FDA rejects Insys Therapeutics sublingual opioid spray
The FDA has rejected Insys Therapeutics buprenorphine sublingual spray due to concerns about the safety of the Arizona-based company's opioid painkiller.
The US regulator's decision has come after the FDA advisory committee voted 18-1 against approval of the treatment. The American company sought approval for the sublingual spray, which uses the active ingredient buprenorphine, for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain earlier this year. However the FDA has rejected the application due to potential safety concerns.
Steve Sherman, Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs for Insys Therapeutics commented: "Given the attributes of our proprietary buprenorphine formulation for sublingual delivery, we continue to believe that this drug-device combination could bring value to the management of pain and will assess the next steps in the context of the company's overall mission."
While buprenorphine was first approved for medical use in the US in 1981, the drug is associated with respiratory depression and opioid addiction. The rejection comes in the midst of the opioid crisis that carries a death toll of 115 people each day in the United States alone.
The rejection may precipitate a backlash against opioid painkillers as Donald Trump declared the crisis a 'health emergency'. While lawsuits were filed against OxyContin drug maker Purdue Pharma and demonstrators led a 'die in' in protest against the Sackler Family's ties to Harvard art museums this year, Insys founder John Kapoor and the company's CEO Michael Babich were indicted for allegedly bribing doctors in October of last year.
Overall roughly 21 to 29% of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain, misuse the powerful painkillers, while 8 to 12% of patients develop an opioid use disorder. Significantly 80% of heroin users first used prescription opioids before transitioning to heroin. The opioid crisis has caused widespread social disruption as it reaped a death toll of 33,000 in 2015 while an estimated 2 million people in the United States suffered from substance abuse disorders in the same year.

Can Texas stop the TCU trend?
Historically, the rivalry series between Texas and Texas Christian University (TCU) has been lopsided. Texas leads the overall series 62-25-1, but TCU has won the last four contests in blowout fashion. Texas last won in 2013, when Mack Brown's Longhorns marched into Fort Worth and claimed a 30-7 victory, aided by the arm of quarterback Case McCoy, who threw for 228 yards, and running back Malcolm Brown, who powered in for two touchdowns.
Since joining the Big 12 in 2012, TCU has been the most successful program in the state of Texas. Under coach Gary Patterson, the Horned Frogs are 51-27 during that span with two 11-win seasons and one 12-win season in 2014. That year, TCU shared the Big 12 title with Baylor and went on to defeat No. 9 Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl, 45-3. Texas, on the other hand, is on its third head coach and has posted a 40-36 record during that same stretch. The Longhorns' two bowl wins (Alamo Bowl in 2012, Texas Bowl in 2017) have both occurred inside the borders of the state of Texas.
This year's storyline is whether the Longhorns and Horned Frogs can settle down after a big week last week—Texas stuffed Southern Cal in Austin while TCU lost to No. 4 Ohio State in Arlington—and if the Longhorns can reverse course in the rivalry. Even Texas head coach Tom Herman recognizes that the series has been trending in favor of TCU.
"It's a team that quite frankly has had our program's number for the last few years," Herman recently admitted. H&A

Now Is the Right Time!
As a parent, you play an essential role in your child's/teen's success. There are intentional ways to grow a healthy parent-child relationship, and growing your child's/teen's skills to manage anger provides a perfect opportunity.
Children ages 11-14 are still in the process of learning about their strong and changing feelings. They do not fully understand the physical and mental take over that can occur when angry. While striving for more independence, the sense of a lack of control that anger can produce can frighten them adding to the length and intensity of their upset. It might also humiliate them if they are mad in front of respected others like teachers, siblings, friends, or relatives. Learning how to deal with anger without suppressing it or expressing it by hurting others and/or themselves is critical. And, your support as parents matters greatly.
Research confirms that when children/teens learn to tolerate, manage, and express their emotions, it simultaneously strengthens their executive functioning skills.1 They are better able to use self-control, solve problems, and focus their attention. This directly impacts their school success. However, the opposite is also true. Those children/teens who do not learn to manage their emotions through the guidance and support of caring adults have attention issues and difficulty in problem solving.
Yet, we all face challenges in managing anger. Your child/teen may slam the bedroom door as they refuse to tell you what is happening and why they are so upset. Or, you may hear from a teacher that your child/teen has been aggressive or said something hurtful to another student. Anger may cover hurt, humiliation, fear, and stress. It may also mask guilt, shame, grief, or envy. Or, it could be the tip of an iceberg with a mass below of frustration.
The key to many parenting challenges, like managing anger, is finding ways to communicate so that both your needs and your child's/teen's needs are met. The steps below include specific, practical strategies along with effective conversation starters to prepare you to help your child/teen work through their roughest, most intense emotional times in ways that grow their resilience.
Why Anger?
Whether it's your eleven-year-old melting down in frustration over trying to get math homework accomplished or your thirteen-year-old yelling after not being allowed to go to an unsupervised party, anger and its many accompanying emotions can become regular challenges if you don't help your child/teen create plans and strategies for dealing with and expressing anger.
Today, in the short term, learning to manage anger can create:
- a sense of confidence in your child/teen that they can regain calm and focus;
- trust in each other that you and your child/teen have the competence to manage a range of feelings; and
- added daily peace of mind.
Tomorrow, in the long term, your child/teen:
- builds skills in self-awareness;
- builds skills in self-control and managing emotions; and
- builds assertive communication to communicate needs and boundaries critical for keeping them safe and ready to deal with peer pressure.
Five Steps for Managing Anger
This five-step process helps you and your child/teen manage anger. It also builds important skills in your child/teen. The same process can be used to address other parenting issues as well (learn more about the process).
