Report Reveals Links Between States' Mental Health Status and Treatment-Access
First-ever report ranks states based on depression status; calls for mental health monitoring system to inform state policies impacting access to care
Contact: Heather Cobb, Mental Health America, (703) 797-2588
Alexandria, VA (November 28, 2007) - Mental Health America today released its report, "Ranking America's Mental Health: An Analysis of Depression Across the States," a first-of-its-kind study examining state and national data for statistical associations between access-to-care factors and actual health outcomes, namely a state's mental health status and suicide rate. Included in the study is a ranking of the 50 states and the District of Columbia based on rates of depression and suicide. South Dakota is found to lead the nation with the best depression status while Utah ranked last. For the complete rankings, visit www.mentalhealthamerica.net/go/state-ranking.
"It is important to note that regardless of where each state ranks on our mental health scale, there is much room for improvement," said Dr. David Shern, PhD, president and CEO of Mental Health America. "While a number of factors including biology and environment impact an individual's mental health, this study shows that states can significantly improve their populations' mental health status by adopting policies that expand access to mental health treatments."
In "Ranking America's Mental Health," Mental Health America found statistically-significant associations between the following factors and better depression status and lower suicide rates:
- Mental health resources - On average, the higher the number of psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers per capita in a state, the lower the suicide rate.
- Barriers to treatment - The lower the percentage of the population reporting that they could not obtain healthcare because of costs, the lower the suicide rate and the better the state's depression status. In addition, the lower the percentage of the population that reported unmet mental healthcare needs, the better the state's depression status.
- Mental health treatment utilization - Holding the baseline level of depression in the state constant, the higher the number of antidepressant prescriptions per capita in the state, the lower the suicide rate.
- Socioeconomic characteristics - The more educated the population and the greater the percentage with health insurance, the lower the suicide rate. The more educated the population, the better the state's depression status.
In addition, the report found the following factor to be significantly associated with the level of mental health service utilization in a state:
- Health Insurance parity - The more generous a state's mental health parity coverage, the greater the number of people in the population that receive mental health services.
"The findings of this study underscore the critical need to monitor the mental health status of Americans by examining depression and the states' policies that may impact it," said Shern. "Through regular and ongoing measurement of key indicators of depression, we will be able to understand how state public policies impact a population's depression level and suicide rate - and make adjustments to benefit the millions of American affected by depression."
In developing the state rankings of depression status, Mental Health America examined four measures: 1) the percentage of the adult population experiencing at least one major depressive episode in the past year, 2) the percentage of the adolescent population experiencing at least one major depressive episode in the past year, 3) the percentage of adults experiencing serious psychological distress, and 4) the average number of days in the last 30 days in which the population reported that their mental health was not good.
This report found significant variation among the states in the levels of depression and in its most tragic consequence: suicide. Rates of depression among the states vary from around seven percent in the least depressed states to over 10 percent in states where residents reported the highest levels of depression. This difference represents a nearly 40 percent variation from the least to the most depressed states.
To achieve top ranking in the country, South Dakota yielded the best results for the four measures used to develop a composite depression status indicator. Among adults, 7.31 percent experienced a major depressive episode in the past year and 11.6 percent experienced serious psychological distress. Among adolescents, 7.4 percent had a major depressive episode in the past year. On average, South Dakotans reported 2.41 poor mental health days per month. Even though South Dakota ranked well in overall depression status, it is also important to note that the state had an age-adjusted suicide rate of 14.85, ranking South Dakota 40th in the nation, which is 300% higher than the District of Columbia, which has the lowest suicide rate.
Utah ranked 51st in depression status. For both adults and adolescents, 10.14 percent reported experiencing a major depressive episode in the past year. Among adults, 14.58 percent experienced serious psychological distress. On average, residents of Utah reported 3.27 poor mental health days per month.
"Despite the fact that some states do better than others on rates of depression and suicide, no state can be satisfied with its current status," continued Shern. "These rates can be driven lower by encouraging state policies designed to improve coverage, end discriminatory practices in insurance, and assure that qualified mental health professionals are available to serve everyone in need."
The top ten "least depressed" states are: 1) South Dakota, 2) Hawaii, 3) New Jersey, 4) Iowa, 5) Maryland, 6) Minnesota, 7) Louisiana, 8) Illinois, 9) North Dakota, and 10) Texas. The bottom ten "most depressed" states are: 42) Wyoming, 43) Ohio, 44) Missouri, 45) Idaho, 46) Oklahoma, 47) Nevada, 48) Rhode Island, 49) Kentucky, 50) West Virginia, and 51) Utah.

