The Big East filled out their dance card for the 2013 football season last week and Temple, one of two schools who have vigorously lobbied for a spot in the power conference over the past four seasons, was passed over for the other long-term applicant, the University of Memphis. The conference negotiated a 20 million dollar early exit fee from West Virginia, and promptly invited C-USA member Memphis to join for 2013-14 season.
Passed over for the second time since last October, Memphis is the fourth C-USA school to accept a Big East invitation in 2011-12 and the ninth C-USA member to be invited since 2004-05. CBS Sports writer Brett McMurphy reported that Temple had been contacted by C-USA officials about possible membership. The membership is rumored to be for all sports, and with the proposed C-USA merger with the Mountain West Conference and a planned two round playoff system for the conference championship (that would, I assume, culminate with a BCS bowl bid). Though the Owls have a 55 year relationship with fellow Big 5 and A-10 members La Salle and Saint Joseph's, the prospects (and money?) may be too good to pass on.
Despite Consistently Producing Quality Teams and Players Such as Ramone Moore, Temple Was Passed Over For A Spot in The Big East (AP)
Massachusetts is expected to join Temple in the MAC – like the Owls for football only – when the Minutemen move up to the Bowl Division in football. Temple signed an agreement to continue play in the MAC just last summer. No details concerning an exit fee were disclosed at the time of the signing.
Temple continues to roll through their conference schedule but has yet to regain a spot in the AP or USA Today Top 25. Saint Louis and Massachusetts continue to nip at the Owls heels, while five others (Xavier, La Salle, Saint Bonaventure, and Duquesne) battle for the conference's last bye seed. Most bracketology sites put either two or three teams in the field (Temple, Saint Louis plus one other…), so games played between Xavier, La Salle, Saint Bonaventure, Saint Joseph's, Massachusetts, and Dayton will carry extra-conference implications.
Temple (19-5, 8-2) – Temple continued their run with another 2-0 week, beating George Washington by just enough, then answering the bell against Xavier on Saturday night. Ramone Moore again earned conference recognition, in no small part from his game versus the Musketeers. The strength of schedule (table above) may suggest an easier path than most for Coach Fran Dunphy's charges, but even with the Xavier hurdle cleared, the Owls still have rematches with city rivals: a road game with Saint Bonaventure and a tilt with Massachusetts. If the Owls keep winning, no one can catch them. Temple takes a mid-winter road trip to one of the least hospitable stops in the conference on Wednesday — Saint Bonaventure in a western New York winter. They return to Philadelphia for a home game with Duquesne on Saturday (2/18). Read the rest of this entry »

Week That Was:
The Homogenization of the A-10: The surprise team through the first two weeks (Dayton) has fallen to earth with a 4-5 record at the halfway mark. Now what? The points per possession table (conference game only) below may suggest the conference is breaking into a series of tiers (three for the top half of the conference, then everyone else … ), but the striking number is how closely the top and bottom teams are to each other, a hint at the parity also suggested by the first half won-loss records. In sharp contrast to this point (about mid-way through the conference regular season) last season, Temple and Fordham show a mere 0.353 difference in their points per possession margin, a much smaller gap than last season's 0.512 margin. Note there are no undefeated teams at this point, last season two teams (Xavier and Duquesne) sported 7-0 marks. Fordham and Saint Joseph's were looking for their first wins last season (both broke into the win column before the end of the regular season), while the bottom two teams this season have both logged two wins apiece. Parity of a sort perhaps, but is this a sign the conference is "better" or "worse"?
The computed conference strength of schedule (Number and Rank, leftmost two columns) suggest Temple's record may be due in part to their slate of opponents. Early evaluations underestimated the strength of La Salle and Saint Joseph's, two Big 5 rivals who did not give Temple much competition the past three or four seasons. This time around may be different though, as the Owls must play those two one more time, along with Xavier, Massachusetts and Saint Bonaventure. Temple's last half of the season should prove more challenging than season's past.
A Midpoint Look at All-Conference Team Candidates:
Each week the conference designates a Player of the Week, a Rookie of the Week along with a number of Honorable Mention players, based on their performance in the last week (usually a 2-3 games per week). If the season ended today, the Player of the Year vote would be split between Ramone Moore from Temple and Saint Bonaventure's Andrew Nicholson. Read the rest of this entry »