These steps are best done when you and your child/teen are not tired or in a rush.
Intentional communication and a healthy parenting relationship support these steps.
Step 1. Get Your Child/Teen Thinking by Getting Their Input
You can get your child/teen thinking about ways to manage their most upsetting emotions constructively by asking them open-ended questions. You'll help prompt your child's/teen's thinking. You and your child/teen will also begin to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and challenges related to managing their intense emotions so that you both can address them. In gaining input, your child/teen:
- has the opportunity to become more aware of how they are thinking and feeling and understand when the cause of their upset is anger related;
- can think through and problem solve any challenges they may encounter ahead of time;
- has a greater stake in anything they've thought through and designed themselves, and with that sense of ownership, comes a greater responsibility for implementing new strategies; and
- will be working with you on making informed decisions (and understanding the reasons behind those decisions) about critical aspects of their life.
- Be curious about your child's/teen's feelings. You might start by asking:
- "How do you know when you are angry?"
- "What are some common things that make you angry?"
- "How can you tell when someone is angry with you? And what happens for you when someone is angry with you?"
- Use your best listening skills! Remember, what makes a parent angry can differ greatly from what angers a child/teen. Listen closely to what is most concerning to your child/teen without projecting your own thoughts, concerns, and feelings.
- Reflect or paraphrase back what you hear. For example, if your child/teen says, "I'm so mad at my friend, he picked all my friends but me for his team." You could say, "So I hear that he picked all your friends but not you, and I imagine you felt left out."
- Make guesses about other deeper feelings if your child/teen gives you some evidence for your guesses. Remember these guesses are based on them, not you. You are naming something your child/teen is not saying. For example, you could say, "I imagine not feeling picked made you feel hurt as well."
- Help your child/teen make the mind-body connection. Ask your child/teen, "What clues did your body give you that you were angry?" You can also say, "What are you feeling in your body now as you talk about it?"
What makes a parent angry can differ greatly from what angers a child/teen. Listen closely to what is most concerning to them. Don't try and change it and don't explain it away.
Be sure you talk about anger at a calm time when you are not stressed or upset!
Step 2. Teach New Skills by Interactive Modeling
Because anger occurs as we go about our daily lives, we may not consider its impact on our child/teen and our relationship with them. Learning about what developmental milestones a child/teen is working on can help a parent know when their ages and stages might be contributing to anger or frustration. Here are some examples:2
- Eleven-year-olds are trying to assert their independence by imagining themselves in adult roles. They may get angry when they feel that you are exerting control when they are attempting to push away from you. As they grow their social awareness, being able to better see from another person's perspective, they also increase their worries about being liked, who's "in" and who's "out," and may engage in excluding others in order to gain popularity. They may get angry when they are excluded or embarrassed in front of peers.
- Twelve-year-olds are gaining confidence and leadership abilities, and they are eager to figure out more serious adult issues and where they stand. Disturbing news and social issues could preoccupy them more than ever with their growing social awareness. They also have a lot of energy and need for sleep so they may have less resilience – finding themselves more rundown by stress – when they have stayed up late. They may be edgy and moody or anger easily as they deal with that stress.
- Thirteen-year-olds can have worries related to their newly acquired body changes. They can be highly sensitive as they work to define their independent identity while still being dependent upon you. They will feel an ever greater sense of peer pressure, and though they may be pushing you away, they also require your continued support and guidance including needing your approval. These sensitivities can spur anger when they feel misunderstood and desire more freedom.
- Fourteen-year-olds may act invincible and like they know it all. Despite this, they still look to adults to set boundaries, negotiate rules, and listen to their needs. They are gaining interest in others as romantic partners and will have crushes, broken hearts, and worries related to the world of relationships. They could get angry if they are embarrassed or rejected in front of peers and particularly crushes. They may enjoy academic challenges until they feel overwhelmed or underprepared, and then they may claim they are "bored" as a way of saving their reputation but in reality are stressed that they are not competent. This fear of failure can lead to anger.
Teaching is different than just telling. Teaching builds basic skills, grows problem-solving abilities, and sets your child up for success. Teaching also involves modeling and practicing the positive behaviors you want to see, promoting skills, and preventing problems. This is also an opportunity to establish meaningful, logical consequences for when expectations are not met.
- Learn together! Anger or hurt is an important message from ourselves in which to pay attention. It means our emotional, social, or physical needs are not getting met or necessary boundaries (our rules or values) are being violated. It's important to ask: "Why am I feeling this way? What needs to change in order to feel better?"
- Understand your mind when angry. Anytime you are emotionally shaken from fear, anxiety, anger, or hurt, you are functioning from the part of your brain that developed first – the primal brain – or amygdala. During these intense feelings, there is a chemical that washes over the rest of your brain that cuts off access so that your only functioning abilities are in your survival center. This "hijacking" of your brain, as Daniel Goleman author of Emotional Intelligence refers to it, serves a critical role.3 In true survival circumstances, you are able to focus on fighting, fleeing, or freezing. If you are being hunted by a tiger, your mind focuses immediately on running away. Your body surges with hormones, such as adrenaline, that give you an extra boost of energy. A high level of anger can quite literally paralyze thinking. Effective problem solving requires logic, language, and creativity though none can be well utilized when greatly upset. But in family life, fighting with words or actions or fleeing out the door is often not constructive, safe, or practical. Creating a plan (as you will be guided to do in the tool that follows) for what each member can do when they are in this state of mind and practicing it can prepare all members to act with emotional intelligence during a crisis, big or small.
