Buckle up! Chicago temperatures over the coming week are promising area residents quite a ride. From the unseasonable (and ill-timed) April-level chill with which the Memorial Day weekend opens Saturday and Sunday, to the heat of summer—likely to ride howling southerly winds into the area from Tuesday afternoon next week forward—area residents are in for what amounts to a ride through the temperatures of multiple seasons.
Clusters of showers and thunderstorms are to erupt along and to the north of the sharp thermal boundary between the two widely varied air masses. Their trek across the Midwest makes it likely they will only brush areas from Chicago north while exposing far west and south suburbs to more significant rain tallies.
A corridor extending from Iowa east/southeastward into central Illinois and Indiana is likely to be on the receiving end of impressive rainfalls in the 1 to 4" range while far lighter amounts are to occur to the north.
A larger swath of the Chicago area gets in on precipitation later in the weekend as a northward shift in the well-defined boundary between unseasonably warm air to the south and unusually chilly air to the north takes place. Wider-coverage, frequently thundery clusters of storms may well reach Chicago and areas north later Sunday night into Monday (Memorial Day). And additional thunderstorm-clusters are likely Monday night into Tuesday morning before shifting north, allowing rains to scatter and thin out here.
The 50s Thursday and Friday produced the coolest May 23-24 period in 26 years
Chicago's official highs of 54 Thursday and 57 Friday marked the first time in 3 weeks readings that cool have occurred. It's the chilliest set of Mar 23 and 24 temperatures in 26 years.
Lakeshore communities shivered Friday through highs limited to the 40s
Though winds were a fraction of the near 50 mph peak velocities observed on Thursday, Friday afternoon's east/northeasterly flow off Lake Michigan produced quite a chill in lakeshore areas.
Temperatures peaked no higher than the 40s at Kenilworth (48); Wilmette (48), Highland Park (48), Glencoe (48) and Northfield (49).
Hottest weather of 2013 to sweep in with warm front's passage early Tuesday; series of 90-degree highs to follow mid and late week
Chicago's weather is to undergo a sea change next week. From Monday's 69-degree Memorial Day high—a radical shift from the 95-degree reading which occurred on the holiday a year ago—temperatures are to surge into the mid 80s Tuesday and low 90s from Wednesday through Friday if current forecast trends hold up. Temperatures at those levels would be the highest to date in 2013.

The rapper's private jet had to make an emergency landing in Texas when he suffered the health scare and he was quickly brought to a local hospital, according to TMZ. While the exact problem is unknown, he is reported to be "doing better". This is the latest trouble for the star, real name Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., after he recently filed a lawsuit against Quincy Jones III for using his music in a documentary film. In the court documents he claimed he never gave permission to use his music in The Carter, a motion picture about him. Songs used in the movie include hits such as Lollipop, Stuntin' Like My Daddy, Pussy Monster, Let the Beat Build, La La, Mr. Carter, A Milli, and Dontgetit from his multi-platinum selling album, Tha Carter III.
Lil Wayne claims music producer Quincy Jones' son and the other producers never asked if they could use his tunes in their project. However, it seems he cooperated with the filming of the documentary, because he allowed cameras to follow him around. Lil Wayne didn't like the outcome of the movie and sued over it, claiming it was a "scandalous portrayal" of him. In the music lawsuit, filed by the firm of Lavely & Singer on behalf of the star, Lil Wayne asks for unspecified damages and an order prohibiting the producers from using his music.
Check out Lil Wayne's video for My Homies featuring Big Sean here.