Seach, rescue, a bobcat and a (real) cougar
New Hampshire Union Leader reporter Bill Smith did a nice job in last week's New Hampshire Sunday News of illustrating the long-running unfairness of who pays for search-and-rescue operations. The issue came to the fore again earlier this month after a spate of missions to help people who were careless, unprepared, woefully ill-informed — or a combination of all three.
The vast majority of people who are the objects of search-and-rescue missions pay no license or registration fees, while people who hunt, fish or use off-road vehicles — and are far less likely to need help — pay for saving other outdoor users' bacon through license fees and taxes on equipment.
I've served on a couple of commissions over the years that sought to address this issue, but while the thought was good, the how of it remained elusive. "Hiker" can be a pretty loose definition (is a tourist walking up to Arethusa Falls a "hiker"?), and if a permit were required, who would collect it and where? Should mandatory membership in an insured club be the means, as is often the case in Europe? "Unenforceable" comes to mind. How about an excise tax on hiking, climbing and canoeing equipment that's similar to the tax on hunting and fishing gear? Hiking and climbing groups have paid lip-service to stepping up to the plate on this, but somehow never have. Time to hold their feet to the fire?
Fish and Game's latest initiative is that anyone searched for and/or rescued (except for hunters and fishermen, who already pay) be given a basic sliding-scale bill, geared to the cost of each mission. It could bring in more than $100,00 a year — not enough, by any means, but at least a start down the trail toward fairness.
On to bobcats. One was killed along Route 125 in Kingston last week, and media reports were on a par with the landing of an alien spacecraft. No cause for surprise or alarm, however, the New Hampshire Union Leader's story pointed out — bobcats are neither rare nor dangerous. They are, in fact, on the rise — for reasons researchers are trying to ascertain.
Bobcats are found in every part of New Hampshire, but are elusive and largely nocturnal and thus are seldom seen. They typically weigh up to 40 pounds, but are usually much smaller. They prey chiefly on rabbits and smaller mammals, although they will occasionally take deer and, of course, cats and small dogs.
As their name implies, bobcats have a short, or bobbed, tail and thus are hard to confuse with any other animal their size. They can leap up to 12 feet and sprint at 30 mph. During mating season in late winter, they tend to do a lot of screeching, the classic definition of "caterwauling." In Colonial days, they were lumped into the general definition of "wildcats." A a University of New Hampshire article on them noted, with their ferocity, elusiveness and strong sense of territory, bobcats truly put the 'wild' in "wildcats."
And finally, on the subject of wildcats comes this missive from a reader in the Lakes Region:
"Just wanted to let you know that my wife, her sister, our daughter and niece just came back from a trip to WalMart bouncing off the walls. It seems that they saw a mountain lion run across the road, sort of like squirrels playing chicken with cars. It was REAL close!
"I pulled up pictures on the Internet of mountain lions, as well as bobcats, (we've had one of those in the yard and know what they are) and they all swear it was a mountain lion. A fat, muscular, big, stocky, very healthy-looking cat. They claimed it was as big as our 100-lb. black Lab.
"We live in the southern tip of Alton and they were on Ridge Top Road in New Durham around house number 106-109 at about 1:45 in the afternoon. If you get any other sightings around there, add this one to it, add four more believers that they are here and we'll be watching out for it again."
I asked why there was no mention of a long tail, the usual dead giveaway for a cougar, and the reader's wife wrote right back that the animal did indeed have a very long tail.

What Mortgage Forgiveness Tax Relief Means to the Real Estate Recovery
As taxes are being weighed in Congress, tax relief on mortgage forgiveness is set to expire at the end of the year
According to the IRS, if you owe a debt to someone else and they cancel or forgive that debt, the canceled amount may be considered taxable income.
The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 was enacted to allow taxpayers to exclude income from the discharge of debt on their principal residence. Debt reduced through mortgage restructuring, as well as mortgage debt forgiven in connection with a short sale or a foreclosure, qualifies for the relief. This Act is set to expire at the end of 2012.
As home prices spiraled downward and millions of homeowners became underwater on their mortgages (owing more than their homes were worth) during the housing crisis, this measure was needed so consumers who were already financially devastated could pick up the pieces and move on with their lives. If this act is not extended, it means that anyone who is going through a loan modification, short sale or foreclosure in the future will face a potentially huge tax bill associated with the money they "lost" on their homes.
Despite some positive signs of recovery, our nation's real estate market is still fragile. Consider the following:
- Transactions not completed by year-end could become taxable in 2013, despite a borrower's reliance on this tax relief.
- More than 20% of current homeowners with a mortgage owe more on their homes than the current fair market value but many homeowners are trying to hang on to their homes and pay their mortgages. Any change in finances, marital status, employment or health can force them to sell as a short sale or be foreclosed upon.
- Nationwide, over a quarter of all home sales still involve a distressed property.
If Congress does not extend this tax relief, it will most certainly hurt the housing recovery. Neither consumers nor the housing market need that added burden. Homeowners shouldn't be forced to pay a tax on money they've already lost with cash they never received.
The housing market, while recovering, is still fragile enough that this tax relief is needed in 2013 and possibly beyond.

Sarah - I not suggesting that short sales are a solution to the down market, but simply that already distressed homeowners should not be taxed on debt that is forgiven through short sale, foreclosure or loan modification. While short sales are not something that we want to see in our housing markets, they are a reality and a far better alternative to foreclosure.