New Sheriff in Town? The surprise team so far is Dayton. The Flyers, under first year head coach Archie Miller, have unveiled a revamped offense with a decidedly different approach to player rotation. Under Brian Gregory all members in the rotation, with the exception of forwards Chris Wright (graduated in May 2011) and Chris Johnson (a senior this season) saw game time in four minute (or less) slices. Wright, Johnson and freshman point guard Juwan Staten (who transferred to West Virginia in the off season) played 70% or more at their positions, which translates to about 28 minutes per game. The junior guard Paul Williams aside, everyone else on the squad logged no more than 44.2% of the available time (Josh Benson, about 18 minutes per game) at their respective positions. The rotation this season also features two players (transfer guard Kevin Dillard and Williams) who have logged better than 70% of the available time (with Johnson playing 63%), but Miller uses three other players for 50% or more of the time, and fourth, sophomore Devin Oliver, who plays about 46% of the time on the wing. If Gregory's approach gave more players some game-time exposure, Miller's style, more tradition in the distribution of minutes, allows team members to acclimate to the game. Though Miller uses fewer players per game, the Flyers continue to get a bit more than 66 possessions per game, consistent with the last season under Gregory.
Archie Miller Has Done Wonders At Dayton
A Points per Possession Look at the teams. Last season I used points per possession (conference games only) to give the reader a more insightful look into each team's play. The numbers for the 3-5 games the teams have played so far.
Those who followed this column last season know that the efficiency margin will not always track with a team's won-loss record. The approach can suggest where strength of schedule, consistency and luck may play a larger than expected role in shaping the team's record. Two differences from this point last season (four-six games into the conference schedule) include the top-to-bottom size of the margin has shrunk considerably. Xavier, at the top of the conference, was +0.267 last season while Fordham at the bottom, was -0.277, a gap of nearly 0.55 points per possession, while this season (see above) shows a gap of 0.342 points per possession. Note the lack of undefeated (in conference play) teams this season, while One of the more obvious differences this season is thth wider efficiency margins (plus or minus)
Dayton continues to win, Xavier goes sideways while Charlotte and Richmond find the road rockier than expected? Looks like my promotion of Dayton last week was the right move as the Flyers handed Xavier a crushing 15 point loss last Saturday (1/21). The rematch next month in Cincinnati should be very interesting.
Saint Louis (15-4, 3-2) – The Billikens beat Duquesne Saturday for their only game this past week. The conference record may not say #1, but the point per possession margin (+0.131 – see above) says Coach Rick Majerus' team is on track. According to their Pythagorean Winning Percentage (conference games only) the Bills are on track to win 13 games, a very tall order given they have already logged 2/3 of their projected losses. Saint Louis has had problems winning away from Chaifetz, and the upcoming two game road swing will be an important early season test. Saint Louis will travel to Cincinnati for an early season showdown with Xavier on Wednesday (1/25) and then continue east to Amherst for a tilt with Massachusetts on Saturday (1/28).
Rick Majerus And Saint Louis Continue To Lead The Pack
No A-10 Teams in the Top 25… Again: The latest round of the AP and Coaches polls (January 16) show no Atlantic 10 team gathered enough support nationally to be ranked… for the fourth consecutive week. Saint Louis missed a good opportunity to impress when the Billikens dropped a four-point decision to New Mexico on New Year's Eve, picking up their second loss in the process. With the next six teams showing three or four losses, the conference is out of the Top 25 conversation for the next three or so weeks. The other name brands, Xavier and Temple, did not help their causes this past week. Xavier dropped their third game in the last four, this time to Gonzaga in what might have been a good "comparison" game for the Selection Committee. Temple beat #3 Duke but dropped two of their first three conference games. Lacking another marquee out-of-conference game (Temple versus Maryland is a pale imitation), the conference may have to wait until early February and hope that one or two teams will dominate conference play while their power conference counterparts beat each other up.
Bernadette McGlade's Recipe for Basketball Masala: Masalas are a variety of spicey soups or stews favored throughout India, Pakistan and most parts of south Asia. A-10 Commissioner Bernadette McGlade and her schedule maker served up their own brand of basketball masala in this opening week of conference play. Strong preseason favorites Saint Louis, Xavier and Temple did not survive the week undefeated (Temple has yet to win with a tough game coming up this week) while recently downtrodden Charlotte and La Salle started strong, each has sustained at least one loss. Rookie Coach Archie Miller of Dayton (whose squad was depleted with graduations and transfers) is riding high, while veteran Mike Lonergan of George Washington (whose squad is well stocked with experienced players) is struggling. Far too early to throw the power rankings (see below) up in the air perhaps, but a few of the results from the past two weeks (Dayton at Temple, Saint Louis at Dayton, Charlotte at Saint Joseph's for example) maybe critical tiebreakers come March.
Rick Majerus And Saint Louis Are On Top Of Our RTC Power Rankings (AP)
Results from the first quarter of conference play (and a few of the last few out of conference games) hold a strong hint that the conference may be more competitive through the first 12 spots than preseason projections indicated. First week losses to the favorites force me to take a long second (and third…) look at Dayton. With only a few games scheduled, and those yielding mixed results for the teams at the top of last week's power rankings, the conference appears to be sliding sideways. Massachusetts disposes of their last out of conference opponents fairly easily to move up a spot, while Temple finishes the month 6-1 and Fordham upsets a ranked team.
Saint Louis (14-4, 2-2) – The Billikens are .500 through the first four games of conference play. They opened conference play with a 79-72 overtime loss at Dayton, the first time Rick Majerus' squad has lost back-to-back games this season (St. Louis lost their last out of conference game to New Mexico on New Year's). Their bounce back 78-56 win over George Washington on January 7 was the largest margin win in conference play, with the three other games decided by five or fewer points. Against Dayton, the Billikens held Dayton to a respectable 1.04 point per possession (about 75 total possessions in the overtime game), but failed to break the 1.0 (PPP) mark themselves, a persistent problem last season that Brian Conklin, Kwamain Mitchell and Cody Ellis had resolved this season. None of the three had a good outing however, as they combined for a horrific 12-33 from the field, yielding a 40.9% eFG% and 0.96 points per weighted shot. One can have an off night (there are enough secondary options on the bench and the floor at anytime), but count those game where all three have problems scoring efficiently as an "L". Saint Louis committed the double sin of allowing the Flyers to score efficiently (over 50% eFG% overall), and rebound for second chances when they did not convert. The Billikens posted similar efficiencies in their loss to Temple last Wednesday. Saint Louis hosts Duquesne on Saturday (1/21) in their only game this week. Read the rest of this entry »