Official LoL University website
What is LoL University?
League of Legends is what is known as a MOBA: A Multi-Player Battle Arena. MOBA's are a relatively new genre of game with only a handful titles to choose from, and most new League players have little to no experience with the MOBA style of gameplay. The multitude of different tactics, mechanics, and gameplay quirks in LoL can quickly overwhelm newer players (and even advanced players!). Enter LoL University, your ticket to a rewarding game experience!
LoL University is an ever growing community dedicated in helping you (the new player) excel and melt face in League of Legends! We've put together a team of knowledgeable League of Legends players who are willing to take the time to help guide you through the basics of the game, as well as offering their advice, input, and experience towards answering any questions you may have about the game, individual champions, items, builds, or anything else you can dream up (philosophical quandaries by appointment only. :P). These "Mentors" have been vetted fairly extensively, and should all be more than capable of either answering your questions fully, or directing you to those who can. Mentors are also available for 1v1 matches to show you the ropes or work on improving elements of your game, and may even be willing to queue with you for some Co-Op vs. AI or Normal matches!
LoL University was started by Eggtart Chow, our esteemed Grand Poobah. After several years, incarnations and attempts at this, we found a webmaster and new management, and now have a site. Go us.
In-Game Chat
We have an in-game chat room! Here's how to join:
1. On the bottom right of your screen, you see two chat bubbles; this is the chatrooms window. Click on it.
2. Press the button with the + sign. Where it says Create or Join a Chat Room, type in "LoL University" (without the quotes).
3. Welcome to LoL University! *I recommend clicking the cogs (top right corner of chat) immediately after joining the room and checking the "Auto join" button. It'll make it so you don't have to repeat this process every time you log in.
In the in-game chat, we encourage you to find people for games, make friends, ask questions, and generally have a good time. That said, we expect you to be polite, courteous, and avoid excess profanity or anything that would violate the Summoner's Code for acceptable behavior.
The same rules of general politeness and courteousness that we hold you to on the in-game chat apply to any third-party communication program as well.
Becoming a Student
Becoming a student couldn't be easier. You can join chat and look for a mentor, if you want it NOW. Whichever mentor is around at the moment should be able to help, or point you in the direction of someone who can.
Alternatively, you can make a post here in this thread with your summoner name, summoner level, and time playing for/# normal wins/ranked elo/all of the above, along with a short introduction. Feel free to indicate what you'd like help with; be as specific as possible to help your mentor figure out what to focus on. PLEASE NOTE, it doesn't hurt to say "I need help with EVERYTHING", though if you can be more specific, it'll help us help you more effectively. (That is, if you know what you're asking, please ask. If not, we'll help you figure that out too.)
Or you can make a post in our offsite forum. (link at top of post) NOTE THAT LOL U FORUM MEMBERSHIP IS REQUIRED TO POST STUDENT APPLICATIONS IN THAT FORUM. This is because we really, really don't want to deal with spam.
We'll either assign you to a mentor, or a mentor will volunteer to take you on as a student. You should be receiving an in-game friend request about this. Please let us know how the experience was for you, as knowing this will help us improve our mentoring for future students!
Example Application:
Summoner Name: NewPlayerXSummoner Level: 5Playing For: 2 weeksTime zone/usually online at: 8pm-10pm CST weekdays, all day weekends (We do try not to match mentors with students who are never online at the same time.)I'd like to improve my last-hitting, as well as learn how to control my lane better. I really like ranged attack damage carries (especially Ashe) and would like to improve, but I'm also interested in trying a few tanks (Amumu seems interesting). My positioning could also use some improvement, as I find myself dying a lot in teamfights. |
A: Feel free to drop into chat any time. As long as you abide by the chat rules, we're happy to have you.
Becoming a Mentor
So you think you can mentor? Excellent! LoL University is always looking for skilled players to join our ranks of mentors. If you're interested in teaching new players how to play, fill out the simple application located on our site. Note that LoL U forum membership IS required to apply for mentorship. Our student distribution is handled through our own forum, we need you there for admin purposes.
To be added to the list of Mentors you will need to be evaluated by a qualified member of the Council: contact one of these individuals for evaluation after submitting your application. You will not be judged solely on gameplay skill. Instead, or in addition, you will be judged on how well you mentor, your attitude, your methods of mentoring, and how active of a player you are. You must also be level 30. Additionally, mentors are encouraged (but not required) to download Ventrilo, Skype, or some other free voice chat program, as communication with your students is a very useful tool in your teaching arsenal.
Note that becoming a mentor is a commitment. You will be expected to be willing to actually instruct the players you have agreed to mentor: this may include discussions, 1v1 matches, or even making a Smurf account and playing a few games alongside them. If you're not willing to actually commit to helping new players, do not waste our time by signing up.
Also, note that filling out an application does NOT mean you will be a mentor right away, or at all. You have to go through the evaluation process first. Once you have been cleared, we'll start assigning you students, or you can be pro-active and go stake your claim on them first.
Q: What about those of us who want to help, but don't have enough time to mentor according to the criteria?
A: Our distribution service will take into account how much or how little time you have, but what's a mentor without students? As always, chat is open, but I'm afraid that's all we can offer right now.
LoL University runs teaching events on occasion. The event announcements will be posted in our Announcements forum, this thread and the New Players Forum on the main LoL boards. Look out for them!
Side Note (Last Edited: May 11, 2013)
While I have had an absolute blast mentoring over the years I do believe it is time I retire from mentoring. I simply don't have as much free time as I used to and the free time I get to play LoL I'd like to just play the game (I was active almost everyday for over a year mainly just teaching). I may do an occasional session every now and then and I'll definitely still be in the chat room lurking and helping. Just because I'm retiring, however, doesn't mean you should hesitate to add me, I add everyone! I still help everyone who messages me questions. Feel free to message me just to say hey, as well! I've met a ton of great players over the years and am looking forward to meeting YOU!
My personal retirement does NOT mean that LoL University has ended, however. There are still a TON of people who are extremely dedicated and passionate who are keeping this program alive! I am beyond thankful and honestly amazed that so many wonderful people are grabbing the reigns to give me a well-deserved break. LoL University will never die!

Summer Dresses: Look as cheery as the weather
Here in Singapore, we have summer the whole year round. And when the temperature goes up in June, dresses will definitely be more comfortable than jeans or pants. Great for work, for casual events and even formal functions, take your pick from Zalora's online collection of summer dresses. But with so many designs, styles and colours to chose from, here are a few pointers to help make shopping a little easier for you.
Women's Clothing: Summer Lovin!
Firstly, comfort is of utmost importance. You want to make sure your skin can still breathe freely from the heat and humidity. Hence, the material of the dress matters. Summer's the time when you should bring out all thebright and cheery colours. Next, you want to ensure that the cut of the dress flatters your figure. For tall ladies, experiment with prints, they make your long, lean body seem curvier; horizontal details are good and remember to accessorise! Curvy ladies should show off your shoulders and emphasize your slimmest points. For petite ladies, show off those legs! Embrace shorter skirts, especially the ones that will give you some volume like pleats, flounces and bubble hems. Those with an athletic built should take the plunge; deeper necklines and accentuate the waist. While those with a rectangular body type should look for sweetheart and scoop neck lines to help create curves. Cinch your waist with a belt to help create some curves. Longer dresses are especially flattering on you too.
There are some summer essentials that will complement your dress too. Make sure you have nice sandals, colourful accessories, a pair of fabulous shades and belts. Hats and cute umbrellas are a must if you are heading outdoors. You can dress up your summer dress for work too just by throwing on a structured blazer and the right pair of shoes.