The debate here is again, superficial. The root causes of this, and most other problems here today, is too much government interference. The IRS is a classic example of our country gone wrong. Our welfare-warfare state is only possible with the IRS and central banking system. Imagine if we paid a war tax in 2012, instead of killing on a credit card. Who would be willing to pay an average of eleven thousand dollars extra tax? With diminished federal government will come prosperity, income, jobs, peace, common sense, and a return to a USA leadership position in the world.
Lisa Loper

Anthony - I agree with your comments except that this is a superficial issue. The federal government bears a lot of responsibility for the housing crisis. However, anyone facing having their wages garnished for the next 20 years by the IRS to payoff income tax owed after they were crushed by the housing downturn would not consider this superficial.
Anthony Wayne
11:51 am on Friday, November 30, 2012
The Feds have total responsibility for the crisis. The superficial discussion is that minor tweaks to the existing process will solve these problems moving forward. A solution is a rethink from the ground up. Anything less is superficial and promotes the status quo.
Joseph Finnick
2:56 pm on Friday, November 30, 2012
I would vastly disagree that this is superficial and that too much government created this problem. If anything, the housing problem (along with the rest of what caused the 2008 recession) was actually the government being too silent while private companies wreaked havoc on our economy. Read any history of the financial crisis and you will see lenders engaging in predatory lending due to lack of regulation. You will see the lack of regulation in the grading of that debt for resale in the derivatives market that caused terrible investments to be seen as great ones. You will see companies that did not officially have a government guarantee on their loans openly state that they did while the government stayed quiet.
Saying the Feds have total responsibility for this crisis because they were doing too much is absurd. One note where you could blame the Federal government is that they incentivized home ownership and making loans that people created a very lucrative business based around the number of mortgages given out instead of the quality of mortgages.
Anthony Wayne
8:36 pm on Friday, November 30, 2012
It seems absurd to the uninformed perhaps. In fact, if true capitalism were allowed, markets find the price. Government intervention by manipulating markets create bubbles like you describe. The markets react to the bubble or intervention, and chaos ensues. Capitalism protects consumers, not business. The excessive risks taken by banks was underwritten by the Feds. Less government, thus regulation, is always best for the consumer. Try re reading your economics 101, and step away from the kool-aid bar for a while.
Joseph Finnick
9:09 pm on Friday, November 30, 2012
The risks were underwritten by the Feds after the fact so that we did not fall into a depression. You need to really get into an econ class.

Personal firewall software prevents identity theft and the frustration of restoring your credit. Your financial data and password lists may all be stored inside your computer. Even a novice hacker with the right tools can steal your identity. A firewall is to a computer what a security system is to a home. A firewall, like a security system, only allows certain traffic through specified doors or ports. A personal firewall security product will alert you or take one of many predetermined actions when someone tries to tamper with your computer.
Today's personal firewall software solutions can make it easy for novices and experts to keep personal information safe. On this site you'll find articles related to personal firewall protection and comprehensive reviews to help you make an informed purchasing decision. The three personal firewall software products that emerge as best according to third-party test results are: Comodo Internet Security Plus, Bitdefender Internet Security and Outpost Firewall Pro.
At TopTenREVIEWS We Do the Research So You Don't Have To.™
A personal firewall is software designed for use on a single PC. Personal firewalls lock out intruders to keep individual PCs safe at home or at the office.
TopTenREVIEWS uses the following criteria to evaluate personal firewall software:
Firewall Features
A personal firewall should offer features that go beyond standard protection. The bare necessities include keeping the system hidden and keeping uninvited people and programs out. The best firewalls include tools to manage spyware, cookies and viruses. Some firewalls offer Internet filtering to restrict content.
A firewall should keep intruders out. The firewall should keep your IP address and browser hidden while you browse the internet in stealth mode. This means that others should not be able to see your computer or personal identity unless you allow them. Your personal firewall should do its job consistently, without clashing with other software.
Additional Security Features
Great firewall software will include extras like antiphishing, antivirus and antimalware tools. Parental controls and instant message protection are also nice features to find in these types of programs.
Ease of Use
A computer novice should be able to understand and use the firewall product without help. The control panel should be intuitive and convenient. We've reviewed a few advanced firewall products that are powerful tools, but inappropriate for novices. When we include one of these products we note this in the "Ease of Use" section of the review.
Help & Support
The firewall software should give enough instruction for a computer novice to set up the product without help. The manufacturer should also have help online to answer common questions. Look for a firewall manufacturer willing to help you. Customer service telephone support is excellent; toll-free telephone support is a bonus. Some manufacturers use email or online question forms. Our favorite method of support is live chat online.
The software should offer a well-written help section with easy-to-understand information. The manufacturer should also provide technical support in the form of FAQs, email and phone support.
To choose the personal firewall software that best fits your needs, check out our detailed reviews.

Sorry, this story is unavailable
I can't believe that some are asking for Contenpomi at fly-half. He was a quite good center, but a calamity at fly-half. In order to succeed against SA, NZ and Aus., Argentina needs to get a creative fly-half that will add more dimensions to their game. Just hoofing the ball and expecting the opposition to spill it is not a viable plan, and against a team like NZ it is lethal. I have yet to see Argentina really playing to win against these countries. This will only happen when they field a back line that is creative in its attack, and keeps the ball in hand.
Posted 20:55 23rd August 2012
He must be related to Stephen Ferris as they are both made of glass.
Posted 10:45 23rd August 2012
Big loss, but the Pumas will be hungry for this one. I still the Pumas will push the Boks this weekend, provided they can kick their goals...
Posted 08:48 23rd August 2012
Looks like it might have to be Ignacio Mieres.. Shame for Exeter with the permiership season due to start very shortly. Hes only played one friendly so far for Exeter (against the Cornish Pirates) and looked good and kicked well.
Posted 08:32 23rd August 2012
Massive blow for the pumas,His been so unlucky with injuries a bit like J.Wilinson ,who would have had alot more caps ,and points if he hadnt missed 3 -4yrs because of injury.J.Herandez ,was on the verge of something simalar in 2007,then his injury nightmare started.Pumas might have to change their gameplan now.
Posted 00:30 23rd August 2012
Contepomi is 35 years old! we need new blood
Posted 23:44 22nd August 2012