No A-10 Teams in the Top 25, Again: The latest round of the AP and Coaches polls (January 2) show no Atlantic 10 team that gathered enough support nationally to be ranked … for the second consecutive week. Saint Louis missed a good opportunity to impress when the Billikens dropped a four-point decision to New Mexico on Saturday, picking up their second loss in the process. With the next six teams showing three or four losses, the conference is out of the Top 25 conversation for the next few weeks. The other name brands, Xavier and Temple, did not help their causes this past week. Xavier dropped their third game in the last four, this time to Gonzaga in what might have been a good "comparison" game for the Selection Committee. Temple won their third straight, but the last two have not been especially impressive. The Owls may get the conference's last good chance for some noise when they host #3 Duke tonight.
Conference Comparisons: Nearly 90% of the out-of-conference games are on the books and the Atlantic 10 has posted a 62.6% winning percentage:
Against the six power conferences, the conference has logged a respectable 22-26 (0.458) record. Highlights include .500 or better records against the ACC (7-6, 0.538 – note Temple hosts Duke tonighit, see below), the Big Ten (4-4, 0.500) and the SEC (4-1, 0.800). Conference members logged their strongest numbers against the teams within the conference footprint – those traditional opponents during the out-of-conference portion of the schedule, posting a 63.8% (30-17) winning record against teams located throughout New England, the Middle Atlantic and upper Midwest regions. Against those conferences most likely to compete for the at-large bids not allocated to the power conference teams, the A-10 posted a strong – but deceptive – 23-12 (0.657) record, largely at the expense of the CAA (15-5, 0.750) and C-USA (4-3, 0.571); both show improvement over the 2010-11 season when, through the end of December, the A-10 went 7-10 versus the CAA and 2-5 with C-USA.
Conference Play Commences: The conference maintains their traditional "opening night" tipoff with five conference games and a sixth game to be played on Thursday night. Saturday will feature six conference games with the seventh game to be played on Sunday. By next Monday, every member will have logged at least one conference game.
Despite A Tough Start, Tu Holloway And Xavier Will Be A Major Challenger For The A-10 Crown (AP)
With only a few games scheduled, and those yielding mixed results for the teams at the top of last week's power ranking, the conference appears to be sliding sideways. Massachusetts disposes of their last out of conference opponents fairly easily to move up a spot, while Temple finishes the month 6-1 and Fordham upsets a ranked team.
Saint Louis (12-2) – The Billikens ended the week 1-1 — the loss coming at the hands of New Mexico (WAC) at the notorious Pit, UNM's homecourt. Rick Majerus' crew smothered Texas Southern with defense in a 71-39 win on 12/27, limiting the Tigers to a paltry 0.57 points per possession (or PPP, with 68 possessions per team calculated), about half a point per possession, just over half of the Division I average. Saint Louis' own 1.04 point per possession hints at the ongoing point production problem with Saint Louis, but when a defense holds an opponent under 0.6 PPP, the team does not need a very efficient offense to win. Brian Conklin earned an Honorable Mention for his 35-point performance over the two games which yielded an average of 17.5 points per game with an eFG% of 68.4%. Very impressive numbers indeed. The Lobos were a different matter, as the Billikens were down two at the half, and gave up another two points in the second half. Saint Louis opens conference play at Dayton Wednesday, then returns home to host George Washington on Saturday. Read the rest of this entry »

August | 2007 | bahá'í children's class ideas!
August 15, 2007: ~1 hour, 3 children, average age 8. Outreach class. We began with a new format for this class, to accommodate our group's high energy level: colouring first to calm the kids down. So far, it seems to work like a charm – it may take a few minutes to convince some of them to colour instead of playing games, but once they're convinced, they'll be able to concentrate enough to say prayers together. We also created a new movement-based game for this lesson, called "rose tag"; it's explained on the lesson page.
the past week, I've been involved with a neighbourhood teaching/outreach project that's endeavouring to offer all of the core activities in tandem to the local community. some of us are looking after junior youth activities, home visits with local residents, and study circles; I'm helping to look after a children's class. After teaching a couple of classes to an enormous ring of kids the first few days, we split the class into a younger (5-9) and an older (10-11) class, with the younger children studying lessons from Book 3 of the Ruhi curriculum and the older children studying lessons from Book 3A (aka the old Book 5). As reported tonight, we've had an average of 8 children in both children's classes together, and an average of 5 junior youth—and that's only in one part of the neighbourhood.
you can read my reflections on one of our first classes.