- Understanding this often misunderstood emotion is key to helping our children/teens better understand themselves and learn healthy ways to manage their intense feelings. The following are some ideas to think about:4,5
- Anger is not bad or negative. We should not avoid or shut down the experience of it. There's good reason for it. We have all experienced someone in our lives who has lost control and acted in ways that harmed themselves or others when angry. However, we know that every emotion, including anger, serves a critical purpose. Anger provides essential information about who we are, what emotional or physical needs are not getting met, and where our boundaries lie.
- Expressing anger such as yelling will not dissipate it. In fact, research confirms that the expression of aggression whether it's yelling or hitting (and that includes parents hitting, yelling, or spanking) exacerbates the anger.2
- Venting such as complaining, ranting, or even mumbling does not get out the upset thoughts and feelings. In fact, venting is to anger as rumination is to worry. We can churn through worrying thoughts in our minds repeatedly, but those thoughts go nowhere and ultimately are unproductive. So too venting, whether we are listing off our complaints to another or talking to ourselves, tends to reinforce our negative thinking. That's because it does not offer an alternative view of the situation nor does it pose any solutions. Because venting doesn't change thinking, the feeling persists.
- Avoiding or pretending you are not angry will not make it go away in time. Because the emotion – like any other emotion – is emerging to send a vital message to its owner, it cannot be avoided or denied. When turned inward, that anger can become destructive in the body. Also, when anger is buried, it can be stuffed down for a time but may contribute to a larger explosion (that may not have occurred otherwise) because of the build up of heated emotions over time.
Deep breathing is not just a nice thing to do. It actually removes the chemical that has flowed over your brain so that you regain access to your creativity, language, and logic versus staying stuck in your primal brain. Practicing deep breathing with your child/teen can offer them a powerful tool to use anytime and anywhere they feel overcome with heated emotions.
- Model behaviors (and your child/teen will notice and learn!).4 Here are some ways that you can deal with your own upset or anger.
- Create a plan. This is critical so you'll know exactly what you'll say, where you'll go to calm down, and what you'll do and consider when you are calming down. Then, prepare your family so that they understand your plan, will recognize it when they see it, and can learn from it.
- Recognize your anger. This self-awareness can come from a number of cues. Take note of physical symptoms – when they happen. It can cue you into the need to calm down before choosing your next words or actions. Notice the signs, discuss what signs your child/teen notices, and take the following steps.
- Breathe first. Slowing down your breathing serves a critical biological function. It allows those hormones that have surged from your anger to recede. Your body is able to regain its composure. And, your brain is able to think beyond fight, flight, or freeze. Practice deep breathing audibly. Try breathing deeply through your nose while constricting your throat slightly producing a sound like the waves of the sea. Not only will the sound help calm you, but it will also emphasize and call attention to your breath for your child/teen to observe.
- Use strange calm. Switch into slow motion. Use the burst of energy to become extremely slow and intentional about using your body. Breathe and go within to regain your calm. No matter what chaos is happening around you, you can be assured that you will accomplish nothing – except perhaps to make matters more contentious – by reacting in an angry moment.
- Walk outside. The fresh air helps you breathe better, and the natural surroundings are instantly calming.
- Distract yourself. Research has found that distraction really does work to calm rage. Books, television, or movies can help.
- Write. Writing down your angry thoughts (versus ruminating in your head about them) can offer you a chance to re-evaluate your situation. You can reframe it, look at it from another perspective, or search for the silver lining. When you reflect in your writing on what you can learn from the situation, it has a calming effect.
- Brainstorm coping strategies. There are numerous coping strategies you and your child/teen can use depending on what feels right. But, when you are really angry and upset, it can be difficult to recall what will make you feel better. That's why brainstorming a list, writing it down, and keeping it at the ready can come in handy when your child/teen really needs it. Here are some ideas from Janine Halloran, the author of Coping Skills for Kids:6 imagine your favorite place, take a walk, get a drink of water, take deep breaths, count to 50, draw, listen to music, build something.
- Work on your family feelings vocabulary. Yes, at times, parents have to become a feelings detective. If our child/teen shuts down and refuses to tell us what's going on, we have to dig for clues. In fact, it's necessary to be able to identify our emotions to become more self-aware and successfully manage our emotions.
Though at times it can feel like it, there are no "bad" emotions. All emotions have a positive intention. In fact, every feeling we have is a vital message from our ourselves quickly interpreting what's happening around us. Because feelings are merely that – an instant interpretation – we always have the opportunity to reinterpret our circumstances and our response to our feelings.
When you are reflecting on your child's/teen's feelings, you can think about unpacking a suitcase. Frequently, there are layers of emotions that need to be examined and understood not just one. Anger might just be the top layer. So after you've discovered why your child/teen was angry, you might ask about other layers. Was there hurt or a sense of rejection involved? Perhaps your child/teen feels embarrassed? Fully unpacking the suitcase of emotions will help your child/teen feel better understood by you as they become more self-aware.
- Create a chill zone. During time without pressures, design a "chill zone" or place where your child/teen decides they would like to go to when upset to feel better.
Tip and Trap
The only way this space serves as a tool for parents to promote their child's/teen's self-management skills is if they allow their child/teen to self-select the chill zone. You can and should practice using it and gently remind them of it when they are upset. "Would your chill zone help you feel better?" you might ask. But if that space is ever used as a punishment or a directive – "Go to your chill zone!" – the control lies in the parents and no longer in your child/teen, and the opportunity for skill building is lost.
- Design a plan. When you've learned about what happens in your brain and body when anger takes over, you know you need a plan at the ready so you don't have to think in that moment.
- Teach your child/teen how to stop rumination. If you catch your child/teen uttering the same upsetting story more than once, then your child's/teen's mind has hopped onto the hamster wheel of rumination. In these times, it can be difficult to let go.
