Symptoms and Risk Factors
The symptoms of major depression are as follows:
- A depressed mood for most of the day and on most days.
- Diminished pleasure or interest in most activities.
- Significant change in appetite and sleep patterns.
- Psychomotor agitation or slowing.
- Fatigue.[1]
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive, inappropriate guilt.
- Poor concentration.
- Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
Cognitive symptoms may express themselves as repeated and ruminative thoughts such as "I brought this on myself," "God is punishing me," or "I'm letting my family down," and as fatalistic expectations concerning prognosis, despite realistic evidence to the contrary. Such thinking may predominate or may alternate with more realistic thinking, yet remain very stressful. Some individuals will share negativistic thoughts freely, and family members may be aware of them. Other patients will not volunteer such thinking but will respond to brief inquiries such as the following (other examples are listed in Table 1):
- "Many people find themselves dwelling on thoughts about their cancer. What kinds of thoughts do you have?"
- "Do you find yourself ever thinking I brought this on myself, God is punishing me? How often? Only a few times a week, or all the time? Do you believe these thoughts are true?"
- "In spite of these thoughts, are you still able to go on with your life and find pleasure in things? Or, are you so preoccupied that you can't sleep, or feel hopeless?"
It is possible for a physician or nurse to ask these types of questions without becoming engaged in providing counseling themselves. Merely asking these questions will express concern and increase the likelihood that the patient will be receptive to suggestions for further counseling.
A statement such as the following can then follow these questions:
"Many people with cancer sometimes have these feelings. You are not alone. But talking to someone else about them can greatly help. I'd like to suggest that you consider doing that. Would you be willing to talk to someone who has a lot of experience helping people cope with the stress of having cancer?"

Eat 6 Meals A Day & Lose Weight
what's it all about?Growing up, the majority of us are taught to eat three large meals a day. Breakfast usually entails consuming something small; lunch is often composed of something handy, like a sandwich, and supper is customarily a feast where the whole family meets to gorge in an escapade of osmosis and gluttony.
Now we have a new eating habit on the horizon that's rocking the boat, so what to believe?
The answer, as many experts would like you to believe, is that we should not eat three large meals a day. Eating many small meals is becoming an ever-popular practice, and with good reason — nutritionists and health buffs are adopting this new philosophy and getting great results.
The main theory around this eating habit is that smaller meals can help one lose weight and absorb nutrients more efficiently. Experts believe that the body can only handle so much at one serving without eliminating or storing excess nutrients.
Eating the same calories spread out over smaller meals four to six times during the day is supposed to raise the body's thermic effect, resulting in 10% more calories being burned, according to Leslie Bonci, R.D., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
the proofThe proof is in the pudding, so to speak, and the benefits are too good to ignore. A study conducted at St. Michael's Hospital in Ontario, Canada, observed two groups of individuals. One was subjected to a common three-meals-a-day diet while another was asked to consume over a dozen small ones throughout the day.
At the end of the study, the "nibblers" showed considerably lower levels of low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the bad kind of cholesterol that sticks to the arteries).
Another study conducted at the University of Limburg in the Netherlands revealed that individuals who consume mini-meals had more stable carbohydrate and fat oxidization levels, while "gorgers" didn't, making them more prone to weight gain.
the benefitsAs stated above, eating smaller meals more frequently stabilizes nutrient oxidization levels, making the body more efficient at burning food, so anybody who wants to lose weight should adopt this eating principle. Eating smaller meals is also believed to lower blood cholesterol.
Furthermore, nibbling throughout the day prevents long stretches of starvation. Going from noon to 6:00pm without eating usually ends with an enormous supper. This is a very bad eating habit seeing as our metabolism can only handle a certain amount of calories, carbs, fat, and protein in one sitting.
It's time to lose that weight...

Skip to comments.Vanity-Open Thread: Something you learned from this debacle.
Posted on 03/21/2010 4:02:49 PM PDT by C19fan
I will start this with:
Beltway pundits, especially so-called conservatives, are clueless. They have spent so much time in DC thinking all this stuff is a game that they could not recognize ideologues when it smacked them in the face.
I learned that there is too damned much shooting inside the tent.
Count me out!
Elections have consequences. Don't forget it the next time you're thinking about setting one out.
contribute to his challenger:
Please send contributions to:
Benishek for Congress
802 Pentoga Trail
Crystal Falls, MI 49920
Democrats are liberals; stop calling them anything else. Liberals are socialists. Stop calling them anything else. Obama is a Marxist/Black Liberation Theologist. Expect the worst.
we let this happen.
all incumbents out !
Right now I'm reading a book called "The Black Swan," which is about the inability of people to adequately assess highly improbable circumstances, luck, and unusual events that are outside of their daily experiences and biases.
The chapter I just read talked about the strange fact, which has apparently been measured in research, for experts to be worse predictors than those outside the area of expertise. The reason, according to the author, is that the experts overestimate their base of knowledge when making a prediction.
Interesting stuff.
All liberals are evil and cannot be trusted.
The system is totally broken. Our government doesn't even resemble anything that the Constitution says, at all.
quit thinking there's no difference between the parties
There is not a single dem in either the house or senate that has any morals or ethics whatsoever, they are ALL sleaze.
At lease Judas got 30 pieces of silver. Stupak didn't even get that and he's as much a traitor.
I heard about that book. Would you recommend it?
No such thing as a pro-life Democrat. If you think about it, logic would say that if you belong to the party of abortion...you can't really be pro-life.
And the other thing I learned is the Catholic church (not in general) but in specific areas "tolerates" abortion.
Rodney Dangerfield was right:
Rodney: "You can fool some of the people some of the time, and just jerk the rest off!!"
I learned something very interesting
People are fundamentally stupid.
Democrat after Democrat talk about how many people will die from not having health insurance, how many will go bankrupt, how many are losing insurance
right now!!
Yet, no one seems to notice that the benefits and coverage won't start for years.
If things are so bad, then why not make everything start benefits the day it goes into law? Maybe, these congressmen are just doing what is politically expedient and not really caring at all about the common man.
That's what i learned
It would take a huge shift in attitudes for the federal government to ever cut spending. Politicians at the federal level will do nearly anything to avoid it.
It's important to win elections. There's no way this happens if the Democrats don't have huge majorities in both houses.
I wasted about 24 hours of my time and energy attending rallies in front of the Capitol. What a waste.
Absolutely. It'll certainly clean the cobwebs out of your head.
I don't even want to think about how much time I wasted sending faxes and making calls. It was bunches tho.....
I agree.
Deceit, treachery and the big lie are a winning strategy. Democrats play to win by any means in every arena. Republicans still don't understand the enemy and want to play by the rules.
Thank you for mentioning this book. I think I saw the author on Beck several weeks ago and I kept trying to remember who he was so I could get the book. It sounded fascinating. I think really, people always assume REALLY bad stuff won't happen to them, so they are blindsided. Lots of ostriches. Anyway, thanks, I'm going to order it now.
There are three different ones listed on Amazon, who is the author?
Never EVER trust a Democrat!
I learned that we do not have a representative republic.
Stupak was always going to vote for the bill.