...Or they could just bring Contepomi back into the fold. Probably should've been there from the get-go.
Posted 22:31 22nd August 2012
Over-reliance on a single group of players - let alone an individual - is a recipe for future failure. Look at England post 2003.
Posted 22:10 22nd August 2012
you're right, there is always a problem with Hernadez ...never available, bring back Felipe Contepomi ...
Posted 20:52 22nd August 2012
Its funny how this guy has been able to live of his 2007RWC form. Great kicker from out of hand, but just too injury prone.
Posted 19:20 22nd August 2012
Argentina should search for another Fly half as Hernandez isn't reliable at all. He only performed great in one world cup and that's it. Bring back Contepomi.

All About the Technology
Contact Distance Learning
It is the student's responsibility to have reliable technology, including a 'backup plan' if your technology fails. It is a good idea to identify a campus computer lab, local library, friends house, etc. ahead of time in case you need to use a different computer or Internet connection. This is especially critical if you are taking your classes fully online!
Either a Mac or PC will work. It does not have to be new, but it must be reliable. This includes having EASY ACCESS -- preferably your own personal computer. For online classes, it must be very convenient for you to get to this computer, since you will have to be online and in the class at least 3 - 4 times per week.
NOTE: Attempting to regularly use your cellphone to do work in Blackboard is not recommended because many of the functions will not work with your phone. The Blackboard Mobile app does not contain all of the functions of the browser version. Using a tablet as your only computer is also not recommended. Some of Blackboard's functions may not be accessible with tablet browsers, preventing you from participating fully.
Almost any kind of high-speed Internet will work, as long as it is reliable. - NOTE: A Dial-up connection [56k modem] will run very very slowly, and is not recommended.
Wireless cards from a cell-phone provider [like Cricket or Verizon] or Satellite Internet [like Hughes] do not always have the speed or reliability needed for online classes. It is possible to access Blackboard with these types of Internet services, but you may experience connection problems when uploading or downloading large files, loss of service during storms, etc. -- so you should have an alternate way to connect to the Internet if this occurs.
Windows systems: Internet Explorer (8 or 9), Chrome, or Firefox (10 ESR or Current). Mac systems: Safari (version depends on OSX) or Chrome. On Mac OSX Firefox prevents PDF's from loading correctly!. Please go to the Browser Checker and Browser Settings Guide for more information.
If you need assistance fixing problems with your browser please contact the Student Technology Help Desk.
Some classes require you to purchase special software just for that class, so check with the instructor or the NWACC Bookstore to see if this is true for your classes.
It is not required for all classes, but you should know that Microsoft Office is the standard software used by NWACC -- this includes Word, Excel, etc. If you do not have this already and might need to purchase it, please contact Distance Learning at email@example.com -- sometimes we know about good deals on this software for students.

Starting this week, we'll be highlighting the five finalists in the poetry category for the BTBA. Similar to what we did for the fiction longlist, these will be framed by the question: "Why should this book win?"
Click here for all past and future posts in this series.
Today's post is by poetry committee member Brandon Holmquest.
Child of Nature by Luljeta Lleshanaku, translated by Henry Israeli and Shpresa Qatipi
Language: Albanian
Country: Albania
Publisher: New Directions
Pages: 108
Why This Book Should Win:
It begins
when she searches in the darkness
for her likeness, a line of verse awaiting its end rhyme
and it goes on from there, and in just about every poem there's something that grabs your attention. As in the quote above, where the rhythm of the use of the letter S is so nice in the first two lines, establishing a beat which then opens up to let the long I come in, "likeness" "line" then the same S in "verse" and the long I again in "rhyme."
This is English-language poetry, of course. I have no Albanian whatsoever and the book is not bilingual, something which I generally regard as a minor crime, though this book may have persuaded me to be a little less hard-line about it. As I was attempting to explain to a bookseller friend of mine not that long ago: I want the original even in languages I don't know because I want to see what I can see. Are the original much longer or shorter than the translations? Are they shaped differently? Do they rhyme and if so, do the translations? And so on. I'm suspicious, in short.
And often, there's reason to be. But, sometimes, maybe it doesn't matter at all, because the English is so good I cease to care if it's even a translation. I just want more of it, whatever it is, however it came to be made.
Case in point, the poem "Monday in Seven Days," a longish serial poem of ten parts, which I'm only going to quote once because otherwise the whole thing is going to wind up in what is supposed to be a brief review:
Preparing for winter
isn't tradition, but instinct. We hurl our spare anxieties
like precious cargo from a shipwreck.
Read that again. If you don't see on your own how good it is, how truly excellent the choice of the word "hurl" is and how excellently true the observation contained in the lines is, maybe you don't like poetry as much as you thought. Or maybe you need to read a lot more of it.
Well, there's a lot more of it in this book. Both the above quotes are pulled from the first quarter of a 100+ page book. At about the halfway point we find:
They are dying one after the other;
shoveling earth on them has become as common
as sprinkling salt on food.
I don't know what anyone could say to work like this except, "Hell yes." I could go on dropping quotes all day, but I can see no real percentage in aggressively preaching to a mixed congregation of the choir and the uncovertable.
Lleshanaku's work is in a vein with some other writers from Eastern Europe I've run across in the last few years. She reminds me of Mariana Marin with a less severe case of depression, but really most of the good work I've seen from Romania or Poland and elsewhere in the region is in the ball park. Lots of images, vernacular language, a tendency to roll around in the lower reaches of the culture, and a level of comfort on the part of the poet with the saying of things, the making of explicit statements about the nature of something, be it the self, the world, or some interaction between the two.
Point being, there's something going on over there that we're only just now getting a chance to see in this country, thanks to books like this and translators like Henry Israeli and Shpresa Qatipi. There are literary cultures less dominated by the inane war between boring middlebrow crap and equally boring academic crap. Child of Nature is a book that comes from such a place. Read it.