The helix represents DNA. Gamow is wearing a GW robe. His startlingly blue eyes twinkled myopically behind lenses that resembled the bottoms of cider bottles. He conversed with a cosmopolitan circle of friends in a variety of European languages, with a fractured but poetic delivery that was animated and usually high-pitched.
Gamow had already made quite a name for himself among physicists in Europe, but not many in the United States knew much about him in Few could have predicted that he would achieve worldwide renown as an astrophysicist and as the chief proponent of a bizarre theory of cosmic evolution called the "big bang," a schema that today is the subject of intense theoretical and observational research. Over the next 22 years, the ebullient and charismatic Gamow-"Geo" to most of his colleagues-left an ineradicable impression, both at the University and throughout the nation.
Soon after his arrival in Washington, he instituted a series of conferences in theoretical physics and related areas. Conference topics ranged from nuclear physics to cosmology to biological genetics.
In addition to developing the big bang theory of the expanding universe, Gamow made enormous contributions to the understanding of the nucleus of the atom, the activity of stars, the creation of the elements, and the genetic code of life.
He also laid the foundation for the theory of thermonuclear reactions, and his formula describing the temperature dependence of fusion reactions has been a cornerstone of thermonuclear bomb and reactor work.
One of the observing scientists at the "Mike" H-bomb test on Bikini atoll in the Pacific in , he was described by the United Press International reporter covering the event as "the only scientist in America with a real sense of humor. He can always take the most technical information and make it simple.
Infinity , as having stimulated their youthful fascination with science. Gyorgy Antonovich Gamow was born in Odessa, Ukraine, in His love of science manifested itself early. Astronomy, for example, captivated him after his father gave him a small telescope for his 13th birthday.
In , he attended summer school in Goettingen, Germany, at that time the hotbed of the new quantum theory. There he succeeded in explaining nuclear radioactivity as a quantum-mechanical phenomenon.
That insight explained experimental findings of scientists at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, led by the titan of nuclear physics, Ernest Rutherford. Gamow went on to apply quantum mechanics to a general theory of low-energy nuclear reactions, essentially founding that field of study. The significance of his work was apparent to Niels Bohr, who was to theoretical physics what Rutherford was to experimental physics.
There Gamow invented what was to become known as the liquid-drop model of the nucleus. Later, Bohr and the American theorist John A. Wheeler used the model to explain the phenomenon of nuclear fission. The young Ukrainian had a straightforward, no-nonsense way of doing theoretical physics.
His approach was strongly intuitive and he lost little time on florid mathematical formalism. That outlook commended itself to the redoubtable Rutherford, who was, to put it mildly, skeptical of the value, if not of all theoretical speculation, certainly of many theoretical scientists. Thus Gamow played a major role in the theoretical aspects of the experiment in which Cockcroft and Walton split the lithium-7 nucleus into two alpha particles by bombarding it with high-energy protons.
That accomplishment won wide-spread attention when presented in a paper. Einstein said in The New York Times that the results provided the strongest evidence yet adduced for the equivalence of mass and energy.
Photo: John Cockcroft and George Gamow Cavendish Laboratory, In sum, Gamow had established himself as one of the leaders in the rapidly expanding field of nuclear physics before his 25th birthday. Many intellectuals fled Europe as communist and fascist oppression intensified during the s. Gamow, who became a professor at the University of Leningrad, was one of the first.
His posthumously published autobiography, My World Line, contains vivid accounts of some of his attempts to escape from the Soviet Union. In what he describes as the "Crimean campaign" of , he and his new wife-Lyubov Vokhminzeva, nicknamed Rho-tried to cross the Black Sea to Turkey. Gamow had put the distance at about miles. The voyage was to be made in a small kayak equipped only with paddles and provided with little more than eggs, chocolate, strawberries, and two bottles of good brandy.
On their return to Leningrad from a later and equally unsuccessful attempt to escape, Gamow and Rho were more than a little surprised to find that the government had appointed him to represent the Soviet Union at the upcoming Solvay theoretical physics conference to be held in Brussels in October George resolved to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the Soviet Union for good. Gamow advanced three conditions. First, he wanted to invite a colleague of his choice to join the GW faculty to work with him.
Third, he requested that his initial appointment at GW be described as visiting professor. Since his Soviet passport allowed him to remain legally outside the Soviet Union for only a year, he wanted to give the impression that he might not be contemplating defection. Five years later, Gamow became a naturalized U. After the war, he taught a course in nuclear physics to naval officers, with Admiral Chester Nimitz among his students.
The military-and private industry-frequently called on his expertise. Throughout his long GW career, Gamow pursued eclectic scientific interests. Abstract mathematics, the workings of turbine and internal combustion engines, astrophysics, the chemical and biological complexity of matter, the properties and structure of the interior of our planet, and the application of the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics to natural phenomena immense and subatomic-all those excited his insatiable curiosity.
The mathematician Stanislaw Ulam. Not long after coming to GW, he shifted from purely nuclear physics to astrophysics and the application of his discoveries in nuclear physics to the problems of stellar birth, evolution, and energy generation-especially the internal structure of red giant stars. That, in turn, led him to the study of galaxy formation and the question of the creation of the elements and to evolutionary cosmology in general.
His findings laid much of the foundation for our present understanding of those phenomena. However, he is best remembered for his work on nucleocosmogenesis the process by which the elements are created out of more fundamental components and the development of the physical theory of the big bang model of the universe, as well as for his part in the prediction of the existence of cosmic background radiation.
Gamow, his former student at GW, Ralph Alpher, and their long-time colleague Robert Herman were the first to systematically develop the physical aspects of the cosmological theories of the Russian mathematician Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist George Lemaitre.
In a paper published in the British journal Nature later in , Gamow developed equations for the mass and radius of a primordial galaxy which typically contains about one hundred billion stars, each with a mass comparable with that of the sun. For its time, that proposed connection between microscopic quantities and cosmic behavior was audacious in the extreme.
Today such unbridled speculation has become, if not commonplace, at least not rare in the pages of highly respected scientific journals. Depending on how one views the license that such modem luminaries as Stephen Hawking allow themselves in their cosmological speculations wormholes, quantum foam, etc.
Gamow had often dealt with biological matters in his popular writings. In mid, having read the famous paper by Francis Crick and James Watson describing the double helical structure of DNA, Gamow sent Crick a letter, in which he outlined a mathematical code connecting the structure of DNA with the existence of 20 amino acids.
The latter are the building blocks of the proteins that form the most important constituent of all biological organisms. It was within the walls of those hallowed precincts that Crick showed Watson the Gamow letter. His great innovation was the introduction of mathematical reasoning to the coding problem without dwelling too much on biochemical details.
Soon the biological world roiled with feverish activity directed toward abstract mathematical attempts to unravel the genetic code. Gamow and Crick were in the van of the enterprise. In the end it was two experimental biologists, Marshall Nirenberg and J. No mathematical regularity of the kind Gamow contemplated has been discerned between the structure of the DNA and that of the amino acid sequence in proteins. Nevertheless, his astounding insight into the nature of the question to be posed played a significant part in stimulating the enormous advances that have occurred in biological genetics and in the understanding of the essentials of genetic coding since Those achievements are all the more remarkable for having being inspired, not by a trained biologist, but by a practicing physicist and cosmologist.
Gamow left GW in for the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he continued working until his death in But his impact on GW endures, and this spring we unveiled a campus memorial to him. A bronze plaque on a granite boulder details the scientific and literary accomplishments of the man whom his good friend Edward Teller described as follows: "Gamow was fantastic in his ideas.
He was right, he was wrong. More often wrong than right. Always interesting;