In honor of this series of hilarious typos, I propose a new name for this episode:
At least all the shipping stories would make sense now if RD was a colt.
Might want to put the pic after the page break so people trying to avoid knowing stuff a head of time don't get tackled.
I really hope it's just a typo, and not something like Hasbro making the MLP crew change RD to a boy.
Maybe it's just the friends I keep, but the current ones make perfect sense to me already :P
Hilarious typos though ^_^
Oh, that silly Rainbow Dash... pretending to be the opposite sex and all... and I'm okay with this. Lawl.
But seriously, it is pretty funny. Wonder who the heck typed that out. XD
You all will be so surprised when Rainbow Dash has her sex reassignment surgery in the season finale and officially turns the series into a moe harem show.
funny how the keep calling her as "his" and "he"
It's funny that the listing uses more instances of 'he' than necessary, as if to make it as obvious as possible.
First polish Spitfire, then brazilian Rainbow Dash and now TV Listings?
Is...is this a thing now?
Turning female characters into males i mean.
*RainbowDash facehoof*
What the BUCK!? I am disappoint...
Christian TV Council: Character on MLP promotes transgenderism to girls.
WHAT?! Rainbow dash is FEMALE?! Wow... That hits hard...
Well, looks like somepony will be spending winter vacation on the moon...
I do not like the sound of this. I swear if they do to Dash what they did to Twilight in Lesson Zero there will be much ranting.
Trollololololololololol hahaha aha!!!!!!! Lol
But really, why my favorite Pony guy?
I remember watching "Suited for Success" and the description called Rarity a he as well
BRB, Writing my first fanfic, that new title Seth suggested inspired me!
And then Dash was Rainbow Blitz for an episode.
Looks like the hub is attempting to make RD straight in all of the fan-fics by transforming her into a he.
Who bets that the masked mare is going to have a VA gender mess up?
Hey to be fair, I thought Rainbow was a guy for almost the entire first episode. Until someone used a feminine pronoun for her. At which point I was all like, "Did they just call him a girl??..... ooooohhhhhhhh I get it now."
I lol'd
But seriously, it's not that surprising to get confused if you're a casual viewer. Hell, my sister thought RD was a male in "Ticket Master".
Besides, last week's episode pretty much made Dash manlier than many of us bronies.
But i still think RD sounds like a girl in the brazilian dub.
More gender-bending? Sweet Celestia, who's next?
@Cereal Velocity
OH CRAP! I just noticed my mistake, Sorry Cereal.
Same summary showed up in the verizon iPad app, pretty funny!
I think you didn't read the note that EqqD posted on that silly gossip. Rainbow Dash is not a colt in Brazil, they still refer to her in the brazilian version as "she", "her", etc.
She just have a tomboyish voice in brazilian version.
To be honest,
When I first saw her, I thought RD might be a young boy...
I saw a picture of another listing that looked just like this one, but with some of the VAs listed.
Andrew Libman.
Next thing you know, Rainbow will be voiced by Sean Schemmel
And this is what happens when Rainbow Dash doesn't listen to Twilight Sparkle and goes to the Byankala region of China anyway.
"When Rainbow Dash discovers that [...], so he [...]."
Dat grammar.
Looks more like a Google Translate fail to me. xD
And the world just keeps on killing me... WHAT DID I DO?!?
People, people! It's not a typo if it's systematically wrong. Someone consistently getting a character's gender wrong through-out a body of text and not getting it right even once, that's the work of someone who just haven't been paying attention.
First the war on Rainbow Dash shipping and now one on technical errors? Sending all available Black Hawks and Nukes.
New ep is due tomorrow, I didn't want to read this.
Rainbow Dash does not approve.
Although I have to admit, the new season 2 intro does make Rainbow sound much more masculine than she did in the season 1 intro.
*falls over laughing*
I was planning to make a Ranma joke too... nothing I could write would be able to top that.
In addition there's a grammar error.
"When (event), so he(action)"
Oh silly Discord, how'd you get employment at The Hub, making the episode summary graphics thingy?
Also, you know she's a tree right? ;)
ROFL I saw this on my own TV listings. I thought they would fix it, but.... macintoshnope.wav
@Petra Leão
Oh good golly gosh really?
I assume you didn't understand that my post was a joke so I'll set the record straight: It was a joke.
@Travis Smith
Don't forget the command codes for the Russian nukes, and the hack keys.
now i know its not true Andrew Libman is a friken businessman(who the hell is responsible for screwing this up)
Pretty damn hilarious, mine has it too!
Also, whoever took that picture really needs to update their firmware... the new stuff has been out for a while! Or get one of the new boxes... they're legit!
By the way, the description is FULL of Engrish as well. Check the full one in my post a couple comments up. It's rather humorous.
>>EquineNoxX said...
>>Also, you know she's a tree right? ;)
I thought fluttershy was the tree...?
I do wonder what this person's impression of RD is after "he" is in a dress numerous times... X)
Though to be fair, with RD's attitude and voice, it's easy to make the mistake it took me half-way through Twlight's meeting with RD in epp 1 to realize RD was female.
Atleast shipping Dash with another mare would make more sense
Oh god, I don't mind the other mistakes, but I might have to kill someone because OH GOD THAT GRAMMAR!!!
When Rainbow Dash[...], so he[...].
When Rainbow Dash[...], so he[...].
When Rainbow Dash[...], so he[...].
I can't get it outta my head!!!
I already reported about this on the MLP:FiM wiki about a week ago (I'm a frequent contributor, and have FiOS) but some idiots (anonymous users) didn't understand, and kepy trying to gender correct RD, so we eventually had to remove it. I took a picture of my TV screen and everything.
Ah! I took this picture! And it's on EQD!
Haha, yeah, I'll get on that. And thanks for putting up a full synopsis.
I think MtBPW fucked them up.
"You said that! You did! He said that!" - Pinkie Pie, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic E6SE2
I'm not sure what's funnier.
The gender-confused description or the fact that my husband recognized the football game behind it. (Arkansas vs LSU) XD
Oh I can see the love and toleration here and now ^_^
Ok, thanks for the explanation anyway =P
BRB, dubbing Rarity in Episode 14 over with Stephen Magnet's voice.
(no I'm not)
All of a sudden I don't feel so bad for calling Scootaloo a "he" in my latest video for MLI.
Pinkie Pie did call her a He at the end of "May the Best Pet Win" when she said, "He did say that!"
I guess mistaking Rainbow Dash for a male is something that's simply unavoidable...
Oh Dashie, you and your tomboy-ish personality.
That's just an epic fail, how could they've been so silly writing that?
I knew Pinkie Pie didn't make a mistake, she really said "he"!
Guys, you do remember that Spike is the new Rainbow Dash, right?
@Teacher Miguel Aha! You're right, that's not a thing that stopped being true or anything.
""And Then Rainbow Dash Was a Colt," and Ten Other Really Awkward Stories"
^I approve of this
RD obviously had a sex change operation between episodes. Happens all the time.
I sometimes make the mistake of thinking Dashie is a guy too, but the other grammatical mistakes are just reprehensible.
Pinkie Pie calls her a 'he', then male voice actor, then this... What?
This looks like something ran through google translate.....
>Implying that homosexual relationship has no sense.
Also, Petra defending us Brazilians. Heh... Nice to see people hanging around EqD.
Our listing was very short, and used a fancy word I've never seen before!
Hey look, they agree with me on RD's real gender! Now to convince them of Scoot's manhood.