Recent busts at Jefferson Terrace and Vanderbilt Terrace cleaning up the complexes for residents
SARATOGA SPRINGS — With the arrest of two alleged drug dealers at Jefferson Terrace in the last month, Saratoga Springs Police Lt. John Catone said the department has "taken care of a major portion of the drug distribution from the Jefferson and Vanderbilt Terrace complexes."
Elizabeth J. Loreman, 54, was arrested after the Saratoga Springs Police Department's Narcotics Unit raided her house Friday afternoon after a months-long investigation into alleged drug dealing there.
Loreman was hit with various felony drug charges related to her alleged dealing of crack, powdered cocaine and heroin out of her apartment in the Jefferson Terrace complex. She was in City Court Tuesday for an appearance, but her case was adjourned until Aug. 7. Meanwhile, she is being held at Saratoga County Jail on $20,000 cash or $40,000 bail bond.
Last month the department also arrested Royal Hamilton, 31, of the Bronx, who Catone said was also suspected of being involved in drug dealing.
Hamilton, according to police, was wanted on a violent felony warrant for robbery in the Bronx, so once they identified him, they arrested him based on that warrant rather than drug charges.
These arrests come weeks after security at the terraces became a topic of conversation at the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority Board of Commissioners meeting.
At that meeting, members of the police department said crime was not significantly up at the Terraces, even though the full-time officer who had been assigned there in previous years was cut because of budget restraints. Since then, another officer has been assigned to patrol the Terraces during the afternoon and evening shift for the summer.
Also at that meeting, board member Al Callucci said he had serious concerns about security at the Terraces. He said he had personally witnessed drug deals at the Terraces while walking through there, something he routinely does as a board member.
When asked by another board member if he had contacted police, though, Callucci said he hadn't, stating the criminals would have been gone by the time police arrived.
Chairman Eric Weller said the Housing Authority has been cooperating with the police every chance they get. He said Executive Director Ed Spychalski is in frequent contact with the police department and they have set up a "police substation" for the officer assigned to the Terraces. Continued...
Weller does not believe there is a problem at the Terraces. "The idea there is some kind of public safety emergency there is not borne out by the numbers," he said, pointing out that there were 122 calls for service to the Terraces during a three-month span that ended in mid-July. That represented 19 more than in the same three-month period last year.
Weller said the police are responsible for safety in the Terraces and the Housing Authority has never had private security, something he would not consider "in the absence of a crisis."
Catone said if people see crime in the Terraces, they need to call the police.
"If they are asking board members to take care of problems out there, that's a problem," he said. "That's our job and we will deal with the issues over time."
He pointed out that police had been investigating Loreman's alleged drug dealing since April to gather enough evidence to obtain probable cause to search her apartment.
"These things take time," he said, "but it accomplished what we set out to do: locate drugs in the apartment, locate the people suspected of dealing them and to send a message that we're watching.
"You may not see us there every day, but at some point we'll be there."
The Saratoga Springs Police Department can be reached by calling 584-1800 or the anonymous tip line 584-TIPS (8477).