Nassim Taleb.
What did I learn? NOTHING.
Just reaffirmed what I already knew. America is toast.
There are too many ignorant, selfish, dishonest, lying, cheating, immature, lazy people in our country and the numbers are getting worse. And they all vote.
We are going down in flames. There's no turning it around. Globalism, socialism, marxism...here we come, ready or not.
I learned that the only difference between rape and seduction is salesmanship.
You should be PROUD!! I'm proud of you and everyone else is, too!
It was NOT a "waste" and, I hope you're willing to do it again!!! I am.
I'm looking forward to the fights to come!
NEVER give up! NEVER surrender!!! (I'm gonna watch Galaxy Quest tonight, instead of Obamao...it'll be a break...then...BACK TO THE FIGHT!!!!)
Our Constitution does not matter
Our Republic is Dead...for real
What people are is fundamentally selfish. And most want their needs to be taken care of so they can focus on the fun stuff. Healthcare isn't fun stuff. So they want YOU to pay for it.
It's not a waste. Really. You were there. Those of us who couldn't be there got just a little bit of comfort knowing some WERE there. God bless you for doing your part.
I learned that there is no such thing as a principled Rat and all Rats are ultimately pro-abortion no matter what they say.
There is no such thing as a moderate democRAT, and the Catholic Church needs to excommunicate every single one of the rat B@ST@RDS.
Absolutely nothing new. Reinforced everything I have learned or experienced over many years. Communists have taken over our govt with the election of front man Obama. What has been accomplished is that Republicans finally know the seriousness of the battle and are fighting back. It must be crystal clear now that unless Republicans fight to retake this government, there will be no need for elections to any office. The current communist administration rules by waivers, DEEMED voted and passed legislation, executive orders for favored politicians and legislation, seizure of state owned land, bribery and corruption of legislators to gain support for various bills, circumvention of any and all rules and legal restrictions etc. etc. The communists have nothing to lose as they push and bully their way into every corner and crevice of the American way of life. Nothing, nothing, will stop them until their opposition is willing to be as brutal as they are whether legislatively or otherwise. We all know that there is more of the same as HC on the way. We must elect strong leaders and that means anybody running for elective office. Leaders who cannot be bought by one means or another. This HC bill is not the worst that can happen to this country. We have been put on notice as to what democrats are capable of and willing to do to force socialization of America on us.
Yes there is that. Too much shooting inside the tent that is. I have given up trying to figure out what is the gain. It is certainly off putting.
The author is Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
Talking about the unexpected... who would have thought that there were three books with the same name? LOL
I will not give up. Just feeling so down. I will get up again to fight!!!!
I am sorry. I was just feeling down. I will NEVER give up.
I know you won't, and neither will I. I feel like I've been punched in the gut today, however I was surprised by the number of my FB friends (who are generally totally not political) have come out angry over this vote today. So, there may really be hope. :)

Mismatch Between Education and Occupation: A Case Study of Pakistani Graduates
In this study, an attempt has been made to estimate the incidences of job mismatch in Pakistan. The study has divided the job mismatch into three categories; education-job mismatch, qualification mismatch and field of study and job mismatch. Both the primary and secondary datasets have been used in which the formal sector employed graduates have been targeted. This study has measured the education-job mismatch by three approaches and found that about one-third of the graduates are facing education-job mismatch. In similar, more than one-fourth of the graduates are mismatched in qualification, about half of them are over-qualified and the half are under-qualified. The analysis also shows that 11.3 percent of the graduates have irrelevant and 13.8 percent have slightly relevant jobs to their studied field of disciplines. Our analysis shows that women are more likely than men to be mismatched in field of study.

As they say it, How the West was Once
As they say it, How the West was Once
Some shots of Horseshoe Canyon outside of Drumheller, Alberta.
While in Banff National Park, Wendy and I took the boys up to Johnston Canyon which was insanely busy. The parking lot was packed and by the time we left, people were parking over a kilometre in both ways down the Bow Valley Parkway. We had plans to take the boys to the upper waterfalls.
So as the sign says, it is a 1 km hike to the first falls. Yet when I started the Map My Hike app on my iPhone, it said that it was 4k with a return hike.
I think I have met these three people before.
They enjoyed the walk. They weren't tired but the progress was at a standstill because there was a group taking selfie's up ahead.
This is my favorite shot from the hike.
A Parks Canada employee has what looks to be a long and wet day ahead of him.
This is the legendary lower falls of Johnston Canyon. We had planned to go to the upper falls but as the photos show, the crowds were brutal and the antibiotics I had to deal with the infection in my ankle hadn't beaten the infection back very far. Combined it meant that it would be a long hike and since we are coming back next summer to hike to the inkpots, it wasn't a big deal to call it a day and dodge the selfie sticks back to the car.
I think we can all agree that I nailed this picture of a chipmunk.
Did I mention that the trail was packed. This is the main reason why we didn't go to the second falls. So many people (and my ankle was really hurting me). Also, most of the people we passed on the trail were looking at their phones. Apparently world class scenery and nature doesn't compete well with Angry Birds.
If you want to see more photos from Johnston Canyon, check out the full set on Flickr.
Sawback is a small picnic area on the Bow Valley Parkway between Banff and Johnston Canyon. It used to be small and has gotten smaller since Parks Canada has moved the tables near to the roadside turn off and allowed the vegetation to take over old picnic areas.
Growing up, it was my favorite place in the world. We used to take a yearly trip from Calgary (and later Saskatoon) to Johnston Canyon and then picnic at Sawback. I was looking forward to taking the boys there and was quite disappointed when all there was left was some picnic tables near the parking lot.
It wasn't the picnic areas that make it so great, it was the babbling brook of glacier runoff that make it so much fun to explore as a kid. I knew that didn't go anywhere so I followed an overgrown trail into the bush and 50 feet into it I found the brook.
Mark and Oliver did exactly what I did year ago and this jump across it and get all wet.
This shot was right after I had scolded the boys about making faces every time I tried to take their photo.
So while the picnic tables placement kind of sucks, we will return in 2016 with a proper picnic blanket and food.
I told Mark that there is a sacred Cooper tradition of dunking one's head into the glacier water that ran out of the Sawback mountain range. He put his hands in, screamed from the cold…
And dunked his head into it.
After he got out and was struggling with hypothermia did I tell him that he was the first of the Cooper's to do such a thing. Yes, I am a horrible father.
All of the snapshots I took at Sawback can be found in their album on Flickr.
After two days of being up at 4:45 a.m., I feel like I am slacking and sleeping in today. It's almost 7 a.m.
Today we are heading to Heritage Park. I haven't been there since I was in Grade 4. Much as stayed the same but a lot has changed. That was so long ago that the school I attended for Grade 4 has closed.
Before we go to Heritage Park, I need to take Mark to Chinook Centre so we can hit up the Apple Store and he can get a new iPod Nano. His died and then I leant him my old iPod Touch which he then dropped. So here we go again. I wonder if he can get an Otter Box for it.
Oliver doesn't know there is a Lego store in that mall but I can't see us walking by it and not going in.