- Talk to your child/teen about the fact that reviewing the same concerns over and again will not help them resolve the issue, but talking about them, calming down, and learning more might help. Setting a positive goal for change will help. Discuss what they can do when they are thinking through the same upsetting thoughts.
- Reflect on your child's/teen's anger so you can be prepared to help. Ask yourself:
- "What needs is my child/teen not getting met?" Their needs can be emotional needs like needing a friend to listen or give them attention, needing some alone time, or needing to escape a chaotic environment.
- "Can the issue be addressed by my child/teen alone or do they need to communicate a need, ask for help, or set a boundary?" One of the hardest steps to take for many can be asking for help or drawing a critical boundary line when it's needed. You'll need to find out what those issues are in your reflections with your child/teen first. But then, guiding them to communicate their need is key.
- Help your child/teen to repair harm when needed. A critical step in teaching your child/teen about managing anger is learning how to repair harm when they've caused it. Mistakes are a critical aspect of their social learning. We all have our moments when we hurt another. But it's that next step that they take that matters in repairing the relationship.
- Find small opportunities to help your child/teen mend relationships. Siblings offer a regular chance to practice this! If there's fighting, then talk to your child/teen about how they feel first. When you've identified that they had a role in causing harm, brainstorm together how they might make their sister feel better. You might ask, "What could you do?"
- Allow your child/teen to supply answers, and you may be surprised at how many options they come up with. Support and guide them to follow through on selecting one and doing it.
- Teach assertive communication through I-messages. When you or your child/teen are in the uncomfortable position of disagreeing or arguing with another, it can be difficult to know how to respond in ways that won't harm yourself or others. That's why teaching and practicing I-messages can provide a structure for what you can say. This statement works effectively from partner to partner, from parent to child/teen, and from child/teen to child/teen. Here's an example: "I feel _______________________(insert feeling word) when you_________________ (name the words or actions that upset you) because ___________________________."
- Here's how it might sound if a parent is using it with a child/teen: "I feel frustrated and angry when you keep playing your video game and don't seem like you are listening because I feel ignored, and I believe what I have to say is important for both of us."
- If you are helping your child/teen use this in communicating with a friend who has angered them, here's how it might be used: "I feel angry when you pick all of our friends for your team but me because I was counting on playing with everyone, and now I am on a team with others I don't know." Practice the wording together with your child's/teen's specific issue.
If you tell or even command your child/teen to make an apology, how will they ever learn to genuinely apologize with feeling? In fact, apologizing or making things right should never be assigned as a punishment since then the control lies with the adult and robs the child/teen of the opportunity to learn the skill and internalize the value of repairing harm. Instead, ask your child/teen how they feel they should make up for the hurt they've caused and help them implement their idea.
- Create a family gratitude ritual. We get plenty of negative messages each day through the news media, performance reviews at school or work, and challenges with family and friends. It's easy and often feels more acceptable to complain than to appreciate. Balance out your daily ratio of negative to positive messages by looking for the good in your life and articulating it. Model it and involve your child/teen. This is the best antidote to a sense of entitlement or taking your good life for granted while wanting more and more stuff. Psychologists have done research on gratefulness and found that it increases people's health, sense of wellbeing, and their ability to get more and better sleep at night.7
Step 3. Practice to Grow Skills, Confidence, and Develop Habits
Practice can take the form of cooperatively completing the task together, or trying out a skill with you as a coach and ready support. Practice is not only nice, it's necessary in order for children/teens to internalize new skills. Practice makes vital new brain connections that strengthen each time your child/teen performs the new action.
- Use "I'd love to see…" statements. When a child/teen learns a new ability, they are eager to show it off! Give them that chance. Say: "I'd love to see how you use your chill zone to help you." This can be used when you observe their upset mounting.
- Recognize effort. You could say, "I notice how you took some deep breaths when you got frustrated. That's excellent!"
- Accept feelings. If you are going to help your child/teen become emotionally intelligent in managing their biggest feelings, it is important to acknowledge and accept their feelings – even ones you don't like! When your child/teen is upset, consider your response. You could say, "I hear you're upset. What can you do to help yourself feel better?"
- Practice deep breathing. Because deep breathing is such a simple practice that can assist your child/teen anytime, anywhere, it's important to get plenty of practice so that it becomes easy to use when needed. Here are some enjoyable ways to practice together!4
- Hot chocolate breathing. Pretend to hold your hot cup of cocoa in both hands in front of you. Breathe in deeply the aroma of the chocolate. And then blow out to cool it in preparation for drinking. Do this to the count of five to give your child/teen practice. Then, look for chances to practice it regularly.
- Ocean breathing. Practice making the noise of the sea waves while breathing deeply from your diaphragm. Close your eyes with your child/teen and imagine that your anger is a fiery flame waiting on a sandy shore. And as you breathe life into the ocean waves, they grow closer and closer to the flame to extinguish it.
- Include reflection on the day in your bedtime routine. Begin by asking about worries or problems that your child/teen will surely consider after you leave the room. Listen and offer comfort. Demonstrate that you are allowing and accepting of the uncertainty of unresolved problems. You could say, "There's no amount of worrying that is going to fix things tonight. So how can you talk about accepting what you have and where you are now and working on it tomorrow?" Then, turn to gratitude. Children/teens may not have the chance to reflect on what's good and abundant in their lives throughout the day, yet grateful thoughts can be a central contributor to happiness and wellbeing. And, grateful thoughts directly wipe out ruminations.
- Follow through on repairing harm. When your child/teen has caused harm, it's easier to shrink away in shame and attempt to escape the problem hoping time will heal all wounds. But if real damage has been done – emotionally or physically – then your child/teen needs to take some steps to help heal that wound. It takes tremendous courage, however, to do so. So in order for your child/teen to learn that a next choice can be their best choice and that they can make up for the harm they've caused, they need your guidance, encouragement, and support in following through on those steps. They are learning the invaluable skill of responsible decision making.