His father taught Russian language and literature in high school, and his mother taught geography and history at a school for girls.

Most of his early publications were in German or Russian, but he later switched to writing in English for both technical papers and for the lay audience.

Mr Tompkins
Jump to navigation Jump to search Mr Tompkins is the title character in a series of four popular science books by the physicist George Gamow. The books are structured as a series of dreams in which Mr Tompkins enters alternative worlds where the physical constants have radically different values from those they have in the real world. Gamow aims to use these alterations to explain modern scientific theories. The lecture proves less comprehensible than he had hoped and he drifts off to sleep and enters a dream world in which the speed of light is a mere 4. This becomes apparent to him through the fact that passing cyclists are subject to a noticeable Lorentz—FitzGerald contraction.

REPOST: What is it about the Trickster? Interview with Sue Vincent plus review of Mister Fox: The Legend
Posted by barbtaub in Author Interviews, Book Review, excerpts, Reviews
book review, Fox Dance, graphic novel, legends, Silent Eye Press, Stuart France, Sue Vincent, Trickster
Sue Vincent, along with partner Stuart France, writes beautiful, haunting, thought-provoking books with universal themes. And then there's Mister Fox. I fell in love with this seriously weird, viscerally beautiful, hilarious, and just plain fun series of graphic tales. Sue's health is failing, but her spirit still overflows with a larger-than-life delight in family, history, and love, as you can see in this interview from some years back.
I have seen them write in fire on the darkness…and heard the drums beaten with flaming brands.
Where do they come from?
They come out of the night…
Where do they go to?
Back to the night they return…
They dance in the dark to pipe and drum and fiddle
They dance in the dark with fire and brandished flame…
No-one knows who they are…
But why do they dance?
What is the story behind this magical spectacle?
There are rumours, legends…
Don and Wen set out to investigate.
In a darkened corner of the Waggon and Horses, Langsett, a hooded and enigmatic figure whispers secrets…