We have had a very hard year, but it has also been blessed beyond measure. Earlier this year we were gifted with a large above ground pool. We have had more fun being able to just walk out the back door and take a dip whenever we like than we ever thought imaginable. It has also been fun entertaining family and friends out by the pool. Then, when I had the opportunity to try out a 3M Mobile Projector I was elated. I knew immediately just how I wanted to test it out!
We had a pool/movie party!!!
Do I have pictures?? Nooo, because I didn't plan correctly. Guess what I use to take photos with…yep, my iPhone. Guess what it was being used for…yep, the projector. LOL, it was one of those DUH moments that makes me feel just how blonde I truly am. We had a blast watching a slide show of family photos and watching movies, eating good food and swimming.
With the 3M Mobile Projector you can download movies from iTunes to your iPhone or iPad and watch on a big screen through the Mobile Projector, you can view family photos, you can play games, etc!!! We simply hung a sheet on the side of the house and watched away.
I love how easy it is to use, even for the technologically challenged folks like me. I didn't have to ask Bric for help once!! It is small and lightweight making it even more convenient. This pint size mobile projector allows big screen video viewing from Netflix®, YouTube®, iTunes® and more — and you can use it just about anywhere.
See, it isn't much bigger than my hand! And it seriously took me longer to get it out of the box than it did to figure out how to use it. Simply hook up the cable, pull up your content and play. Easy Peasy!!
Talk about a great gift that can be used over and over and over again. Tate and Bric want one just to play games on. We don't have a large screen TV and they thought it was just too cool that we could just use it to project on the wall.
It can connect to:
- Connects to iPad®' iPad® 2' iPhone® (all generations)' iPod® Touch' iPod® Nano (Generations 3-6)' iPod® Classic (cable included)
- Connects to laptops and computers (additional 3M VGA cable required)

This working paper examines whether new rules from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could help bring transparency to Uganda's oil industry.

Uganda has made significant progress in codifying the rights of access to information (ATI) and participation, and toward putting in place the institutional infrastructure, including a regulatory framework, for the oil sector. Political roll-backs that are re-concentrating power in the executive branch of government and the growing scale of known oil reserves, however, may jeopardize these advances.
In this context, the passage of a new law in the United States requiring companies that file annual reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to disclose the payments they make to host governments for the extraction of oil, natural gas and minerals, could help shore up transparency around investment in Uganda's extractives industry and avoid the failures in governance that have exposed other countries to the "resource curse."
Update: On 21 April 2011, the government of Uganda signed into law new regulations for implementing Uganda's Access to Information (ATI) Act of 2005. The ATI Regulations were long awaited and widely welcomed, since many local and international advocates believed their absence had hindered full implementation of the Act, and stymied efforts to increase transparency and accountability. The Regulations support implementation of the ATI Act in a number of important ways. For example, they establish procedures for citizens to request government-held information and for government to respond to citizen requests. But the Regulations also include a number of burdensome provisions that make access unnecessarily costly and difficult and, as such, they are not in the spirit of the strong right to information provision found in Uganda's Constitution.