Step 4. Support Your Child's/Teen's Development and Success
At this point, you've taught your child/teen some new strategies for managing anger so that they understand how to take action. You've practiced together. Now, you can offer support when it's needed by reteaching, monitoring, coaching, and when appropriate, applying logical consequences. Parents naturally offer support as they see their child/teen fumble with a situation in which they need help. This is no different.
- Ask key questions to prompt thinking. You could ask: "You are going to see Julie today. Do you remember what you can do to assert your feelings?"
- Learn about development. Each new age and stage will present differing challenges and along with them, stress, frustrations, and anger. So, becoming informed regularly about what developmental milestones your child/teen is working toward will offer you empathy and patience.
- Reflect on outcomes. You could say, "Seems like you couldn't get to sleep last night because you were feeling angry about our argument. How did it impact your day at school? What could we do tonight to help?"
- Stay engaged. Working together on ideas for trying out new and different coping strategies can help offer additional support and motivation for your child/teen when tough issues arise.
- Engage in further practice. Create more opportunities to practice when all is calm and you are engaged with each other.
- Apply logical consequences when needed. Logical consequences should come soon after the negative behavior and need to be provided in a way that maintains a healthy relationship. Rather than punishment, a consequence is about supporting the learning process. First, get your own emotions in check. Not only is this good modeling, when your emotions are in check you are able to provide logical consequences that fit the behavior. Second, invite your child/teen into a discussion about the expectations established in Step 2. Third, if you feel that your child/teen is not holding up their end of the bargain (and it is not a matter of them not knowing how), then apply a logical consequence as a teachable moment.
- If there are high emotions in your household most days, most of the time, then it may be time to consider outside intervention. Physical patterns begin to set in (as in depression) that require the help of a trained professional. Seeking psychological help is the same as going to your doctor for a physical ailment. In fact, it is wise to seek outside help when it's time. The following are some resources to check out.
- American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) has definitions, answers to frequently asked questions, resources, expert videos, and an online search tool to find a local psychiatrist. http://www.aacap.org
- American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Healthy Children provides information for parents about emotional wellness, including helping children handle stress, psychiatric medications, grief, and more. http://www.healthychildren.org
- American Psychological Association (APA) offers information on managing stress, communicating with kids, making stepfamilies work, controlling anger, finding a psychologist, and more. http://www.apa.org
- Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) provides free online information so that children and adolescents benefit from the most up-to-date information about mental health treatment and can learn about important differences in mental health supports. Parents can search online for local psychologists and psychiatrists for free. http://www.abct.org
Step 5. Recognize Effort and Quality to Foster Motivation
Though adults tend to forget, our attention is our child's/teen's sweetest reward. It's easy to get caught up in the busyness and business of getting tasks accomplished like getting to work and school on time in the morning. But, if your child/teen is working hard to manage big feelings, it will be worth your while to call it out. After all, your recognition can go a long way to promoting more of the same positive behaviors and expanding your child's/teen's sense of competence and responsibility. Add to your child's/teen's motivation to work hard with the following actions.
- Recognize and call out when it is going well. It may seem obvious, but it's easy not to notice when all is moving along smoothly. When children/teens are using the self-management tools you've taught them, a short, specific call out is all that's needed. "I noticed when you got frustrated with your homework, you moved away and took some deep breaths. Yes! Excellent."
- Recognize small steps along the way. Don't wait for the big accomplishments in order to recognize. Remember that your recognition can work as a tool to promote more positive behaviors. They need to happen along the way. Find small ways your child/teen is making an effort and let them know you see them.
- Build in celebrations like game night, watching movies or shows together, or a favorite dinner. Include hugs in your repertoire of ways to appreciate one another.
Avoid screen time, gifts, or other physical rewards for performance. These actually have a de-motivating effect on children/teens. When you remove the screen time or money, for example, have they internalized the skills and also the sense of responsibility for performing them? There's less of a chance if you've offered a "bribe." Focus on your attention as the best reward.
Engaging in these five steps is an investment that builds your skills as an effective parent to use on many other issues and builds important skills that will last a lifetime for your child/teen. Throughout this tool, there are opportunities for children/teens to become more self-aware, to deepen their social awareness, to exercise their self-management skills, to work on their relationship skills, and to demonstrate and practice responsible decision making.

The Pope Dies in Jerusalem
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011
The Church came forth from Israel, like a child begotten by a mother, but Israel began to reject her own child. The soil rejected the fruit it had brought forth. Then came the saddest time of all. Israel and the Church were separated. Now they stand as distinct groups. The mother has rejected her child and the soil has rejected the roots that should have stayed within it.
Peter was the apostle to the Jews and Paul always preached first in the synagogues. The word was preached and the roots tried to enter more deeply into the soil. However, they could not pierce its resistance. Without deeper roots, the plant could not stay long in its original soil.
However, when the darkness comes and Israel is in distress, there will be a new moment. The Pope, the head of the Catholic Church, will go to Israel in its darkest hour and lay down his life for Israel. The eyes of many Jewish people will be opened. They will say "We have been saved by the Catholic Church". The soil will be open and receptive again to the original seed. My Church and my Jewish people will be joined as I have wanted them to be for centuries.
As the Church's roots are placed once more into its original Jewish soil, the other divisions of the churches will be healed because they happened due to this first division of the Church from the Synagogue.
It will be clear to all the Christian Churches that there is a new call to unity, a call to unity at the roots and in the heart.