Why do we love the Trickster?
Sue Vincent is a Yorkshire born writer, painter and award winning poet. She is also known as an esoteric teacher and is one of the Directors of The Silent Eye. Sue now lives in Buckinghamshire, having been stranded there due to an unfortunate incident with a pin, a map and a blindfold; a temporary glitch of twenty years duration. She has a lasting love-affair with the landscape of Albion; that hidden country of the heart that is the backdrop for many of her books, particularly those co-authored with Stuart France. She is currently owned by a small dog who also blogs.
I once accompanied my daughter's fifth-grade class on an overnight field trip to an old farm north of Seattle for what was supposed to be a chance to experience the lives of early settlers to the region. After teachers confiscated every scrap of their electronic gear, the stunned kids milked soggy cows, hauled wet wood, cooked over smoky stoves, and weeded muddy 'gardens'. As they ate their (sodden) meals, one summed it up. "The olden days sucked."
Luckily, their teacher deployed her three secret weapons—giant pile of guaranteed-to-burn presto fire-logs, industrial-sized box of instant hot chocolate packets (mini-marshmallows!), and native American storyteller Mary—to transport cold, wet, digitally-deprived children to a magic place. Instead of TV, X-Box, or cellphones, the kids cupped hands around hot chocolate and watched the flames shoot into the sky. In the flickering firelight, Mary explained that she was from one of the local tribes, and had come to tell her family's stories of people who had lived in these hills long before the settlers in their muddy farms.
She held up a giant slug, and told how native people covered their skin with the slime as protection against the frigid waters as they fished. Then she told the story of how Raven stole Crow's Potlatch (feast), followed by several others in which a clever animal—usually a bird—outsmarted larger, stronger animals. The ten-year-olds couldn't get enough.
Since that night, I've noticed how much we're like those kids. We love the mystery and magic of fireside tales that explain who we are by telling who we were, and we especially love the Trickster who breaks the rules, shakes things up, and tweaks the masks of everyday life.
My guest today, writer/photographer/artist Sue Vincent, and her co-author Stuart France have added a new page to the Trickster legacy with Mister Fox: The Legend. Storyteller Mary and those kids from years ago would have loved this stunning graphic tale of the mysterious fire dance that incorporates every one of these elements. I think you will too. Please join me in welcoming Sue as she talks about her art and her life.
What was your first car? The first car I had all for my very own was a Mini… one of the older ones in that tomato soup red. The general idea was that it was the only car small enough for me to reach everything and, of course, it was cheap. Largely because it only fired on three cylinders. Which is how I learned a bit about being my own mechanic. Not a lot, I have to say, but enough. The engine had to be stripped down, neatly labelled, refurbished and put back together again with the aid of a knowledgeable driving instructor and a Haynes manual. My friend, however, was horrified by the oven cleaner on the engine block… as a degreaser it worked very well. Though he thought that was bad, he was traumatized by the valves stuck in the end of the electric drill to grind them… Nonetheless, we finally had her up and running, installed the false floor so I could actually reach the pedals… then sold her as the wheelchair would not fit in the boot!
If you were going to spend the next three years on a desert island (well, deserted except for the manicurist and a really excellent Thai restaurant…), what three books would you take along? A manicurist? Really? Oooh…never had a manicure! My first reaction to the question was something unprintable. Only three??? Then suddenly it was easy. The Complete works of Tolkien… or if that hasn't been published yet as a single, handy volume, I'll have Lord of the Rings. I don't get bored no matter how often I read it and the characters are so familiar now that I wouldn't get lonely either. I'd have to have the Bible, though not for devotional purposes. It is the ultimate puzzle book, which is why it features so largely in so many of the books written with Stuart France. It has poetry, adventure, romance and just about every other aspect of human life within its pages. And I would need at least three years to get through it with enough thought to even begin to unpack the symbolism! The third is the easiest of all… the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, a Persian mathematician, scientist and philosopher. My grandfather took his copy of the poems to Burma during WWII; he later gave it to my mother, who passed it to me. Until recently it lived in my handbag. Nowadays it is so fragile the books stays at home, but I have it with me on the Kindle app on my phone.
Worst movie ever? I'm not sure I can think of one…the really awful ones are generally hilarious anyway! One that stayed with me though was the 1961 William Castle film, 'Homicidal'. I may have been way too young to watch it when I did, but the severed head bouncing down the stairs has remained an image of terror ever since! [Note: Maybe Sue should have taken William Castle up on his "fright break"!]
Who would you most like to sit next to on an airplane? The pilot! I like to see where I'm going. I haven't flown for about thirty years now, though I always dreamed of traveling the world. The past two years, have shown me that there is still so very much I want to see in Britain that I may never fly again. We fell into an adventure, Stuart and I, one misty morning on Dragon Hill, looking up at the White Horse of Uffington. It was a magical day and began a journey of discovery that has been sheer delight as we have explored the ancient and sacred places of Albion. These are the stories we share in the series' that begins with The Initiate.
Best guilty pleasure ever? The second best guilty pleasure… that has to be curd tarts. The real, Yorkshire curd tarts that you can only buy in the north of England. They are, I suppose, a poor man's baked cheesecake, flavoured with currants and nutmeg, and I love them. I hadn't had one for years during my 'exile' in the south. You can imagine my delight when a friend sent a brace down from Yorkshire to help me recover from pneumonia a few years ago. They worked too!
Who would play you in the movie? It would have to be either Elijah Wood, as my sons call me their hobbit, being vertically challenged… or Dobbie, the house-elf from the Harry Potter films. I await my sock.
What is the one thing you can't live without? An internet connection! I live hundreds of miles from Stuart, my friends and the work of the School. Other than that I can manage without most things, as long as I have my little old car, plenty of coffee and the small dog!
As a child (or now!), what did you want to be when you grew up—and were any of them photographer/artist/poet/novelist? I was always going to be a dancer. Should have been too, except for a series of unfortunate breakages that kept me in plaster long enough to discover boys and normal teenagerhood. The ankle became too weak for the vocation. The second choice, as fashion designer, was hampered just a tad by the fact that I can't actually sew. My grandmother always said I 'sewed with burnt thread', which gives some indication of the scale of the problem! I ended up being a Mum instead. I started painting when my late partner was going through his final illness… it was a way of escaping the house without leaving it. That began as a simple pastime but unexpectedly led to some major commissions. The writing happened almost by accident too… my mother was the writer in our family! The photography just seemed to wander along for the ride. Which just goes to show, you can never tell how the future will unfold. If I could turn back the clock now and follow my original dream of becoming a dancer… I wouldn't change a thing. I am happier with what I am doing now than I have ever been in my life.
Why did you decide to tell the story of Mister Fox as a graphic novel? Ah, thereby hangs a tale… or tail, depending how you see it. A story shrouded in smoke and mystery… We were approached last year by the shadowy figure of one known only as Charles James Fox, the leader of the Langsett Fox Dance. We were asked to write their legend…and were admitted to the secret location where the dancers gather unmasked. This is a signal honour as none know their identities outside of the Fox's Earth. They themselves tell their legend in dance and movement, stark figures against the flame. Their song is the drum and pipe, their words no more than gestures… yet they speak to something primal within each of us. We had to tell their story visually… how else could we hope to be worthy of their dance?
How did you approach creating the artwork? We always make the cover first. Somehow that sets the tone for us and makes the book 'real'. There was only ever one image for the front cover. We have seen their dance several times and being me, there was always the camera, so we had plenty of images to work from. We just didn't have a clue where to start to make a graphic novel. After experimenting with the basic programmes it was obvious we needed something more and so began a rather steep learning curve with a variety of computer programmes until we achieved the look we were seeking.
Why do you think it's important to tell—and see—this story? There are too many traditions falling victim to the digital age. The Fire dance of Mister Fox brings together so many ancient threads of legend and storytelling in a way that can trace its history right back, perhaps, as far as Man himself. The simplicity of the drumbeat, the flickering flames, the dark silhouettes… they are not so different from what we might have seen round the hearthfires of old. These are things that speak to us on a very deep level… and they are being lost. The Langsett Foxes seek to preserve a fragment of our heritage and with Mister Fox: The Legend, we have sought to capture a little of that magic and share their story.
What was the most difficult part of creating Mister Fox? Each page needs to be balanced visually, each image needs to replace the words of a standard book. While we wanted to make a book that could simply be read and enjoyed, we also wanted to retain the air of mystery, so many of the pictures which may seem a little oddball can be solved, almost like a visual riddle, by following the trail of symbolism.
But mostly, we wanted to do justice to the spectacle of the Fox dancers who capture a moment and weave it into magic.
What's the best writing advice you've ever heard?
'Start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there'll always be better writers than you and there'll always be smarter writers than you. There will always be people who are much better at doing this or doing that – but you are the only you.' —Neil Gaiman.
Write from your heart. If you want to write… do it. One word after another. Fear of failure… of not being 'good enough' silences too many voices. Or you start by trying to be someone else… inspired by or aspiring to a voice you admire. You are yourself. You have your own voice, your own story. If you want to write, just do it. And when you do… you are a writer.