Health care providers will encounter bereaved individuals throughout their personal and professional lives. 1 The progression from the final stages of cancer to the death of a loved one is experienced in different ways by different individuals. Every person is unique, and thus there will be many individual differences in grief experiences. Most people will experience common or normal grief and will cope well; others will experience more severe grief reactions such as prolonged or complicated grief and will benefit from treatment. Some may even find that the cancer experience, although it is difficult and trying, may lead to significant personal growth.
Coping with death is usually not an easy process and cannot be dealt with in a cookbook fashion. The way in which a person will grieve depends on the personality of the grieving individual and his or her relationship with the person who died. The cancer experience; the manner of disease progression; one's cultural and religious beliefs, coping skills, and psychiatric history; the availability of support systems; and one's socioeconomic status all affect how a person will cope with the loss of a loved one via cancer.
This summary first defines the constructs of grief, bereavement, and mourning. It then distinguishes the grief reactions of anticipatory grief, normal or common grief, stage models of normal grief, and complicated or prolonged grief. Psychosocial and pharmacologic treatments are explained. The important developmental issues of children and grief are presented, and a section on cross-cultural responses to grief and mourning concludes the summary.
The following information combines theoretical and empirical reviews of the general literature on grief, bereavement, and mourning 2 3 4 5 and is not specific to loss via cancer. Where available, studies that have focused on cancer are emphasized.
In this summary, unless otherwise stated, evidence and practice issues as they relate to adults are discussed. The evidence and application to practice related to children may differ significantly from information related to adults. When specific information about the care of children is available, it is summarized under its own heading.
Grief is defined as the primarily emotional/affective process of reacting to the loss of a loved one through death. 1 The focus is on the internal, intrapsychic process of the individual. Normal or common grief reactions may include components such as the following: 2
Grief reactions can also be viewed as abnormal, traumatic, pathologic, or complicated. Although no consensus has been reached, diagnostic criteria for complicated grief have been proposed. 3 (Refer to the Prolonged or Complicated Grief as a Mental Disorder section of this summary for more information.)
Bereavement is defined as the objective situation one faces after having lost an important person via death. 1 Bereavement is conceptualized as the broadest of the three terms and a statement of the objective reality of a situation of loss via death.
Mourning is defined as the public display of grief. 1 While grief focuses more on the internal or intrapsychic experience of loss, mourning emphasizes the external or public expressions of grief. Consequently, mourning is influenced by one's beliefs, religious practices, and cultural context.
There is obvious overlap between grief and mourning, with each influencing the other; it is often difficult to distinguish between the two. One's public expression (i.e., mourning) of the emotional distress over the loss of a loved one (i.e., grief) is influenced by culturally determined beliefs, mores, and values.
Types of Grief Reactions
Back Up
Many authors have proposed types of grief reactions. 1 2 Research has focused on normal and complicated grief while specifying types of complicated grief 3 and available empirical support 4 with a focus on the characteristics of different types of dysfunction. 1 Controversy over whether it is most accurate to think of grief as progressing in sequential stages (i.e., stage theories) continues. 5 6 Most literature attempts to distinguish between normal grief and various forms of complicated grief such as chronic grief or absent/delayed/inhibited grief. 1 3 4
Bereavement research has tried to identify these patterns by reviewing available empirical support 1 while also looking for evidence that these grief reactions are unique and not simply forms of major depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. 7
Anticipatory grief refers to a grief reaction that occurs in anticipation of an impending loss. 8 Anticipatory grief is the subject of considerable concern and controversy. 9
The term anticipatory grief is most often used when discussing the families of dying persons, although dying individuals themselves can experience anticipatory grief. Anticipatory grief includes many of the same symptoms of grief after a loss. Anticipatory grief has been defined as the total set of cognitive, affective, cultural, and social reactions to expected death felt by the patient and family. 10
The following aspects of anticipatory grief have been identified among survivors:
Anticipatory grief provides family members with time to gradually absorb the reality of the loss. Individuals are able to complete unfinished business with the dying person (e.g., saying good-bye, I love you, or I forgive you).
Anticipatory grief cannot be assumed to be present merely because a warning of a life-threatening illness has been given or because a sufficient length of time has elapsed from the onset of illness until actual death. A major misconception is that anticipatory grief is merely conventional (postdeath) grief begun earlier. Another fallacy is that there is a fixed volume of grief to be experienced, implying that the amount of grief experienced in anticipation of the loss will decrease the remaining grief that will need to be experienced after the death. 9
Several studies 11 12 have provided clinical data documenting that grief following an unanticipated death differs from anticipatory grief. Unanticipated loss overwhelms the adaptive capacities of the individual, seriously compromising his or her functioning to the point that uncomplicated recovery cannot be expected. Because the adaptive capacities are severely assaulted in unanticipated grief, mourners are often unable to grasp the full implications of their loss. Despite intellectual recognition of the death, there is difficulty in the psychologic and emotional acceptance of the loss, which may continue to seem inexplicable. The world seems to be without order, and like the loss, does not make sense.
Some researchers report that anticipatory grief rarely occurs. They support this observation by noting that the periods of acceptance and recovery usually observed early in the grieving process are rarely found before the patient's actual death, no matter how early the forewarning. 9 In addition, they note that grief implies that there has been a loss; to accept a loved one's death while he or she is still alive can leave the bereaved vulnerable to self-accusation for having partially abandoned the dying patient. Finally, anticipation of loss frequently intensifies attachment to the person.
Although anticipatory grief may be therapeutic for families and other caregivers, there is concern that the dying person may experience too much grief, thus creating social withdrawal and detachment. Research indicates that widows usually remain involved with their dying husbands until the time of death. 13 This suggests that it was dysfunctional for the widows to have begun grieving in advance of their husbands' deaths. The widows could begin to mourn only after the actual death took place.
In general, normal or common grief reactions are marked by a gradual movement toward an acceptance of the loss and, although daily functioning can be very difficult, managing to continue with basic daily activities. Normal grief usually includes some common emotional reactions that include emotional numbness, shock, disbelief, and/or denial often occurring immediately after the death, particularly if the death is unexpected. Much emotional distress is focused on the anxiety of separation from the loved one, which often results in yearning, searching, preoccupation with the loved one, and frequent intrusive images of death. 2
Such distress can be accompanied by crying; sighing; having dreams, illusions, and even hallucinations of the deceased; and seeking out things or places associated with the deceased individual. Some bereaved people will experience anger, will protest the reality of the loss, and will have significant periods of sadness, despair, insomnia, anorexia, fatigue, guilt, loss of interest, and disorganization in daily routine. 2
Many bereaved persons will experience highly intense, time-limited periods (e.g., 2030 minutes) of distress, variously called grief bursts or pangs. Sometimes these pangs are understandable reactions to reminders of the deceased person, and at other times they seem to occur unexpectedly. 2
Over time, most bereaved people will experience symptoms less frequently, with briefer duration, or with less intensity. Although there is no clear agreement on any specific time period needed for recovery, most bereaved persons experiencing normal grief will note a lessening of symptoms at anywhere from 6 months through 2 years postloss. Normal or common grief appears to occur in 50% to 85% of persons following a loss, is time-limited, begins soon after a loss, and largely resolves within the first year or two.
A number of theoretically derived stage models of normal grief have been proposed. 14 15 16 17 Most models hypothesize a normal grief process differentiated from various types of complicated grief. Some models have organized the variety of grief-related symptoms into phases or stages, suggesting that grief is a process marked by a series of phases, with each phase consisting of predominant characteristics. One well-known stage model, 18 focusing on the responses of terminally ill patients to awareness of their own deaths, identified the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Although widely used, this model has received little empirical support.
A more recent stage model of normal grief 2 organizes psychological responses into four stages: numbness-disbelief, separation distress, depression-mourning, and recovery. 5 Although presented as a stage model, this model explains "it is important to emphasize that the idea that grief unfolds inexorably in regular phases is an oversimplification of the highly complex personal waxing and waning of the emotional process." 2 Bereavement researchers have found empirical support for this four-stage model, 5 although other researchers have questioned these findings. 19 20
Since the time of Sigmund Freud, many authors have proposed various patterns of pathologic or complicated grief. 1 2 Some proposed patterns come from extensive clinical observation 20 supported by various theories (e.g., psychodynamic defense mechanisms and personality traits associated with patterns of attachment). 21
These patterns are described in comparison to normal grief and highlight variations from the normal pattern. They include descriptive labels such as the following:
Empirical reviews have not found evidence of inhibited, absent, or delayed grief and instead emphasize the possibility that these patterns are better explained as forms of human resilience and strength. 6 Evidence supports the existence of a minimal grief reactiona pattern in which persons experience no, or only a few, signs of overt distress or disruption in functioning. This minimal reaction is thought to occur in 15% to 50% of persons during the first year or two after a loss. 6
Empirical support also exists for chronic grief, a pattern of responding in which persons experience symptoms of common grief but do so for a much longer time than the typical year or two. Chronic grief is thought to occur in about 15% of bereaved persons. 6 It may look very much like major depression, generalized anxiety, and possibly post-traumatic stress.
In addition to these theoretical and empirically supported patterns of grief reactions, much emphasis has been placed on distinguishing normal grief from complicated grief. Most clinicians will be focused on understanding the differences between normal and complicated grief reactions: What is the difference? Under what circumstances should I refer a patient/family member for grief therapy?
Prolonged or Complicated Grief as a Mental Disorder
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) includes bereavement as a diagnosable code to be used when bereavement is a focus of clinical attention following the death of a loved one. In current form it does not consist of formal diagnostic criteria and is generally considered a normal reaction to loss via death. In an attempt to clearly distinguish between normal grief and complicated grief, a consensus conference 22 has developed diagnostic criteria for a mental disorder referred to as prolonged grief disorder, proposing that it be included in the next revision of the DSM. 23
Following are the proposed diagnostic criteria for complicated grief: 24
These criteria have not been formally adopted, and thus there is no formal diagnostic category for prolonged grief disorders in the DSM. However, these criteria help in specifying symptoms, the severity of symptoms, and how to distinguish complicated grief from normal grief. Not all health care professionals agree that the duration of "at least 6 months" is the most accurate number, suggesting that the time period may be too short and that 6 months to 2 years may be more accurate. 25
Risk Factors for Complicated Grief and Other Negative Bereavement Outcomes
Back Up
One study 1 of 248 caregivers of terminally ill cancer patients investigated the presence of predeath complicated grief and its correlates. Results revealed the following variables associated with higher levels of predeath complicated grief:
Of these correlates, pessimistic thinking and severity of stressful life events were independent predictors of predeath complicated grief.
Other research has focused on predictors of outcomes such as symptoms of depression and overall negative health consequences. Three categories of variables have been investigated:
Most research has focused on spousal/partner loss and is not uniquely focused on death via cancer.