After that it is to the park where we will wander around aimlessly and eat homemade food, ride a steam engine, take a cruise on a paddle wheeler, and see how Calgary was once.
Another obscenely early morning around here. Wendy posted late last night about the trip out here.
I am waiting for the crew to get ready before we head downstairs to grab breakfast and then hit the road to Banff National Park today. We are taking the old highway through Cochrane along a winding road to Canmore. From there we will make a quick detour into Banff for some fresh bread and food before heading to Johnston Canyon where will hike the trail to the second large waterfall. It isn't so much of a hike then a stroll. It's also a great place to people watch as there are tourists from all over the globe there and they are fascinated by a lot of things (like squirrels) that we find mundane.
From there we are heading to a picnic area called Sawback where we will have a quick picnic lunch, then proceed up the Bow Valley Parkway until we get to Lake Louise. Along the way we are checking out a campground that we plan to stay at next year. It looks good online but it's always nice to see it first hand.
After we explore the Chateau Lake Louise, we are heading back to Banff where the Banff Gondola and Cave and Basin National Historic site wait for us. After dinner the plan is to see the Bow Falls chill out (or warm up) in the Upper Banff Hot Springs before heading back to Calgary.
The Cave and Basin National Historic Site is one of my favourite spots on earth. I loved going there as a kid and I can't wait until I can show Wendy, Mark, and Oliver the site. As for the Chateau Lake Louise, it was there that I proposed to Wendy so it will be fun heading back there.
After watching the carnage from the PC Party crashing and burning last night, everyone in Saskatchewan seemed to have opinions on what the Alberta election meant for Saskatchewan.
For those on the right, they predicted a wave of people from Alberta moving from the business hating Alberta to the business friendly Saskatchewan. They seem to expect that when Notley does the unthinkable and raise oil royalties, Alberta companies will flee for Saskatchewan (despite the fact that Peter Lougheed did the exact same thing decades ago. They ignore the fact that the oil is in Alberta and therefore so are the jobs. Also as Ontario proved during the Rae years, business will just stay put and vote in a new government before they move to another province. Roots are important to people, they just don't get up and leave. So let's cool down and ignore those idiots who have actually prediction an influx of a million people to Saskatchewan over the next couple of years and relax. No one chooses a province based on partisan politics. It is based on jobs and work.
Those on the left see this as another evidence of an orange wave. I don't think it was a move to the NDP as much as it was a total rejection of the PC Party of Alberta. There will be some vote analysis done but I would suspect Alberta was a really frustrated electorate. If Notley governs well, then great but if she doesn't, then she will be done. Also keep in mind that Alberta is a very progressive big government province. It is just paid for by oil royalties. It has lead the way in some of the most innovative housing, homeless, poverty reduction and education strategies in North America and do you know what, no one has cared. In fact the Wildrose Party has pushed for more of those kind of programs, especially with seniors care.
I was musing online the other night that if I was in Alberta, I may vote for the Wildrose Party because even I don't think Alberta's big government social contract works in the long run. They may be social conservatives in Alberta but they love to spend money.
For all of the talk of the Klein cuts, let's put that in context, the neo-Conservative NDP under Roy Romanow made even deeper cuts to fight our deficit. Alberta may be the biggest spending government not lead by Bob Rae in history.
The big lesson from last night is that elections matter and polls this early out don't. That doesn't mean that Brad Wall will lose and Cam Broten (or whoever the Liberal leader is will win) but it does mean that we have no idea what will happen a year out. What looked like a political masterstroke to the chattering class five months ago didn't survive last night. Now it is the PC Party of Alberta who could be the weaker party in a merger with the Wildrose Party and the Liberal Party may not exist by next election in Alberta.
I heard a bunch of ridiculous talk that Brad Wall is still unbeatable but at different points so was Jim Prentice or Paul Martin. I remember vote predictions saying that Martin would win over 200 seats and could challenge Brian Mulroney for the largest majority ever. How did that turn out? Back in 1994, the Liberals lead by Linda Haverstock were well ahead in the polls in Saskatchewan.
In Alberta, Notley was at 10% not that long ago. There was a feeling that the NDP would be reduced in seat count and only hold their base in Edmonton.
Last weekend I was out with some politicos. We made some arguments that Brad Wall could win some more seats from the NDP or just as likely the NDP could gain a couple of seats in Saskatoon, Regina, and Prince Albert and end up with like 17 – 19 seats. That is a fearless prediction folks, Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party will either win some more seats or lose some more seats in the next election. Take that prediction to the bank! (of course now that I have said that, things will remain the exact same)
In the end, the average voter doesn't read this blog, doesn't follow you and I on Twitter, doesn't read Murray Mandryk or Andrew Coyne and is focused on getting by in their life and job. They have things like hockey games to get their kids to and they worry about the noise their car is making far more than whatever stunt has just been played in the legislature. Politicos may live and die on what is happening (and for that we have Andrew Coyne, Kady O'Malley, and Murray Mandryk) but the rest of the world doesn't.
Before you scoff at me, in the last city election there were candidates out every night door knocking from now until the election. All of them, winner or loser told me at one point in that cycle that it didn't really make any difference this far out from the election, people weren't engaged.
They pay attention when the writ is dropped and the lawn signs come up. Right now the vast majority of people are going, "What happened in Alberta and how did the NDP win there? I thought that Prentice guy seemed all right." That is the end of it. I actually read one detailed vote analysis in the United States that showed a surprising amount of people (enough to turn electoral votes) voted on how much rain they got that year and the year before. If you are a politician and you just read that last part, you need a hug right now.
So the lessons to take from the Alberta vote. Elections matter. You never know what can happen and probably never say, "look in the mirror" to someone that you need their vote in a couple of weeks. Other than that, there isn't a lot to take away from it.
Will Saskatchewan experience a recession because of falling oil prices?
The Conference Board of Canada predicts this drop will cause Alberta to slip into a recession by the end of the year. Jeff Rubin, the author of "The End of Growth" and former chief economist of CIBC World Markets believes the dip in the sector could affect Saskatchewan as well, though not as seriously.
"I don't expect Saskatchewan or Newfoundland to be as adversely affected as Alberta," Rubin said.
"But it's going to impact the economy, it's going to impact tax revenues. Governments are going to be challenged in the sense that if they don't challenge spending, they'll see their deficits go off side."
It could also affect property prices.
The Conference Board of Canada predicts that Alberta will slip into a recession before the end of the year. Rubin echoes that warning. He said Alberta could experience its worst recession since the late 1980s.
At the end of the day, Saskatchewan will be okay because we have what the world needs.  It may not be as great as it was in 2009 but we will be okay.  That being said, we are so reliant on commodity prices that these kind of dips are going to impact us forever with no way out.  In that way the new Saskatchewan under Brad Wall isn't a lot different than the old Saskatchewan under Grant Devine or Roy Romanow.  Like the rest of the world, the global economy will always have a big impact on us for good or for bad.
Cam Broten has said before that he wants more eggs in more baskets.  I think we all do in Saskatchewan but man is it hard to do.  I posted before about Alberta's struggles in diversifying their economy and the same thing has happened here.  I agree with diversification but we are a province of a million people and there are going to be times that the world economy conspires against us and makes it really hard.  This is one of those times.