My Review: ALL the stars!
In almost every culture from the very earliest records we have, there are stories of the tricksters who use brains to triumph over larger, stronger, richer foes, frequently to aid people around them. Tricksters from ancient Prometheus—who tricked Zeus, stole fire, and gave it to mortals—to Loki, Anansi, Kokopelli, Lugh, Coyote, Crow, and so many more worked their clever, funny, and often helpful schemes.
Sue Vincent and Stuart France have added a page to that legend. But instead of simply retelling, they've pulled together the mystery and the dance, combined it with firelight and magic, and graphically presented an experience rather than a story. "I have seen them write in fire on the darkness…and heard the drums beaten with flaming brands."
I can't review this like a regular book, because my normal benchmarks—plot, pace, character development—are irrelevant. Oh, sure there are words—a new Trickster legend for Crow, and a tale-within-a-tale legend told appropriately by Punch, that most British of Tricksters. There are even inside jokes like the one in which the ancient Fox manuscript is lost when the original Sir Rufus Foxx has to flee the country after "disaster is visited on the family" by younger brother Guido Foxx (Guy Fawkes?).
But ultimately, all I can tell you is that this little book is more than the sum of its parts. The glowing artwork, with its puzzles and hints at so much more, is a much a part of the voice and the magic as the spare words. You can't read this book as much as experience it. But if you do, you'll know how art and fire and dance can combine to make magic. And just maybe a sky-full of stars too.