'Never Quit': Number '3' has Special Meaning for Hockey Player's Teammates and Community
Signs, posters, hats, wristbands, and shirts with the number "3" are posted in shop windows and pasted on car windshields in Norwood, a small suburb outside of Boston. Windows of local businesses are draped with the number "3". Cars' bumpers are covered with bright yellow circular stickers saying "3", while rear windshields display a mustang with a bold blue-colored "3" through the stallion. The signs posted in Norwood represent a hockey player who has faced adversity and continues to inspire his teammates and the community.
Matt Brown, 18 years old, was forced to mature earlier in his life as a sixteen-year-old. In 2010, Brown was paralyzed from the neck down in an ice hockey game during his sophomore year of high school. After the accident on January 23, he was in the Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital of Boston for ten days before he was transferred to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Ga. who specializes in rehabilitation for spinal cord injuries for about three months. Brown is now a quadriplegic. Although he is confined to a wheelchair, his injury has not confined his goals nor his achievements.
"Matt is on a mission to achieve his goal - to skate again and showcases the drive and determination that we value. He's an inspiration, plain and simple," said Jared Antista, Director of Sales and Marketing of Prove People Wrong. Prove People Wrong is an organization that helps encourage and inspire others to prove people wrong. Whether one is too small or too slow, this organization helps enable people to prove wrong. Brown is on a mission to beat the odds and doubts. "My exact message is that I will walk again!" said Matt Brown emphasizing the "will." He chooses to keep proving people wrong. In the spring semester of his senior year of high school, he announced he was attending Stonehill College in Easton, Mass. to study business and planned to live on campus. "Attending college is something I never imagined I would do after I was hurt so I am really, really, really proud of myself," Brown said. "And the whole part about living on campus is awesome. It makes me feel 'normal.' I am having so much fun and I am so happy that I could do it."
As a freshman in college, Brown has already been able to check off a few boxes of his bucket list. Brown was able to meet with Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, to discuss future plans to build a rink in Norwood. Brown had two galas prepared in his honor. The first gala was hosted at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. The gala featured donated items, such as signed professional athletes jerseys, vacation trips, and many other unordinary commodities, for a silent auction. The turnout was one of the largest at the stadium that people were actually being denied entry because of overcrowding. The second gala was hosted at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Mass. Similar to the first gala, the second one featured a silent auction of donated items, but also included photographs with and signatures from multiple professional National Hockey League players. Also, Brown even had the luxury of meeting a celebrity, Taylor Swift. Swift and mother requested to meet Brown and to have him backstage to relax and simply converse.
Brown's experience has turned tragedy into lessons of perseverance and hope for others. "I have learned how strong of a person Matt is from this experience," said Peter Kelly, a close friend of Brown. Brown's accident not only touched his close friends and family, but also the community. "I have also seen the effects of something like this on communities such as our town, and the hockey community coming together and showing so much support and love to him," added Kelly.
Even though Brown does not know, he helps people in many ways. "Having Matt as a roommate is awesome. When I'm with him I don't feel homesick and when he's not here I do," said Austin Glaser, Brown's roommate. His friend, biggest fan and mother, Sue Brown said, "He has made it easier for all of us. Each day he gets up and faces whatever the day has in store with very little complaining." Although he may be unaware of his friends and families ways of coping and pulling through his accident, his positive attitude was the main reason they were able to cope. Kelly said he could speak on behalf of many of his friends on the ways the friends were able to cope. "It was hard to see someone you love in a hospital bed unable to help himself. Seeing him improve little by little every day helps cope in seeing him on his way back to independence," said Kelly. Another way Brown has helped people cope is to joke around. When people ask about him, he wants the answer to be serious, yet humorous. "My Journey, the highs and the lows, but mostly highs. It would definitely be a comedy!" said Sue Brown referring to a title and description of a non-existent TV show based around Brown's life.
Brown has even affected people he does not directly know. "We wanted him to be in our campaign because of his perseverance through adversity in order to achieve his goals. While most of our customers, fans and followers will never face what he does, we feel that his efforts can inspire others," said Antista. Prove People Wrong is an organization that campaigns to, "Overcome the doubt," as Antista simply puts it. Prove People Wrong includes many famous athletes, such as Tim Thomas (National Hockey League goaltender), James Van Riemsdyk (National Hockey League forward), Charlie Furbush (Major League Baseball pitcher), and Kristine Lilly (former U.S. Women's Soccer player). Prove People Wrong exemplifies the story of David versus Goliath in sports form. "His humble recognition of our conference and our purpose showed true character, for not everyone would like to speak in front of hundreds of energized high school students," said Shannon Ryan, Southeastern Massachusetts Association of Student Councils delegate. Brown spoke in early October at the conference for Southeastern Massachusetts Association of Student Councils.
Brown says the strangers who look up to him are a big reason he battles to move forward. "When someone comes up to me and tells me that I am an inspiration it really touches me, Brown said, "Because I'm only 18, I'm still a kid and I'm having people who are a lot older than me calling me an "Inspiration." That's the type of stuff that keeps me going!"
Brown demonstrates a high-spirited attitude. He symbolizes the "no fear" outlook on life. His constant daily struggles show what determination and good-will can achieve and makes "the sky the limit for him," said Glaser. The saying "Never Quit" is more than a slogan, it's a lifestyle that Brown demonstrates with amazing ability.