Situational: Expected or Unexpected Death
Although theory suggests that a sudden, unexpected loss should lead to more difficult grief, empirical findings have been mixed. 2 The impact of an unexpected loss seems to be moderated by self-esteem and perceived control: Bereaved persons with low self-esteem and/or a sense that life is uncontrollable seem to suffer more depression and somatic complaints after an unexpected death than do bereaved persons with higher self-esteem and/or a sense of control. 2
Personal: Personality Characteristics
Attachment theory 3 has suggested that the nature of one's earliest attachments (typically with parents) predicts how one would react to loss. Bereaved persons with secure attachment styles would be least likely to experience complicated grief, while those with either insecure styles or anxious-ambivalent styles would be most likely to experience negative outcomes. 4
In a study of 59 caregivers of terminally ill spouses, the nature of their attachment styles and marital quality were evaluated. Results showed that caregivers with insecure attachment styles or in marriages that were "security-increasing" were more likely to experience symptoms of complicated grief. 5 Persons with a tendency toward "ruminative coping," a pattern of excessively focusing on one's symptoms of distress, have also been shown to experience extended depression after a loss. 6
Theory has proposed that strong religious beliefs and participation in religious activities could provide a buffer to the distress of loss, via two different mechanisms:
However, empirical results about the benefits of religion in coping with death tend to be mixed, some showing positive benefit and others showing no benefit or even greater distress among the religious. 7 Studies that show a positive benefit of religion tend to measure religious participation as regular church attendance and find that the benefit of participation tends to be associated with an increased level of social support. Thus it appears that religious participation via regular church attendance and the resulting increase in social support may be the mechanisms by which religion is associated with positive grief outcomes.
In general, men experience more negative consequences than women do after losing a spouse. Mortality rates of bereaved men and women are higher for both men and women compared to nonbereaved people; however, the relative increase in mortality is higher for men than for women. Men also tend to experience greater degrees of depression and greater degrees of overall negative health consequences than do women after a spouse's death. 2 Some researchers have suggested that the mechanism for this difference is the lower level of social support provided to bereaved men than that provided to bereaved women.
In general, younger bereaved persons experience more difficulties after a loss than do older bereaved persons. These difficulties include more severe health consequences, grief symptoms, and psychological and physical symptoms. 2 The reason for this age-related difference may be the fact that younger bereaved persons are more likely to have experienced unexpected and sudden loss. However, it is also thought that younger bereaved persons may experience more difficulties during the initial period after the loss but may recover more quickly because they have more access to various types of resources (e.g., social support) than do older bereaved persons. 2
Interpersonal Context: Social Support
Social support is a highly complex construct, consisting of a variety of components (perceived availability, social networks, supportive climate/environment, support seeking) and measured in a variety of ways. However, as mentioned above, lack of social support is a risk factor for negative bereavement outcomes: It is both a general risk factor for negative health outcomes and a bereavement-specific risk factor for negative outcomes after loss. 2 For example, after the death of a close family member (e.g., spouse), many persons report a number of related losses (often unanticipated) such as the loss of income, lifestyle, and daily routineall important aspects of social support.
The following information concerns treatment of grief after the death of a loved one, not necessarily death as a result of cancer.
Normal or Common Grief Reactions
Some controversy continues about whether normal or common grief reactions require any intervention by medical or mental health professionals. Researchers disagree about whether credible evidence on the efficacy of grief counseling exists. 1 2 3 4 Most bereaved persons experience painful and often very distressing emotional, physical, and social reactions; however, most researchers agree that most bereaved persons adapt over time, typically within the first 6 months to 2 years. Thus, the question is whether it is wise to devote professional time to interventions for normal grief when resources are limited and the need for accountability is great.
One approach is to use a spectrum of interventions, from prevention to treatment to long-term maintenance care. 5 In this model, preventive interventions could be one of the following:
In contrast, formal treatment of bereaved persons would be reserved for those identified as experiencing complicated or pathologic grief reactions. Finally, longer-term maintenance care may be warranted for persons experiencing chronic grief reactions.
Another approach has focused on families. 6 7 This brief, time-limited approach (four to eight 90-minute sessions over 9 to 18 months) identifies families at increased risk for poor outcomes and intervenes, with emphasis on improving family cohesion, communication, and conflict resolution. Adaptive coping, with efforts to strengthen family solidarity, and frequent affirmation of family strengths are emphasized.
In a randomized controlled trial, 8[Level of evidence: I] 183 (71%) of 257 families screened were identified as at risk for poor outcomes; 81 (44%) of these at-risk families participated in the trial. Family functioning was classified into one of five groups:
Participants classified as hostile (n = 19), sullen (n = 21), or intermediate (n = 41) were randomly assigned to either the treatment group or a no-treatment control group. 8
Results showed modest reductions in distress at 13 months postdeath for all participants, with more significant reductions in distress and depression in family members who had initially higher baseline scores on the Brief Symptom Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. 8 Overall, global family functioning did not change, yet participants classified as sullen or intermediate showed more improvement than those classified as hostile. Results recommend caution in dealing with hostile families to avoid increasing conflict in such families. 8
Psychosocial Treatment of Complicated Grief
With the development of proposed diagnostic criteria for complicated grief (i.e., prolonged grief disorder), targeted interventions have been tested in two randomized controlled trials. Both studies are of interventions for bereaved persons whose loved ones died from mixed (not necessarily cancer-related) causes.
The first study 9[Level of evidence: I] compared complicated grief treatment (CGT) with interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in 83 women and 12 men, aged 18 to 85 years prescreened, who met the criteria for complicated grief. Both interventions consisted of 16 weekly sessions spread out over an average of 19 weeks per participant. IPT is a widely researched, empirically supported treatment intervention for depression.
IPT therapists used an intervention delivered as described in a published manual, 10 using an introductory phase, a middle phase, and a termination phase. During the introductory phase, symptoms were identified, and an inventory of interpersonal relationships was completed, with a focus on interpersonal problems. Connections between symptoms, interpersonal problems, and grief were identified and discussed. 9
During the middle phase, these interpersonal problems and issues of grief were addressed. Patients were encouraged to develop a realistic relationship with the deceased, to recognize both positive and negative aspects of the loss, and to invest in new, positive relationships. 9
During the termination phase, gains were identified and reviewed, future plans were made and feelings about termination were discussed. 9
CGT was also delivered according to a manual protocol, also organized into three phases. In the introductory phase, therapists described the distinctions between normal and complicated grief. They also explained the concept of dual processing, or the notion that grief progresses best when attention alternates between (a) a focus on loss and (b) a focus on restoration and future. Thus, the introductory phase included both a discussion of the loss and an identification of future goals and aspirations. 9
Throughout the middle phase, attention alternated between the themes of loss/grief and future/restoration. A unique characteristic of CGT was the concept of revisiting loss via retelling the story of the death. This concept was particularly important for persons inclined to avoid thinking about the trauma of the loss. Specific procedures that were modeled after the "imaginal exposure" component of interventions for post-traumatic stress disorder were utilized for retelling. 9
The termination phase for the CGT group was similar to that for the IPT group. 9
Both treatments showed improvements in symptoms, with the CGT group showing a larger percentage of patients responding (51%) than the IPT group (28%). The CGT group also seemed to respond quicker than the IPT group. A total of 45% of all study participants were taking antidepressants. No significant differences in outcomes were found for those on antidepressant medications. 9
The second study of complicated grief 11[Level of evidence: II] compared cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), offered in two different sequences, with supportive counseling for 54 bereaved persons, all prescreened and found to be experiencing complicated grief.
With researchers hypothesizing that maladaptive thoughts and behaviors are an important component of complicated grief, the CBT interventions consisted of two components (exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring) designed to directly impact grief-related thoughts and behaviors. 11 Participants were randomly assigned to receive one of three treatments:
Results showed that both CBT groups experienced more improvement in symptoms of complicated grief and general psychopathology than did the supportive counseling group. In component analyses, the exposure therapy component was more effective than the cognitive restructuring component; the sequence of exposure therapy first, followed by cognitive restructuring, produced the best results. 11
Pharmacologic Treatment of Bereavement-related Depression
The clinical decision on whether to provide pharmacologic treatment for depressive symptoms in the context of bereavement is controversial and not very extensively studied. Some health care professionals argue that distinguishing the sadness and distress of normal grief from the sadness and distress of depression is difficult, and pharmacologic treatment of a normal emotional process is not warranted. However, three open-label trials and one randomized controlled trial of treatment of bereavement-related depression with antidepressants have been reported (see Table 1).
The open-label trials evaluated desipramine, 12 nortriptyline, 13 and bupropion sustained release. 14[Level of evidence: II] The studies included patients experiencing depressive symptoms after the deaths of their loved ones. The depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). All studies evaluated intensity of grief using select grief assessment questionnaires.
Data from these studies suggest that antidepressants are well tolerated and improve symptoms of depression. Data also suggest that the intensity of grief improved but that the improvement was consistently less in comparison with the symptoms of depression. Limitations of these studies include open-label treatment and small sample sizes.
The only randomized controlled study conducted to date 15[Level of evidence: I] compared nortriptyline with placebo for the treatment of bereavement-related major depressive episodes. Nortriptyline was also compared with two other treatments, one combining nortriptyline with IPT and the other combining placebo with IPT. Eighty subjects, aged 50 years or older, were randomly assigned to one of the four treatment groups: nortriptyline (n = 25), placebo (n = 22), nortriptyline plus IPT (n = 16), and placebo plus IPT (n = 17).
The 17-item HDRS was used to assess depressive symptoms. Remission was defined as a score of 7 or lower for 3 consecutive weeks. The remission rates for the four groups were as follows: nortriptyline alone, 56%; placebo alone, 45%; nortriptyline plus IPT, 69%; placebo plus IPT, 29%. Nortriptyline was superior to placebo in achieving remission (P < .03). 15
The combination of nortriptyline with IPT was associated with the highest remission rate and highest rate of treatment completion. The study did not show a difference between IPT and placebo, possibly owing to specific aspects of the study design, including short duration of IPT (mean no. of days, 49.5) and small sample size. 15 The high remission rate with placebo was another important limitation of the study. Consistent with previous open-label studies and for all four groups, improvement in grief intensity was less than improvement in depressive symptoms.
In summary, all of the antidepressant studies conducted to date suggest that the magnitude of reduction and rate of improvement in grief symptoms are slower than the decrease in magnitude and rate of improvement in depressive symptoms. One group of researchers 15 provides possible explanations for this phenomenon, arguing that depressive symptoms may be more responsive to pharmacological intervention because they are directly related to biological dysregulation and neurochemical changes. The other possibility is that the persistence of grief without depressive symptoms is not pathologicalit might be a normal and necessary consequence of the bereavement process.