As for policy, the Alberta government tried to diversify the Alberta economy in a deliberate fashion back in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Starting under then Premier Peter Lougheed and also under his successor, Don Getty, the provincial government provided loans, loan guarantees and equity stakes to companies in the non-energy sector.
In one example, the provincial government backed "made in Alberta†banks, trust companies and investment firms. After the early 1980s recession and then a mid-decade collapse in oil prices (to $10.25 a barrel in April 1986, down from $26 in December 1985), Alberta's real estate values also plummeted. That took down many of those same provincially guaranteed financial institutions, themselves heavily invested in real estate.
The price tag to the provincial government for that diversification effort was $1.8 billion, for everything from failed loan guarantees to partially covered consumer and investor deposits.
In another diversification attempt, the province also loaned, guaranteed and took equity partnerships in everything from a forestry company to a meat packing plant, a provincial bitumen upgrader, a waste treatment plant and a high-tech company. By the early 1990s, defaults and foregone capital investments from all of the above cost the province $2.2 billion — in addition to the $1.8-billion financial sector collapse.
These efforts didn't help Albertans adjust to a new reality or diversify the economy. It was simply activist industrial policy, where governments pick winners and losers. The latter cropped up more regularly than the former.
Man I really hope that makes it's way onto the official Alberta letterhead
"As of this moment, Alberta is under new management,†Prentice told party members and reporters who gathered at Government House for the ceremony.
I'd even put "under new management†on signs entering into Alberta.
Here are some other new cabinet ministers
"Building a new government means bringing in new blood,†Prentice said. "Both are strong and experienced leaders with a record of accomplishment. Across our province, they are both held in high regard. They will begin work immediately in their new portfolios.â€
Prentice said Mandel has a strong record of public service as the former mayor of Edmonton and is ready to tackle the issues facing Alberta's health-care system. Dirks is a former school board trustee and has served as chair of the troubled Calgary Board of Education.
"Both of these ministers are people of achievement,†Prentice said. He brushed off concerns that appointing unelected cabinet ministers would cause tension in his caucus. "They are exactly the kind of sharp and disciplined minds we want working on behalf of Albertans.â€
Prentice said he will prorogue the legislature ahead of the byelections, but insists it will be brought back in time to preserve the same number of sitting days as originally planned.
I think if you are in the Progressive Conservative caucus and you aren't in caucus, you are probably muttering under your breath to see outsiders named to the cabinet table but at the same time, you also have to realize that you really need to change the reputation of your brand or you will find yourself either in very crowded opposition offices or trying to adjust to like back in the private sector.
Jim Prentice may be an upgrade to the debacle that Alison Redford made of the Progressive Conservative Party but there needs to more than a new leader elected. He needs to put a new look and feel on that government.
Atlas Coal Mine is a National Historic Site near East Coulee, Alberta and one of Alberta's hidden tourism secrets.
Wendy, Mark, Oliver, and I took a 2014 Ford Escape for a week long review and this was one of our destinations. After driving to Drumheller, grabbing a quick lunch and then heading out to the Atlas Coal Mine, we explored the mine, a wooden (and condemned) truss rail bridge that crossed the Red Deer River. On our way back to Drumheller, we stopped in Rosedale and explore the Star Mine Suspension Bridge.
The trip was worth it. If you are in or passing through Drumheller, you need to take a couple of hours and check it out yourself. They are located 20 minutes southeast of Drumheller, along Highway 10 which is a marvelous drive all by itself. Make sure you take some time to check out the Hoodoos, the Star Mine Suspension Bridge and grab an ice cream or a cool drink along many of the roadside diners.
The wooden C.P.R. "Howe Truss" bridge over the Red Deer River at East Coulee was built in 1936 and destroyed by heavy flooding and ice flows in April 1948. It was rebuilt soon thereafter. It was already an old-fashioned design when it was built, as wooden Howe Truss bridges were primarily used in the 19th century.
By 2014 it had several rotten beams and locals had placed down timber and plywood to help one get across. If that wasn't scary enough, there are rattlesnakes that are living in the soft timber and dirt on the bridge.
The Star Mine Suspension Bridge is a 117 metre long pedestrian suspension bridge which crosses the Red Deer River in Rosedale, just outside of Drumheller, Alberta.
Constructed in 1931, the bridge was built for the coal workers of Star Mine. Although once used by miners, the bridge is now a favorite among locals for fishing and to access great Badlands terrain.
Lower ranked soldiers struggle to pay rent in Cold Lake
"A lot of oil patch people will call Cold Lake 'little Fort McMurray,'†said the town's mayor, Craig Copeland.
"Rent in Cold Lake has gone up from five years ago. You used to be able to get a two-bedroom apartment around $1,000 to $1,200 a month and now, because of the latest boom in the oil patch, in the last year and a half or so … rent has really shot up. Now two-bedroom apartments, good ones, are going for between $1,800 to $2,200.â€
About a decade ago, the military stopped subsidizing its on-base housing. Instead, they began to charge the local market rate for rents. In order to maintain a "nationally consistent process,†the military calculates the rents in Ottawa using Canadian Mortgage Housing Corporation data.
That process isn't forgiving to soldiers who live in remote towns struck by oil wealth.
"A normal person would look at this story, see a house built in the '50s and ask 'Why in the world are you charging market rate rents for these people? They work for you? Why do we need to gouge them on the rent?'†said the mayor.
Fearing backlash, few soldiers were willing to speak candidly about the situation. Christine, a soldier's wife with three young children, said even spouses are too concerned to complain publicly.
"We get crap living conditions,†she said. "Every year my husband gets a raise and our rent goes up. It doesn't matter.â€
After almost two years on the base, she said her husband's paycheque of about $58,000 is not covering basic expenses.
"Our paycheques do not pay our day-to-day living. We were very lucky in the sense that when we came here, we had money saved up, but that's all dwindled and we've been pulling out of our house-savings fund,†she said.
"There are no extra-curricular activities for the kids, we didn't have birthday parties for the kids this year, we can't afford it. Our quality of life is shot,†she said.
The mayor estimates 30% of the employees at CFB Cold Lake — many of them young soldiers with young families — have taken second jobs, like delivering pizzas.
A July report on economic conditions at the base from the Canadian Forces Ombudsman found 35% of one unit had taken on second jobs.
"It was to make ends meet,†said Alain Gauthier, the director-general of operations at the Ombudsman's office.
In 2012, the ombudsman held four town hall meetings. He heard from military families who couldn't pay Internet or phone bills, were dipping into their RRSPs and selling their belongings to cover the skyrocketing costs of rent and goods and services.
The report found that the average rent for a three-bedroom home on the base, $1,032, was about double the cost of identical accommodations in Quebec and Nova Scotia.
To add insult to injury, of the 854 homes on the base, almost 97% of them were listed in either poor or fair condition. The report noted that most of the homes have asbestos in the insulation, and many have problems with the electrical outlets and water lines.
So let me get this straight. Â Soldiers in the Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force can be ordered to give up their lives defending our way of life and for the privilege of doing that, they have to live in substandard housing AND take on part time jobs for the right to do so?