How to Dress for Success
5/30/2008 | by By Sue Marquette Poremba
Toddler clothes are adorable. Who can resist the cute little overalls or the colorful onesies or the soft footed pajamas?
For children who are in diapers full time, those outfits are just fine, but when a child begins potty training, it is time to put them in the back of the closet or give them to the local thrift shop. When it comes to potty training, simple and easy-to-use clothes outrank cute and adorable.
Go Against Fashion Trends
Parents quickly learn that while it might be nice for their child to be the fashionable kid in the neighborhood, most of these clothes aren't practical. The best clothes a child can wear during the potty training process are the ones that are easiest to take off quickly. Many parents and experts suggest that little girls wear dresses. In cooler weather, sweat pants are a favorite choice for potty training children.
"Kids tend to wait until the last minute to go to the potty," says Cindy Buchanan of Columbian, Ala., a mother of two. "If they have a lot of trouble getting the hooks and latches and buttons on overalls undone they will wet themselves before they get it all taken off." This is the case even after the potty training is complete, Buchanan is quick to add. Even her daughter, who is in first grade, refuses to wear overalls or any outfit that is too complicated to take off quickly.
If It Is Easy, They Will Go
Children of all ages should be encouraged to pee between eight and 10 times a day, says MiChelle Passamaneck, a pediatric and urology nurse practitioner at the University of Colorado Denver Health Services Center. "However, most children think using the bathroom is a waste of time," she says. "The harder it is for them to take off their clothes, the harder it is to get them to use the bathroom on their own." Furthermore, according to Passamaneck, infrequent urination or "holding it" for long periods of time can lead to bladder or kidney problems.
Children should wear clothes that can be easily dropped to the ankles or kicked off completely so the knees can be spread apart, which makes peeing much easier and more comfortable, says Passamaneck. "Tights and leggings are the hardest to get off, and little girls rarely push them down far enough when going to the bathroom," she adds.
Tips for Dressing
Keep these tips in mind when dressing your child for potty training success:
- Less is best. "When I [worked on potty training with] my twin girls, it was best accomplished by wearing nothing for several hours in the morning," says Tracy Rasmussen of Pottsville, Penn. Buchanan agrees. "If we're at home and no one is there or coming over, the kids can run around in their T-shirts and undies. When they are first learning, you know they are going to have accidents, so that is only one little garment to change."
- Gradually expand the time wearing underwear. "As your child becomes more confident and comfortable wearing undies, add additional practice time until your child is wearing them all day," says Dr. Eileen Kennedy-Moore, a psychologist and mother of four.
- Pick long pants over shorts. "Always dress potty training kids in long pants, not shorts," says Jennifer Koons, a Roswell, Ga., mother of two. "When accidents happen, the long pants absorb more and save your carpets and furniture."
- Take advantage of warm weather. In cold weather areas, small children wear a lot of layers, especially if they are playing outside. It is easier for both the child and parent when there are fewer clothes involved.
- Take a test run. Parents shouldn't assume their child knows how to put on or take off pants. With each new outfit, there should be practice time. Children will be more willing to go to the potty if they are confident they can undress with confidence.
- Dress for the occasion. Letting your children run around the house naked or in minimal stages of dress is fine if you are at home alone. At daycare or when visiting friends, children should wear elastic band pants or dresses.
- Be prepared. Accidents will happen, so be prepared. Keep one or two extra outfits and a stash of PULL-UPS® Training Pants in the car.
- Don't forget nighttime! Potty training doesn't end when bedtime comes. The same general rules should apply to nighttime wear: think nightgowns, two-piece pajamas with elastic bands and T-shirts and PULL-UPS® Training Pants.

When Donald Trump took over the Doral Golf Resort & Spa last year, he said he had two choices.
I can fix it and clean it and get great food and make it very nice but it can never be great, said Trump in a telephone interview Tuesday. Or, I can spend $200 million and truly make it great.
Trump, the New York developer with a penchant for making a splash, chose the latter.
One of Trumps first moves was to plant rows and rows of areca palms around the red and gold golf courses, erecting a visual buffer between the homes and greens. Trump said the trees were necessary to protect the homeowners from getting hit with golf balls and to muffle the sound of the maintenance workers.
Trump also noted the trees aesthetic value.
What happens is when you are on, as an example, the first green on the gold course, you are staring at houses with laundry hanging out their window in some cases. Its not appropriate for the finest resort in the country, Trump said.
The homeowners in the Fairway Homes community, many of whom have paid $500,000 and up to have a home with golf course view, have a decidedly different view of their homes. The community has 65 homes with golf-course views.
The homeowners association does not allow us to do that [hang laundry outside] and they are very strict about what the rules are, said Antonio Pardo, 70, a part-time resident. Its absolutely forbidden for that to happen.
The palm trees are only part of the problem, say the residents, whove complained to the city about loud, early morning noises coming from the resorts maintenance crews.
The president of the homeowners association says he regularly hears from members complaining about the noise.
They call me and send me emails to tell me, I cant sleep, Hugo Ledezma, president of the Fairway Homes of Doral Estates Homeowners Association, said at a special city council meeting Tuesday. What my residents want to hear is tomorrow morning, Can I sleep at least until 7:30?
The city council called the meeting to seek a resolution to the citys recent legal action.
On Jan. 18, the city filed an emergency motion seeking an injunction against the resort, alleging that it has continuously operated commercial noise-producing lawn mowers, blowers, chainsaws, power tools and other noise-producing tools .... between the hours of 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. on weekdays, and 6:30 p.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturdays and any time on Sundays.
The city has spent about $20,000 in legal fees on the issue.
Nobody wants a legal battle, except for attorneys, said City Manager Joe Carollo.
In November, a special magistrate found the resort committed 19 violations against the citys noise ordinance and fined it $28,500. In addition, the magistrate ordered the resort to pay $1,500 if any future violations occur.
The council on Tuesday voted unanimously to place a 30-day hold on its emergency complaint and the magistrates order, to let the city and Trump negotiate. The city has not officially served its suit on the Trump organization.
Donald Thornburgh, the resorts director of golf, said the resort has kept the same maintenance times as its previous owners, but Trump has doubled the staff size and equipment.

Loved the Decor and History of the on site Restaurant. It was the main kitchen for the Manor. Craig was fun and informative. A bit pricey at $100 for Halibut and Chicken Roulade (Entree only) Salad priced seperately and one glass each of wine and beer. Food was overcooked.

Because this place only has 7 tables, a reservation is highly advisable. Our host, server, waiter, bartender was Craig and he did a great job interacting with the customers.