At one time, children were considered miniature adults, and their behaviors were expected to be modeled as such. 1 Today there is a greater awareness of developmental differences between childhood and other developmental stages in the human life cycle. Differences between the grieving process for children and the grieving process for adults are recognized. It is now believed that the real issue for grieving children is not whether they grieve, but how they exhibit their grief and mourning. 1
The primary difference between bereaved adults and bereaved children is that intense emotional and behavioral expressions are not continuous in children. A child's grief may appear more intermittent and briefer than that of an adult, but in fact a child's grief usually lasts longer. 1 2 3
The work of mourning in childhood needs to be addressed repeatedly at different developmental and chronological milestones. Because bereavement is a process that continues over time, children will revisit the loss repeatedly, especially during significant life events (e.g., going to camp, graduating from school, marrying, and experiencing the births of their own children). Children must complete the grieving process, eventually achieving resolution of grief.
Although the experience of loss is unique and highly individualized, several factors can influence a child's grief: 2 3 4
Children do not react to loss in the same ways as adults and may not display their feelings as openly as adults do. In addition to verbal comm

Judge Rejects Citigroup, SEC Settlement
By Jim Zarroli
A federal judge has nixed a $285 million settlement between Citigroup and the Securities and Exchange Commission. He said the deal was "neither fair, nor adequate nor in the public interest." The settlement dealt with Citigroup's handling of subprime mortgage debt prior to the financial crisis.