The end result?
Unsurprisingly, Cold Lake is registering high release rates as highly skilled soldiers find better-paying work in the labour-starved oil patch right next door.
According to the ombudsman, the release rate in Cold Lake is double the national average. Highly skilled military personnel are leaving their jobs at an alarming rate.
Christine said she had had that very conversation with her husband this week. If it means another three to four years of living in Cold Lake, she said, her family will leave the military.
"We can't physically survive another three to four years here. We're getting closer to debt every month and we don't have snowmobiles or second vehicles. We don't have anything,†she said.
I am pretty sure this isn't just a Canadian problem.  Former General Norman Swatzkoff walked about U.S. soldiers in Europe having to use food banks to feed their families (especially when their wives could not work off the base) and substandard military housing has been a problem for years for most armed forces.  Yet it is disappointing that when you see the money that goes into weapons programs that we can't figure out how to feed our troops and fairly compensate them based on their posting.  On top of that, Canadian soldiers can be punished for having too much debt or declaring bankruptcy.  Putting them into that situation where debt and having to live off of saving is unacceptable.
For the record, I also agree with those voices in the story that say that the soldier should be disciplined for using his helmet and mention himself being in the service while busking. Â Mentioning his military service and using military equipment showed very poor judgement.
An editorial in the New York Times this weekend
Over the last few years, the government of Canada — led by Stephen Harper — has made it harder and harder for publicly financed scientists to communicate with the public and with other scientists.
It began badly enough in 2008 when scientists working for Environment Canada, the federal agency, were told to refer all queries to departmental communications officers. Now the government is doing all it can to monitor and restrict the flow of scientific information, especially concerning research into climate change, fisheries and anything to do with the Alberta tar sands — source of the diluted bitumen that would flow through the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Journalists find themselves unable to reach government scientists; the scientists themselves have organized public protests.
There was trouble of this kind here in the George W. Bush years, when scientists were asked to toe the party line on climate policy and endangered species. But nothing came close to what is being done in Canada.
Science is the gathering of hypotheses and the endless testing of them. It involves checking and double-checking, self-criticism and a willingness to overturn even fundamental assumptions if they prove to be wrong. But none of this can happen without open communication among scientists. This is more than an attack on academic freedom. It is an attempt to guarantee public ignorance.
It is also designed to make sure that nothing gets in the way of the northern resource rush — the feverish effort to mine the earth and the ocean with little regard for environmental consequences. The Harper policy seems designed to make sure that the tar sands project proceeds quietly, with no surprises, no bad news, no alarms from government scientists. To all the other kinds of pollution the tar sands will yield, we must now add another: the degradation of vital streams of research and information.

Though she's been active in country music for three decades now, country's favorite redhead was at the top of her game during the nineties. It was an era when the women ruled country music, and Reba ruled the women.
She was born and raised in Oklahoma. Growing up, she performed with her brother and sister as The Singing McEntires, and also competed in rodeo barrel-racing events. She continued to sing while attending Southeastern Oklahoma University with plans of becoming an elementary school teacher.
She was discovered by Red Steagall when she sang the national anthem at an Oklahoma City rodeo, and with his assistance, she secured a recording contract with Mercury Records. Her first few singles, starting with 1976's "I Don't Want to Be a One-Night Stand" turned out to be commercial flops, but she began achieving modest success in the early eighties. She had her breakthrough with the traditional country-oriented album My Kind of Country, which produced the now-classic hits "How Blue" and "Somebody Should Leave." After a slow rise to superstardom, Reba became one of Nashville's top hitmakers, and was showered with industry awards. She won four straight CMA Female Vocalist Trophies between 1984 and 1987, and even snagged the coveted Entertainer of the Year award in 1986.
Reba continued to thrive well into the nineties with a more contemporary pop-friendly sound. By that time, she had hopped labels, and was recording for MCA. At the beginning of the decade, she released her fifteenth studio album, Rumor Has It. She gave a stellar vocal performance of the song "You Lie," the album's chart-topping first single.
Though it didn't top the charts, the single "Fancy" became one of the best-known Reba anthems. The song's narrator recalls being pushed into prostitution by her own mother as a way of escaping poverty, shakes her finger at those who judge her mother's course, and expresses her determination to rise above such a lifestyle, and to one day become a lady.
Tragedy struck on March 16, 1991, when a plane carrying seven of Reba's band members and her tour manager crashed into the side of a mountain, killing all on board. Reba cites this event as the "darkest hour" of her life, having been devastated by the loss. After the funeral, Reba shocked many be performing at the Academy Awards only nine days after the crash. She performed the song "I'm Checking Out," from the Meryl Streep film Postcards from the Edge. Reba was harshly criticized for returning to work so soon after the disaster, but she believed that her band would have wanted her to go ahead with the performances, and she was determined to do it for them.
Reba poured all of her grief into her 1991 album For My Broken Heart, which she dedicated to her deceased road band. The album included many songs of sorrow, which Reba intended it as "a form of healing for all our broken hearts." The album sold two million copies in nine months, and the first single and title track became another number one hit.
But it wasn't all heartbreak. Reba showed some optimism on the song "Is There Life Out There," which was about a happily married wife and mother who wonders if she's missing out on something in life. The story was fleshed out in the song's music video, in which Reba's character eventually earns a college diploma, viewing it as a chance to make her good life even better. The video, which co-starred Huey Lewis as the character's husband, was one of the first country music videos to feature extensive amounts of character dialogue in order to further the storyline – a characteristic that raised some complaints from CMT, who nearly banned it for putting "message ahead of music." But as it turned out, ingenuity was rewarded with a 1992 ACM Award for Video of the Year. Reba also starred in a CBS-TV movie based on the video.
After selling platinum once again with her 1992 album It's Your Call, Reba had earned the right to release a second greatest hits compilation, which included a few new recordings. One of those songs was the two-woman duet "Does He Love You," which portrayed the perspectives of both a married woman and her husband's mistress as they both pondered over the same question: "Does he love you like he's been loving me?"
Originally, Reba's label was hesitant to release a two-woman duet to country radio, considering it a risky commercial maneuver that could alienate both radio and fans. It was also risky to release it as a duet with a largely unknown background singer such as Linda Davis. But when Reba's labelmates Trisha Yearwood and Wynonna Judd both turned out invitations to record the song with Reba, Linda ultimately filled the role of the other woman. The risk paid off, as the song became a number one hit and one of Reba's most-awarded hits, netting a CMA Award as well as a Grammy. It also provided Linda Davis with her first and only number one single.
Reba's success continued with her 1994 album Read My Mind, but she lost some traction on country radio with the follow-up Staring Over – a pop-flavored covers album. But Reba rebounded in 1996 with What If It's You, an album that produced some of the finest singles of her career. One of them what "The Fear of Being Alone," which featured a compelling storyline that was grounded in the realities of everyday life.
Reba toured with Brooks & Dunn in 1997, and that lead to them recording a duet. "If You See Him/ If You See Her" was included on both of their studio albums, and became another number one hit.