Churches will see what they have never seen and do what they thought they would never do. Seeing the union of Israel and the Catholic Church, they will say, "We must be one". All the barriers to unity, put up over the many centuries, will be swept away in one breath of the Spirit.
There will be the ingathering prophesied by Isaiah. All the riches of the nations will come to Israel. This will be true wealth, the spiritual wealth of all the Churches gathering as one in Jerusalem with Israel and the Catholic Church. My prayer will be fulfilled, that all would be one as the Father and I are one.
Also, the world will see something quite different, what they have never seen. They will see the Churches united and all the Churches united with Israel. The world will experience a powerful call to come out of darkness. The Church and Israel will be a light to all nations. The light will not be lessened or covered over by divisions of the Churches or divisions between the Churches and Israel. The world will not be able to escape the invitation. The unity will stand before them inviting them to accept Me as Lord.
A moment will come when I will take my beloved son, the Pope. I will walk with him to Jerusalem. For the second time I will go to Jerusalem to witness the death of a son.
When this happens the eyes of the Jewish people will see for the first time. They will see in the Pope's death what the Catholic Church has done for them. There will be no mistake about which Church has blessed them, because it will have been done by the head of the Church and by the greatest of sacrifices. Israel will embrace the Catholic Church.
All Catholics will welcome Israel because all will have seen the decision of the Holy Father (the bishop dressed in white) to offer his life for Israel. The union between the Catholic Church and Israel will be a union of hearts brought about by the events that the whole world will have has seen and can never forget.

I am skeptical of "orientation change" therapies, but I also dislike the vilification of them and the pushes to have them banned. I don't like how the ex-gay crowd is viewed as a bunch of hypocritical freaks. Now, I recognize that some of this stems from a genuine concern that I'd share over giving people unrealistic expectations, but there is also a repugnance of the basic idea of attempting to change someone's sexual desires.
I'm not sure if this intrinsic dislike it is entirely consistent with the currently prevailing attitudes surrounding transgenderism.
In short, if a person experiences extreme distress over the sexual characteristics of their body, and the cultural consequences of that, and feels like they would fit better on the other side, the general consensus is that they should have access to the sort of therapy and surgery that would make such a radical change possible.
But if someone feels extreme distress over having homosexual feelings, and wants to make the far less extreme shift of trying to replace them with heterosexual ones, they're just kidding themselves and need to accept who they are if they want to be happy.
Why is the shift in the former case considered a salutary thing, while the shift in the latter a sort of violence? I recognize that the distress over feeling that one is on the wrong side of the sexual binary is one that is deeply ingrained in a person's psyche, whereas the distress over same sex attraction usually arises from a person's religious/moral beliefs, which, as people like to point out, are subject to change.
But saying, "you would feel better if you stopped being a Christian" is kind of like walking up to an atheist who is feeling crappy and saying, "you would feel better if you believed that Jesus loves you." In both cases that may actually be true! And in both cases you are also asking someone to change their convictions on the grounds that they are inconvenient, rather than that they are untrue. Which is obnoxious.
The distress over one's sexuality need not even emerge from strongly religious or moral beliefs: someone could just want the ability to have a family and raise kids without having to go through surrogates, IVF, etc.
If we did develop a surefire method of orientation change, would the LGBT community accept it as a valid choice someone could take, or would the people who go down that route be considered traitors?
I guess this dovetails with the dreaded question of whether people are "born that way", so I'd might as well give my thoughts on that. Basically, I doubt it. Biology probably plays a role in predisposing some people, but I think that it is how we develop that makes these desires ingrained. Now, I also disagree with the idea that there is inevitably some sort of easy Freudian explanation for same-sex attraction, and that a few sessions on the couch will set you straight. The factors that contribute to it are complex and will vary from person to person. And even if you can pinpoint them all, that doesn't necessarily mean that it can be "unlearned". It is, in most cases, almost on par with asking someone to unlearn their literacy.
On both Christian and secular sides there is sometimes a tendency towards an overly therapeutic view, where we tend to view things primarily in terms of problems to be solved rather than how we can live out our lives with integrity. I mean, suppose my same-sex desires were magicked away overnight. That would remove a difficulty in my life, but hey: my high levels of introverted awkwardness and financially dubious career path would likely still keep me celibate. And if those were somehow overcome and I found myself married, well, I haven't 'solved' something so much as I have exchanged one set of circumstances for another. And, let's face it, seeking out marriage with someone because it'll be "easier" that way is about on par with trying to become a priest because you just can't get it together in your romantic life – both are piss poor reasons, and you run a high chance of just making yourself even unhappier.
It probably wasn't the case that all the people whom Jesus miraculously healed just went on to live Super Awesome lives – in fact, we know so, given that, "the chief priests planned to put Lazarus also to death". (John 12:10) Being brought back to life only to have people try to kill you all over again is kind of a rough deal, if you view it in terms of Jesus just trying to fix Lazarus' problems. Beyond the fact that the raising of Lazarus was an act of love and an establishment of Divine cred, there must have been some further good, some deeper vocational purpose, that required Lazarus' life to be extended for a bit longer in order to fulfill.
Of course a Christian life means seeking out healing; it's just that this healing doesn't easily map onto the therapeutic categories we may want them to.

Based on your rating for the content type, Apple will publish your app in a separate segment. (For Example, if your app contains sexual or violent content, then it will be published under Adult App category in the iTunes store).