It's sometimes easy to overlook the impact a place-kicker has on the success of a football team. For UNI, Austin Errthum's reliability and accuracy made a big difference on Saturday (Nov. 24, 2018).
Errthum kicked three field goals and an extra-point in the Panthers' 16-13 victory over Lamar in the first-round of the NCAA FCS playoffs at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls. His 35-yard field goal with 13-minutes, nine-seconds left in the fourth quarter broke a 13-13 tie, and provided the only points scored by either team in the second half.
"Austin made all the difference in the world," UNI Coach Mark Farley said. "When you get into playoffs, you're going to be in close games. Kicking was the difference in this game. The accuracy is really what matters as a kicker, and he some big kicks today."
UNI overcame a 10-point deficit with big plays on defense and a strong running game. The Panthers trailed 13-3 after the first quarter, but the score was deadlocked at halftime.
The victory propels UNI (7-5) to the second round of the FCS playoffs. The Panthers next face sixth-seeded UC-Davis on the road. The game is scheduled to start at 6 PM-CT Saturday in Davis, Calif.
UNI's game against Lamar was hard-fought from the opening kickoff. The Cardinals (7-5), making their first FCS playoff appearance in program history, scored on just the second play from scrimmage. Quarterback Darrel Colbert found Kirkland Banks in the flat. Banks found the edge and ran 73 yards for the touchdown, but Lamar failed to convert a bad snap on the extra-point kick.
Deion McShane took the ensuing kickoff 61 yards back to the Lamar 37-yard line to set up a 21-yard field goal for Errthum, his first of the day.
On the next possession, Lamar picked up four consecutive third down conversions on the back of Colbert, a dual threat from the pocket. He capped the drive with a 25-yard pass to Case Robinson giving Lamar a 13-3 lead with 7:29 to play in the first quarter. But, the Cardinals wouldn't score again.
UNI added a 44-field goal by Errthum with 8:16 to play in the second quarter, then tied the game at 13-all when quarterback Eli Dunne hooke up with Jalen Rima on a 32-yard touchdown pass at the 1:59 mark.
On their first drive of the second half, the Cardinals advanced to UNI's 17-yard line before losing possession of the ball on a fumble. Lamar squandered another scoring chance with 2:42 left in the third quarter, when the Cardinals a missed 42-yard field goal with 2:42 in the third quarter.
The Panthers' defense held Lamar out of the end zone for the remainder of the game. On the ensuing possession after the UNI field goal, Lamar drove to the 19-yard line, but again fumbled away the possession.
The Cardinals had one final scoring chance with 2:50 to play, but missed a game-tying 36-yard field goal attempt.
The run game was big for the Panthers on Saturday. Marcus Weymiller rushed for 128 yards on 29 carries and Trevor Allen notched 112 yards on 18 carries. It was Allen's first game for UNI since Oct. 27 at Western Illinois.


Saturday, April 18th, from 10:00 to 4:00, we will be having a HUGE game of Capture the Flag in a version of the game that depends on stealth. There is no running involved, so it is open for ages 10 and up. Those younger than 10 must have adults with them. We played last fall and had a blast with 30 participants and a ¼ mile wide field!

Q: Chrome Omnibox interrupts typing, focus jumps to instant search My Chrome Omnibox intermittently interrupts my typing, performs google instant search, and moves the focus off of the omnibox, preventing me from continuing to type. Is there a setting that I can change to prevent focus from shifting and my typing from being interrupted?
Example, if I start typing 'face the ', the omnibox autocomplete shows 'facebook.com' and shows instant search normally until I type the 't', then autocomplete shows 'face the nation' and acts as if I had pressed Enter. The Omnibox changes to show a google search URL and focus goes away, preventing me from finishing typing.
Any suggestions to prevent this behavior?

A: If you guys are on Chrome v28.0.xxxx (type about:version in omnibox), it appears to be a bug.  My version 27.0.xxxx doesn't do that.
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=247024
Edit: Some users experiencing it on version 27.0.xxx, so it's not that!
Proposed fix/workaround from link above:

If you're still seeing the issue, and you haven't already done so,
  follow these steps:

*

*Click the Settings menu in Chrome (three stacked horizontal lines).

*Click Settings from the menu.

*Under the "Search" section, make sure that "Enable Instant for faster searching (omnibox input may be logged)" is unchecked.

Our version of a "Hipster" design was well perceived by the public, shortly becoming a best seller. However FireFighters just could not comprehend it.
When designing this shirt the missing "O" was more than enough to cause joking at the fire station. The firefighters didn't understand the point of taking out the "O" because it didn't make sense. They also jokingly struggled to pronounce the name properly. However in their endless joking they did not realize the "E" was also missing. They never even noticed it's absence and that was the point! Never stop creating with this shirt!