Reba's momentum slowed down slightly with the turn of the millennium, and she became more involved in acting. In 2001, she made her debut as Annie Oakley in the Broadway production of Annie Get Your Gun. Later that year, she premiered her WB sitcom Reba, beginning a successful six-season run on television. She released a handful of new music during this period, including her 2003 album Room to Breathe, which produced her first number one single since 1998 ("Somebody"). She returned again in 2007 with the Reba Duets album, which featured collaborations with a who's-who of superstars and legends of both country and pop music – Kelly Clarkson, Justin Timberlake, LeAnn Rimes, and Carole King, just to name a few.
After a few quiet years at radio, Reba made a strong comeback with her 2009 album Keep On Loving You, which yielded the four-week number one smash "Consider Me Gone" – Reba's first chart-topper since 2003, and the longest running number one single of her career.
There were many talented ladies of the nineties who were deserving of a spot on this countdown, but it was Reba who led the pack. In addition to being one of the most commercially successful female artists of the decade, she also delivered many of the era's best-remembered classics. She also received ample recognition from the award industry during the nineties, receiving five Entertainer of the Year nominations and three ACM Top Female Vocalist Awards. Thus, in determining country music's greatest woman of the nineties, Reba was the clear choice.

The department asked the search giants to hand over millions of records involving what search terms people have used on the sites and what Web sites are accessible via the search engines.
On one level, the situation involves a straightforward question of whether the department's demands are too onerous and therefore not permitted under federal law. On another, the dispute raises novel questions about search engines' privacy protections and the relationship that four tech giants have with the federal government.
What does it all mean, and what happens next? Read on.
Q: What is the Justice Department demanding from search engines?
A: Federal prosecutors have asked Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and America Online to turn over two types of data: logs showing search terms used by people, and a list of Web sites indexed by the companies' search engines.
News.com Poll
Q: Which companies have complied?
The Justice Department isn't talking, at least not yet. Google has opposed the request. Yahoo and AOL have acknowledged complying, saying that they went along with the government's request but did not turn over personally identifiable information. At the time this was written, Microsoft was refusing to say anything, but the ACLU has confirmed that the company did comply.
Q: What information was turned over?
We don't know. The Justice Department initially demanded that the four companies divulge "all URLs that are available to be located through a query on your company's search engine as of July 31, 2005." The subpoena also asked for "all queries that have been entered on your company's search engine between June 1, 2005 and July 31, 2005, inclusive."
But at least when trying to negotiate with Google, the Justice Department eventually narrowed that request to a "random sample of 1 million URLs" and "copies of the text of each search string entered onto Google's search engine over a 1-week period."
Q: So we don't know whether Microsoft, Yahoo and AOL went along with the initial request, or whether they negotiated a better deal?
Exactly. We just don't know, at least not yet, and they're not providing details.
AOL came the closest, saying it turned over a list of "aggregate and anonymous search terms, and not results, from a roughly 1-day period." But it refused to elaborate.
Q: Is there any law preventing a company from talking to the press?
Nope. If they chose, they could disclose all the negotiations that took place, release the correspondence they exchanged with prosecutors and so on. It's a little odd that they're being so tight-lipped.
Or they could have done what Google did and fought the Justice Department in court.
Q: I used those search engines in June and July. Should I be worried about my privacy?
It depends. If you typed in search terms that you consider to be private or confidential, you should be concerned. Such terms might include personal information about you, such as your name or street address.
But what's important to note is that the Justice Department has not been asking for any information that would link those search terms to your identity. It hasn't requested Internet Protocol addresses.
So if you typed in search terms indicating that you, say, have a healthy interest in marijuana cultivation, the data turned over won't implicate you.
Q: The subpoena came from the Justice Department's civil division. Will the attorneys there share the data with their colleagues at the department's criminal division or the FBI?
No law would appear to prohibit them from doing so. A protective order does say that only Justice Department attorneys "who have a need" for the information may receive it.
If the disclosed search logs show evidence of criminal activity, that language may be vague enough to let prosecutors return with a second subpoena to demand the identification of one or more Internet addresses linked with those search terms. Terror-related searches are another likely area of information-sharing--President Bush likes to talk about how "law enforcement officers should not be denied vital information their own colleagues already have."
There has, however, been no evidence that the Justice Department has or has not done this to date.

Schezuan Chicken
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 0 mins
I clipped this recipe from the newspaper over twenty years ago. When it was just DH & I, this was a favorite. The kids aren't so fond of spicy foods, so I don't serve it often anymore. The first time I served it, I used the wrong spices for "heat" by mistake. When I checked the conversion later on, it turned out to be twelve times too hot. DH should've gotten a medal for eating it. But when the spices are balanced, this is a great dish.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 chicken breasts, boned,skinned,& cut into thin strips
- 1⁄4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 2 cups julienne carrots
- 1 (6 ounce) package snow peas, thawed & drained
- In a wok or large skillet, over high heat, heat oil.
- Add garlic& saute 1 minute.
- Add chicken& stir fry till pieces turn white.
- Combine soy sauce, sherry, sugar, cornstarch, ginger,& Tobasco sauce.
- Add to skillet along with carrots.
- Stir fry for 3 minutes.
- Add snow peas& stir fry for 3 minutes longer.

terrific. I also added some green onions.
First, I halved the recipe and made 2 generous servings over jasmine rice. Next, I increased the amount of garlic, used freshly grated ginger and used 1 1/2 teaspoons Sambal Oelek instead of the Tabasco. The snow peas were fresh and added some julienned summer squash to increase the amount of veggies. Stir-fry is a great choice on a weeknight--quick and easy.
I added 1 small onion sliced,1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger to the garlic. Used a sweet sherry. I subbed endorphine sauce {Real hot} for the tabasco sauce. In place of the snow peas I used baby zucchini. I srved this over brown rice. Thank you Judy for posting this delish easy dish!

I've searched for this and found lots of people ask, and lots of people solve it different ways.
I see that it's generally frowned upon to have loads of line breaks to space something out, when in a blog-style. This is fine. I've no problem with this.
But I'm trying to do a "biography" page to go with it, and as it's a shared blog between three of us, I'd like to do a few line returns between each person. I don't really want to do them all on separate pages, and I don't really know what to do with CSS. It is only for that one page, and it's a static page.
I've tried switching to html mode and adding in break tags manually, but when I preview/submit, there's just the one line there.
In visual mode, hitting return does a new paragraph, shift-return does a line break, but no matter which one I use, it goes back to just one line break, when previewed/submitted.
I see some people's "about us" type pages on their WordPress blogs use horizontal lines between sections, but this looks a bit oldskool to me, so if at all possible it'd be nice not to have to resort to that.
Anyone shed some light on this?

Skip to comments.New Book : 'Chicks with Guns': Some 15 million US women pack heat
Posted on 09/28/2011 9:46:08 AM PDT by Scythian
Pop quiz: Name one accessory that grandmothers, moms, girls, wealthy socialites, middle-class females and low-income women might be likely to own and cherish all across America.
If you answered a gun, youd be correct.
Based on polling research and gun-sale statistics, an estimated 15 million to 20 million women in the United States own their own firearms. Dozens of those heat-packing women are documented in Chicks with Guns, a new book by photographer Lindsay McCrum that is sure to challenge almost anyones assumptions about gun ownership.