When you hear the words "hard money," you may not have a single clue as to what it refers to. After all, you are probably just as familiar with hard money as you are with soft money(which also exists). However, most people have no idea what a lot of the terms used by loan companies mean at all. Hard money lenders, also known as HML's, are part private individuals or small groups that lend money/ The loans are based on the property that you are wanting to buy, rather than just your credit score. Simply put, hard money mortgages are funded privately. This kind of loan is also known as a private money loan. In most cases, these loans cost, percentage-wise, much more than a mortgage. In some cases, this amount can be up to double what the regular mortgage costs and there are higher origination fees. On the other hand, hard money mortgages come with their own set of benefits. Continue reading below to learn everything you need to know about private money loans and how you can obtain one.

We view our Colorado private money loans as investments to borrowers who need the money for a time-sensitive opportunity, as opposed to national bank loans, which can take months to be approved. A hard money loan is a private money loan secured by hard assets, or collateral, with secondary consideration given to lending other 3 "C's" – character, capacity, and cash flow. Collateral for private financing in Colorado may run the spectrum from raw land on the eastern plains to resort property at treeline in our beautiful Colorado high country. Other collateral will also be a factor some of the time, depending on the circumstances.
Private money loans are often the quickest, surest way to have the funds to acquire property when traditional underwriting takes too long. Unusual and hard to finance properties will often require private financing. Once the property has undergone a fix and flip, a more traditional loan can replace the house flipping loan
Who Needs A Private Money Loan?
Investors who seek private financing all have different investment types and expertise. Much of the market for private money loans are developers and house-flippers. Conversely, some people try to use it to fund deals by borrowing up to 100 percent of their purchase price. In cases like this, however, a Colorado hard money lender may require that you back up your loan with other assets, as we do at Abbey Mortgage. If you can buy a property and turn it around fairly quickly for a big profit, but cannot get a standard commercial or residential mortgage, you may want to think about using a private hard money lender to help you with your endeavors. In some cases, an investor will choose to use the hard loan to get into the property so that they can make some quick adjustments to raise the overall value of the property, and then they will get a new loan from a bank. This loan will be based on the property's new and improved value and will allow them to pay off the money that was loaned to them by the private hard money lender.
What are the Benefits of a Hard Money Lender?
Let's also consider some of the benefits of using a private lender. Private hard money mortgage amounts are generally relational to a property's value rather than the acquisition cost. They can be obtained quickly with flexible or even customized terms — flexible collateral coverage on your Colorado property or properties.
We can help when you need some breathing room on a project or investment. Private lenders like Abbey Mortgage can fulfill loans when bankers may have said, "no." Although some lenders do not want short-term loans on their books, that is precisely the type of investment we want to loan on. We typically allow early prepayment — especially if you ask for this consideration upfront. When the opportunity is as enormous as a Colorado fourteener, these loans may cost more than a bank loan. Still, you can get right on with the development, turnaround, or construction work, without risking the deal by risking the financing with a traditional lending source. Hard money lenders are a great source of bridge mortgages, turnarounds, construction, rehabilitation, or "fix and flips."
In short, a private lender loan can make your deal happen. When you need to make that Colorado investment work out for the better, sophisticated investors will often use asset-based financing, another term for private money loans, on their Colorado projects. When opportunity knocks, you need to act fast as they will not linger.
Property Types For Private Money Loans
If a borrower needs to get private financing for nearly any kind of property. Single-family residential, multi-family residential, commercial property, land, and industrial spaces. While some private money lenders choose to specialize in one specific property type, as we do in commercial real estate lending, others cover the vast range of property types and provide loans for all of them. We specialize in commercial real estate financing because we know this professional realm like the back of our hands. We are familiar with what kind of borrowers are worth investing in, and we can offer plenty of guidance when it comes to navigating the waters of commercial mortgage loans.
What Types of Deals Are Private Lender's Loans Used?
As we mentioned previously, hard money loans are not right for every deal. When you are purchasing a residence with good credit, income history, and there are no issues with foreclosure or the sale in general, you will likely want to use a bank for conventional financing. Private money loans exist as a source of funding when banks are not an option for you, or the loan is for a short amount of time.
The ideal situations for using private financing is fix and flip homes, land loans, construction loans when a sale deal with a buyer with credit problems, and when a real estate investor needs to act quickly to obtain a property.
Why Should You Use A Private Money Loan?
Again, there are many different types of people who seek out private money loans, and they all use them for various reasons. The main reason you should consider using a private hard money lender is if you need to obtain the loan in a short period. It is more common than not that a hard money loan can fund the borrower within a week of when the money is needed. This quick action is much different from using a bank loan, which can take anywhere from 30 to 45 days.
When it comes to the application process for a private money loan, the entire thing will only take a day or two. In individual cases, we may even approve a mortgage on the same day of the application. Again, this is never something that could happen if you were to seek funding from a bank.
Because funding can happen at a faster rate, private money loans offer a significant advantage to borrowers.
It is especially true for real estate investors who are trying to acquire a property that has many competing bids. Getting a seller's attention is much easier for the investor when there is potential to have a quick close because private money is on the table.
A borrower may also have to opt to get a loan in the case that one or more banks rejected them for a conventional loan. People often experience short sales, foreclosures, credit issues, and more that get in their way of achieving what they are working. Hard money lending can help in cases like this, and private hard money lenders will look past issues like this and can provide funding so long as they know the borrower will repay the loan, and that the borrower also has enough equity.
Borrower Requirements
Since the primary concern of the private hard money lender is that they are concerned with the amount of equity the borrower has invested in the property used as collateral. Private lenders are far less worried about the investor's credit score. Even if there are issues, even foreclosures or short sales, the lender is likely to look beyond them, provided they have enough capital to pay the interest on the loan. It is also possible that the lender will take into consideration what the borrower plans on doing with the property. If the presented plan is not reasonable and doesn't explain how they plan on paying off the loan, the chance that the Colorado hard money lender will still be interested in loaning the money is slim to none
Finding a Hard Money Lender to Work With
When you are in the market for a hard money lender, it can often be a difficult process. One of the best ways to locate a reputable Colorado hard money lender is to ask around. Find out where other people have obtained their loans and what their experience was like. You could also choose to attend your local real estate investor club meeting for a more clear idea of who the good and bad names are in the private lending loan business. This is also a smart idea as it will allow you to network with other potential borrowers, hear their stories and learn from their mistakes. On the other hand, you could just take our word for it.