News Release Trivia Weekend 2012Wednesday, February 1, 2012
St. Cloud State's 50-hour trivia contest on KVSC 88.1 FM returns Feb. 10-12 with a vinyl recordings focus. "33 1/3: Trivia Long-Play" is the theme for the 33-year-old contest, which drew 71 teams in 2011. As of Feb. 2, 56 teams were registered, including defending champion Mustache and past winners Pull-Start Diesel, Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women, and Sigma Phi Nothing. This weekend expect questions on LPs, 45s and 78 RPM records and all the nostalgia that comes with them.
Volunteers can expect to work three-hour shifts and are needed throughout the weekend. About 40 local businesses provide food for volunteers throughout the weekend. Volunteers who put in 15 hours or more get a free 33 1/3: Trivia Long Play T-shirt. Since 1980, the contest has evolved into one of St. Cloud State's most vibrant subcultures, a heady brew of alumni, friends of the university, employees and students, bound together by friendship, competitive urges and a fascination with facts.
Subculture? Witness the eccentric team names that grace the Golden Urn, the Stanley Cup of collegiate trivia contests: Ultra Voilet Catastrophe, Stefan's Dreamsicle, the Mime Radio Conspiracy and Those Meddlin' Kids. Music sets St. Cloud State's trivia contest apart from competitors such as the Williams Trivia Contest at Williams College, Williamstown, Mass., and the Great Midwest Trivia Contest at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis. KVSC has a house band, the Shake a Hamster Band, that performs during the contest and at the wrap party. The Shake a Hamster Band is a collection of semi-anonymous, professional musicians who've worked the contest for more than two decades, writing, recording and performing parody songs, including "Trivia Tom," a hilarious knockoff of Peter Schilling's 1983 one-hit wonder "Major Tom." Core members include Muggsy Lauer, Jeff Engholm, Nathan Nesje '98, George Maurer and Ted Chopp '94. Wesley Beskar and Derrick Silvestri '06 designed the "33 1/3 Trivia Long Play" artwork. Beskar, who hails from Eagan, is a UTVS/Husky Productions engineer and producer. Silvestri, the UTVS advisor, manages the television studio. UTVS, the university's student-run cable television station, is seen on Charter channel 21, and streamed live at www.utvs.com/21/live.asp. Husky Productions manages home hockey broadcasts from the National Hockey Center. << Previous | Archive | Next >>

Pasta e Fagioli
Author Notes: I swear, when I came home from a study abroad in Rome, I ate this so much my friends began to call it Pasta Fa-Julie. (Yes, that's my name! Close enough anyway. The secret's out!) I modified this one from Gourmet magazine. - QueenOfGreen
Serves 2
- 2 slices bacon, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small stalk celery
- 1 can (14 oz?) chicken broth
- 1 can (16 oz?) cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (16 oz?) whole tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup dittalini
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- grated Parmesan
- In a heavy saucepan cook bacon over moderate heat, stirring until crisp. Add onion and garlic, stirring until onion is soft and transparent. Add celery. Add broth and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl mash 1/3 of the beans, then stir them into the onion mixture along with the remaining whole beans, tomatoes, and oregano. Simmer the soup, covered for 15 minutes, or until pasta is al dente. Then remove from heat and let stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.
- Stir in parsley and top with (lots of!) Parmesan. Feast.

This soup is delicious! My husband gave it a great review, despite not being big into beans or soups. I noticed that the recipe doesn't mention when the pasta goes in, and I assumed it was after the 1st sentence in step #2. I forgot to add oregano and didn't have fresh parsley on hand, but didn't miss either herb. Next time I'll double the recipe so I have more leftovers!

What?! You mean not everyone can read my brain and know exactly what it is I MEANT to say?! Yes, the pasta was supposed to go in right after mashing the beans and adding tomatoes. Good thing you are all smart cookies!

Outstandingly good and easy too. I used orzo and ended up adding a total of a quart of chicken broth to make it more soupy. Also dropped in a bay leaf and a big hit of black pepper. Great deep flavor and good color. I'll do this again and often.