Their numbers are really high but their profile is actually really low, said McCrum, who spent three and a half years capturing artistic and arresting portraits of women with their weapons of choice.
I was so surprised by the variety and breadth and diversity of these women, McCrum said. There are so many stereotypes about guns, mostly derived from popular culture, but the reality is so much more complex and varied than you can imagine.
(Excerpt) Read more at today.msnbc.msn.com ...
Is this a book or a calendar?
I'd buy either...
Interesting photos, but somewhat beside the point. It is the handgun that is the firearm of choice for personal protection, for obvious reasons.
In the words of Billy Squier..., "My kind of lover, my kind of lover..."
where's the hand gun :-)?
Gun ownership is now classified as "packing heat".
My wife is one of those who believes "Don't leave home without it".
Caption the first photo:
The Most dangerous place in the world is between a mother and her child.
"Packing heat" is 1930s era Chicago gangster lingo.
Today's terminology is correctly referred to as "concealed carry."
Again, the media is clueless.
Someone say Chicks with Guns?????????????????
Go to the slide show ... enough handguns to suit ya. But really, do you believe women who are comfortable with shotgun and rifle are not going to have a handgun stashed someplace handy?
this is up your alley....
The ending is quite funny!!
Mine as well and her mom also packs a firearm. Her mom is a concealed deadly weapons instructor and usually buys me a new gun each Christmas. She's a sweetie like her daughter.
Thanks for posting. I just ordered it from Amazon to arrive Friday.
If only those looked like chicks?
It's kind of annoying thought when you have to wait so long to get in some practice...a good kind of annoying! :)
My wife carries two: A S&W j frame in her purse and a Ruger LCP in her pocket
Ya, I like that photo too, for the longest time I didn't even notice she was holding a gun ...
Second pic, on the rug, close at hand...
She's got a gun?
does G. Gordon Liddy still sell that Packed and Stacked Calendar he used to plug?
My sister-in-law says that I "pack heat." I don't think that she approves. My brother, some time ago, said out of a clear blue sky, "only the army and cops should have guns." Their house is gun-free. We are sons of a retired Detroit cop, and are both vets, but the similarities end there.
But that first pictue of the thong as weapon holder is just WRONG!
Kinda looks like Dana Loesch.
"Loesch lives in south St. Louis, shops at Costco and Trader Joe's, loves Stag and French-press coffee, sets off her tattoos with diamond earrings and likes to fiddle with hydrangeas and handguns. She can cite Scripture without having to open the Old Testament and digs the irreverence of Penn & Teller."
What is it about contemporary photography that they have to make everyone look like a loser wierdo?
She's got the right stuff for sure.
wierdo = weirdo
I hate that WIBC only has her for an hour. I usually turned off after Rush, but I was outside working on the deck and she came on. I'm going, 'who is this chick - she rocks!'. I now stream her show through my iPhone "TuneIn Radio" app.
Personally, I think she needs three hours following Rush. That would give us six hours of conservative broadcast goodness.
And she loves bacon.
WIBC is only the second station in the US to pick her up. I'm guessing that they are going to decide based on her ratings.
It's kind of ironic that WIBC is owned by mega liberal Jeff Smulyan but has Garrison, Rush, and Dana on all day.
At least the guy knows what sells in the marketplace.
I like the ending of this one better . . .
Well Emmis does own both stations. I guess we need to contact WIBC and demand the full two hours. Cause streaming can suck, especially if your driving through the country and cell service drops off or switches to slo-tech.
Now, here is a Girl with a real gun. She is an AC-130 Gunner.
Vanessa Dobos is a gunner on a USAF AC-130 Gunship. She has seen action in Iraq and Afghanistan. She likes long walks on the beach, men who are not afraid to cry and puppies.
Her dislikes include feed tray stoppages, tracer flareout of her NVGs and premature fixed-wing strikes scattering her high-value targets.
How many men own guns?
P.S. Owning a gun does NOT equal "packing heat." The LSM strikes again.
BTW, the mods removed my post!
"Again, the media is clueless."
As usual.
But, to claim that merely owning a gun equates to "packing heat" is ridiculous. Not every gun is carried around in a purse or a pocket. Some actually are housed in a long case and are used to harvest wild game or crush clay targets.

you can try radio shack
Posted 08 May 2004 - 04:20 PM
They're called project boards or bread boards.....radioshack has them, but they charge 20 times what you should be able to get them for. If you've got a local place that sells electronic surplus supplies and such, they should have them, too.
Posted 08 May 2004 - 10:38 PM
naw i'm not talking bread boards. I have a bunch of those laying around. The white rectangle thing. I mean it's just like a green PCB board with holes to put IC chips and stuff

Academic Law Fellows: 2015-2016
the clough center for the study of constitutional democracy
The Clough Center recognizes Boston College Law Students of exceptional academic ability and accomplishment who are enrolled in any of the Law School's degree programs. The 2015-16 Academic Law Fellows are:
Thanithia Billings
Thanithia Billings is a law student at Boston College. Originally from a small town in Georgia, she received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Princeton University in Princeton, NJ. Her undergraduate thesis was entitled The Effects of Race and Gender on Impression Formation. During her time at Princeton, she was the captain of the varsity track team, which helped her develop an interest in the organizational structure of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). After law school, she hopes to stay in Boston working at a law firm with plans to eventually work in college athletics. She strongly believes that the way in which the NCAA operates is not sustainable from a legal prospective, and lawyers are going to be the driving force behind a large shift in college athletic governance.
Mary Pat Brogan
Mary Pat Brogan, a current Boston College Law School student, grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2011, earning a Bachelor of Arts in History and in English. After graduation, she participated in MercyWorks Volunteer Program, a year long full-time program at Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, a therapeutic residential program for teenagers in Chicago, IL. There she worked with young men between ages 17 and 21 using a strengths based perspective to foster personal growth and healthy development. The following year, she worked in the After School Programs department at Mercy Home, developing extra-curricular programs, facilitating a tutoring program and running a summer enrichment program for the young men in the home.
During her first summer of law school, Mary Pat worked at the National Juvenile Defender Center in Washington, D.C. as a summer law clerk. The mission of the National Juvenile Defender Center is to promote justice for all children by ensuring excellence in juvenile defense.
During her second year of law school, Mary Pat participated in the Juvenile Rights Advocacy Project (JRAP), a clinical experience during which she represented youth involved in the juvenile justice system and who required representation in asserting their education rights. Students in JRAP provide individual, thorough legal representation to their clients. As part of her JRAP experience, Mary Pat also assisted at the Law Offices of Sarah E. Lyons, where she worked on care and protection cases.
This summer, Mary Pat will work at the Maryland Office of the Public Defender in Howard County with their juvenile defense team.
In her third year of law school, Mary Pat will participate in the Ninth Circuit Appellate Project. Under the supervision of Professor Kari Hong, she will work with another student to prepare briefs and argue an immigration case before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In the future, Mary Pat hopes to continue to work with young people as an advocate. She hopes to practice as a juvenile defense attorney in a public defender's office.