Kirby (Kirby: Mass Attack)
Super Nicholas replied to Super Nicholas's topic in [ WORKS IN PROGRESS ]NEW VERSION IS FINALLY OUT! http://www.mediafire.com/download/0v78p734f8us63i/KirbyMassAttack_(V6).zip Changed helper system to prevent spamming, added hyper portraits, and more. (MUGEN Database is gonna need to update its link)
Characters You Wish Were In Mugen
Super Nicholas replied to aperson98's topic in [ MUGEN LOUNGE ]Updating List: Better version of Captain Olimar. Better version of Pit. R.O.B. Better version of Jigglypuff. Better version of Ganondorf. Zelda and Sheik. A really good version of adult Link. Ice Climbers. (Like in Smash Bros., where Nana follows the player.) Better version of King Dedede. Epic versions of King Harkinian and Morshu. A really good version of Samus (that isn't cheap). (Though I have a beta version of a hi-res, non-cheap Samus.) Marth, Roy, and Ike (Fire Emblem). Better version of Falco. Diddy Kong. Victini, Genesect, and Arceus (Pokemon).
Some more that would be cool to see: Tag-Team Mode: Switch out between teammates. Shared Health Mode: Teams share the same health. Could be interesting. A character organizer: It's hard to organize your characters when you have so many... Separate power bars in team mode: Each fighter has their own power bar. A pause menu... Tournament Mode: Like in Smash Bros., except in MUGEN.
What is your MUGEN game mode habit?
Super Nicholas replied to Werewood's topic in [ MUGEN LOUNGE ]I play on Survival most of the time. Never really play Arcade mode.
Nobody responded to my information regarding the Lugia characters... There are two of them. I know one's by S.Nara. There's doesn't seem to be any information whatsoever about the Lugia character in the picture, though. http://i.imgur.com/ow8pR.png
Found evidence of more Pokemon characters by the same guy who made Poochyena and Scizor. There's a Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Banette. Apparently, there's also Marowak, Larvitar, Wartortle, Ivysaur, and Gardevoir. Can't find them, because the site is probably expired or something.
About 3 to 5 hypers is probably a good amount.
[Gen6][3DS] Pokemon X & Y
Super Nicholas replied to Bjay's topic in [ POKEMON ]If this comes out before the next Smash Bros., this new "Mewthree" could appear as a character in the next Smash Bros. If it's a new forme for Mewtwo, it would probably by Mewtwo's Final Smash or something.
My Kirby's on MUGEN Database! :D
There are Lugia charcters. I can't find the links for them, but I can at least confirm their existance. I think these are two separate characters. I know one of them (the one in the video) is by S.Nara, so expect that one to be UBER-CHEAP! The other one (the one in the picture) has a different stance, so it might be a separate character. http://i.imgur.com/ow8pR.png There is also a beta Black Kyurem character by Mario11766.
Klang's (Not Klinklang's) link is unavailable, as I've said. I can't remember where I got the other Combusken. It depends on the one you have posted. I have one by Dshiznetz and one by Seth Lee.
What characters are hard for you to beat?
Super Nicholas posted a topic in [ MUGEN LOUNGE ]What characters are hard for you to beat? Don't include excessively cheap characters. Anything by Kong. Thor, Wonder Woman, and Sandman Lyndis (AI-Patched) Ness and Bowser (K. Y-Shanxi) Symbiote Onslaught Abyss Super Mario and Super Luigi Kirby (Super Nicholas) Super Buu (Stig87) Vegeta and Perfect Cell, and Frieza by CHOUJIN Captain Falcon (Kamikaze) Dragon Claw Umbreon and Magnemite Torchic Ryugen The Kung Fu Man (OGGY) Akuma (GM) Porky Minch Voltorb Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders Hauzer, Red Dragon, and Synn Anything by muteki
Links for these Earthbound Characters
Super Nicholas replied to Super Nicholas's question in [ COMPLETED REQUESTS ]Thanks! I tried out Jeff and I was able to beat some of Kong's characters with him.
Links for these Earthbound Characters
Super Nicholas posted a question in [ COMPLETED REQUESTS ]There are some characters from Earthbound I would like for MUGEN, but I can't get them. They are Ness, Paula, and Poo by Drowin. (I have Jeff) Problems: Ness's link is eSnips and other links are unavailable I can't find Paula's link Poo's link is 2Shared, which forces you to download a downloader Can anyone post alternate links for these characters?
What do you hope Elecbyte puts in the next version of MUGEN? I hope for: Online Multiplayer (Doesn't everyone hope for this?) Multiple songs for stages Better control input for multiplayer (For some reason, it doesn't enter commands as well in multiplayer) Quicker loading times for larger rosters Human vs CPU mode instead of having to use debug in watch mode A way to restore all health/all power without restoring the cpu's (Like spacebar, but without restoring cpu's health) Better system for using F5 in survival (Restarting a match with the amount of health you started with instead

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix white wine and saffron threads in small measuring cup; set aside. Combine salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper in small bowl; rub spice mixture all over chicken thighs. Heat heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and sauté until fat begins to render and sausage browns, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Transfer chorizo to large plate. Add olive oil to skillet. Add chicken thighs to skillet and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate with chorizo.