Only seven tables, so reservations are a must. The manager, Craig was extremely attentive and friendly. I had the quail appetizer, and the NY Strip with Lump Crab Meat and Shrimp. My wife had the smoked oysters and Braised Short ribs. We both had the homemade strawberry sorbet. The great atmosphere was only surpassed by the food. Will be returning... More
Loved this personalized dining experience at the Thursday night Wine Dinner. A short walk from the parking lot, past the manor house, towards the separate kitchen location now the restaurant that holds perhaps a max of 20 or so people. The dinner featured a satisfying dinner, no surprises but very enjoyable nonetheless. The creamy peanut soup ( can't leave Virginia... More
Walked from my room to celebrate Valentine's a day late. The lobster soup was outsanding, ordered the pork shank, and seafood special. Both dishes were well prepared and excellent. The fireplace was warm and inviting. The wine special was also enjoyable. The chef is always funny and engaging.
My husband and I had dinner here and absolutely loved it. It has such a unique atmosphere-it is a renovated kitchen from a colonial manor house. Very intimate, historical and lovely. The wait staff is amazingly attentive but also leaves you time to yourself to enjoy talking. Also the chef came out and talked to us a bit which was... More
We have visited the Kitchen for both regular dinner service and a wine dinner and had great experiences at both. The wine dinner is a great way to enjoy a high-end dinner and try several different wines; the comments by the coordinator are helpful but not intrusive. Regular dinner service is intimate; the dining staff are willing to make accomodations... More
We had dinner here and the food was fantastic. We had the lamb rack and beef brisket. Both were superb. Much better than all the American places we have been to do far. Would be great for people wanting a high quality place for dinner. The price wasn't cheap for the USA but great for us Australians! I certainly would... More
My wife and I went to the Kitchen at Powhatan Plantation for New Year's dinner. The atmosphere is great, the food very good, and the service very attentive.

An independent fact-checking group, FactCheck.org, claimed Friday that a new Obama campaign ad attacking Mitt Romney over a tax avoidance scandal is "badly misleading."
"The Obama campaign strikes another low blow with a TV spot accusing Mitt Romney of 'personally' approving a notoriously abusive tax-avoidance scheme and suggesting he may have paid 'zero' tax," the FactCheck.org article states. "That's badly misleading."
The spot, released Thursday by the president's re-election campaign, points to an op-ed by two tax experts who claim Romney was involved with the reporting of a $70 million fictional tax loss when he served on the board of Marriott International from 1993 to 1998.
"During that period, Marriott engaged in a series of complex and high-profile maneuvers, including 'Son of Boss,' a notoriously abusive prepackaged tax shelter that investment banks and accounting firms marketed to corporations such as Marriott," states the op-ed, which was published this week on CNN.com.
The authors --Peter C. Canellos, former chair of the New York State Bar Association Tax Section, and Edward D. Kleinbard, former chief of staff of Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation--wrote that the "Son of Boss" tax shelter marked "perhaps the largest tax avoidance scheme in history" and cost the U.S. "billions in lost corporate tax revenues."
While Romney did not face criminal charges, unlike others linked to the scandal, the authors wrote "his endorsement of this stratagem provides insight into Romney's professional ethics and attitude toward tax compliance obligations."
But FactCheck.org said Friday that Marriott wasn't the only company involved in the "Son of Boss" scheme.
"Viewers (of the ad) may get the mistaken impression that Romney -- actually Marriott -- is solely to blame for 'one of the largest tax avoidance schemes in history.' Not true. It was a strategy used by many taxpayers that resulted in billions in lost revenue," the article states.
The Obama ad also doesn't give context about Marriott, FactCheck said, and leads the viewer to believe it was Romney who personally handled the deal.
"The tax scheme didn't benefit Romney, and the fictional losses were not his," FactCheck says. "The company involved was Marriott Corp, not Romney or Bain Capital. But the ad gives no hint of this."

The 2nd Myanmar Mining Summit, organized by Centre for Management Technology and hosted by the Ministry of Mines, again received positive response from a good mix of international delegates and local officials & experts.
Yangon, Myanmar (PRWEB) February 06, 2013
Union Minister of Mines, His Excellency Dr. Myint Aung, opened the [2nd Myanmar Mining Summit with the announcement of ongoing amendments to the mining law to make it more foreign investment-friendly to encourage exploration of the country's untapped mineral resources.
As Myanmar's mining industry is expected to boom with the influx of foreign investors bringing in technology and resources for exploration, the 2nd Myanmar Mining Summit was an opportune platform for keen investors to convene for timely updates and understanding of the mining and investment climate.
U Tin Tun of Georesources said that the event helped him attain "knowledge and information about mineral resources and mining industry", and Mr. Kartikeya Verma of GreenRock commented that the updates will allow his company to "take goals to the next level in Myanmar".
Leading private silver, lead and zinc mining company, China Polymetallic Mining Limited, also participated as the Premium Sponsor of the summit. Exhibiting a quality portfolio of assets in ramp-up, development and exploration stages, the company is planning to actively participate in Myanmar's grand mining development project and help Myanmar realize the full potential of its mineral resources.
Watson, Farley & Williams Asia Practice, a prominent international law firm with more than 30 years' experience in the energy and resources field, also lent support as the Afternoon Reception Sponsor.
The successful event brought over 300 industry players together.