Patrick Gaudet
Patrick Gaudet is a rising second-year law student at Boston College Law School. He was born in Concord, Massachusetts, but has lived in Colorado, Ohio, and Illinois. Patrick attended the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio, majoring in philosophy. He spent his 1L summer as a judicial intern in United States District Judge for the District of Massachusetts Timothy S. Hillman in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Patrick is interested in punishment theory, particularly problems regarding proportionality and moral epistemology and its impact on justice. His senior thesis project at the College of Wooster discussed and defended a theory of punishment based on the work of Warren Quinn, wherein punishment is justified as the product of a natural right to issue and enforce self-protective threats.
When he is not working or studying, Patrick enjoys playing video games, hiking, reading, and whitewater kayaking. Following graduation, he hopes to pursue a legal career in corporate law.
Brian Shaud
Brian Shaud is a member of the Boston College Law School Class of 2017. He grew up in Swarthmore, PA and received his B.A. in government from Georgetown University in 2012. As an undergraduate student, Brian focused on American government and political theory, including writing about apparent inconsistencies in Samuel Pufendorf's theory of the state.
While at Georgetown, Brian worked in the United States Senate and at a political consulting group, researching pending Congressional legislation and federal agency regulations. He worked as a middle school mathematics teacher in Philadelphia after graduating, as a Teaching Fellow through The New Teacher Project. He joined Community Legal Services of Philadelphia in fall 2013, where he worked to education tenants of the Philadelphia House Authority about their legal rights.
Brian looks forward to his upcoming judicial internship with Federal District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly this summer in Washington, DC. He serves as an Auction Chair for BC Law's Public Interest Law Foundation and reached the final round of the 2014 BC Law Negotiations Competition. Brian looks forward to building on his experience in government and the non-profit sector by practicing law in the public interest after graduating.
Larissa Warren
Larissa M. Warren is a dual degree graduate student at Boston College, pursuing a J.D. and M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. She is a graduate of Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology. Prior to beginning her graduate program, Larissa served as Executive Director of a rural non-profit that provides shelter and support services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. In that role, she participated in multi-disciplinary efforts to prevent and respond to child abuse and sexual assault. That experience developed an understanding of the necessity of engaging multiple fields and perspectives in solving social problems. She is also a graduate of Drury Police Academy and volunteered as a reserve sheriff's deputy in rural Missouri.
Larissa believes in a holistic, community-driven approach to criminal justice reform. She seeks to equip fellow citizens with knowledge, passion, and resources to positively participate in their communities. Through dual J.D./M.Ed. training, Larissa hopes to facilitate partnerships between the education and traditional criminal justice systems to prevent crime by empowering families fostering inclusion, and offering diverse opportunities.
During her final graduate year, Larissa plans to study the ways constitutions influence culture and community. She hopes to engage in comparative constitutional analysis of the impact of human rights provisions and means of popular interaction with the constitution on societies. Furthermore, she intends to examine effective means of mobilizing citizens to become active parts of their constitutional democracies.
Amelia Wirts
Amelia M. Wirts is working on a joint degree in philosophy and law at Boston College. After receiving a B.A. in philosophy and a B.S. in communication studies from University of Oregon in 2009, she began her PhD in philosophy in 2010. She recently defended her dissertation proposal, and is currently working toward the JD portion of her joint degree while doing research for her dissertation.
Amelia's dissertation argues that democratic legitimacy as understood by political philosophers is impoverished by idealization that does not account for the reality of concrete individuals and groups who work to oppose injustice. This idealization has led philosophers to overemphasize the role of legislatures in securing democratic legitimacy. To counter this narrative, she will examine not only the ways that laws are created, but also the ways in which they are implemented through court rulings and administrative regulations. One fruitful source for understanding legal implementation are the practices of those who legally advocate for women and other oppressed groups. Understanding actual legal practice illuminates the relationship between legitimacy and conceptions of justice held by everyday individuals. It also forces a re-examination of how democratic legitimacy is theorized and evaluated. In the course of exploring this relationship between legitimacy, conceptions of justice, and actual legal practices, she will discuss the normative foundations and justifications of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), as well as its regulations and interpretations that effect women's lives on the ground.
Understanding legitimacy in both the moment of legal legislation and the moment of implementation shows how democratic legitimacy both reflects and shapes our shared values. This happens domestically, but also internationally. On the international level, following Seyla Benhabib, Amelia will argue that human rights and other international legal structures can similarly empower women as they fight against unjust oppression, but not through a top down enforcement mechanism. Like the domestic case, publically justified international laws become tools for women as they make claims against their own governments, communities, and religious organizations. For an international example, she will explore the role of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
While in law school, Amelia hopes to gain helpful insight into substantive areas of law that relate to alleviating gender-based oppression, including family and criminal law. She also is working to gain an understanding of how the practice of law relates to the democratic institutions that shape our lives.
When she finishes her joint degree, Amelia hopes to continue her research projects as a professor of philosophy and/or law. In the meantime, she is excited to continue the law portion of her joint degree.
Timothy Wright
Timothy Wright is a 2016 J.D. candidate at the Boston College Law School. Tim's background draws on both entrepreneurialism and environmental law. Prior to law school, Tim co-developed an award-winning electronic device that tests water quality using cellular phones. Then, during his first year at BCLS, Tim complemented his studies by working as a compliance analyst at an applied environmental research group. Known as pH Global, the group designs mathematical algorithms to detect erosion in dams, oil pipelines, and highways. In his position, Tim negotiated the acquisition of fiber-optic temperature data from a Korean-based outfit and helped draft portions of a licensing agreement that grants clients the right to use certain proprietary software.
Tim's entrepreneurial drive has paralleled his academic focus on environmental issues, particularly those involving international transboundary governance, resource demand, and, uniquely, presidential power. As a Wingspread Fellow at Northwestern University, Tim conducted a fourteen-month research study on the Nile Basin, analyzing 150 years of bilateral environmental accords between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. Later, Tim published his dissertation on maritime delimitation under famed LSE Professor Michael Mason. Those writing experiences helped Tim explore complex legal problems in environmental law at BC. As a staff writer (and now symposium editor) for the Environmental Affairs Law Review, he investigated the president's constitutional power to exempt federal agencies from adhering to environmental regulations.
Entering his third and final year, Tim is interested in continuing his research on presidential power in environmental law. Using his knowledge on international transboundary governance and resource demand, he wants to better understand the president's constitutional prerogative, if any, in international environmental crises. After graduation, Tim hopes to draw on his knowledge from BCLS and his past startup experiences while working at a corporate law firm.
Tim received his Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and international studies from Northwestern University in 2010. He also was awarded a Master's degree from the London School of Economics.

Galactorrhea occurred after use of oral contraceptives in three sisters with oligo-ovulation. Pituitary function was studied by radioimmunoassay determination of plasma growth hormone level after pyrogen stimulation, radioimmunoassay determination of follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormone during clomiphene citrate stimulation, measurement of plasma cortisol level, and thyroid function studies. Results suggest normal pituitary responsiveness to provocative stimuli and support the concept that the control of ovulation is functionally independent of the control of lactation.
