Matt Hughes got himself a brand new Custom Made 1966 Chevy C10.
Truckin' Magazine has an article about it.
In a random turn of events, nine-time UFC champion Matt Hughes ran into Dave Timm and Brian Walker, owners of 2 Brothers Custom Trucks at the SEMA show in 2007. After a short conversation, 2 Brothers mentioned building a truck for the ultimate fighter and instantly a bond was made. After returning home and getting the funds worked out, the guys at 2 Brothers located two donor trucks-yes, two trucks-and began a three month journey, resulting in an eye-catching classic that keeps you guessing.
It took three months to build a truck literally from the ground up. Both brothers, Dave and Brian, extend a huge thank you to their families for the continued support. At the unveiling in Springfield, you couldn't beat the smile off Matt's face. (Not that you could get a swing in anyway, but you get the picture.) If you're cruising in the heartland and see a country boy in a sweet '66 Chevy, go ahead and give him the thumbs up.
The article itself gives more photos and a lot of more specific details about how the truck was made, if you are into that kind of thing.
Newsworthy? Probably not. Interesting? Maybe to some.

There's lots of bits and pieces of 7970 information floating about on the Internet. Kerry Garrison's excellent Cisco 7970 tutorial was brief, but formed the kernel of the working configuration I now have. Configuration file hacking on the 7970 isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've found several interesting tidbits supporting this, such as the fact that the phone will not error noticeably during boot when it fails to parse a configuration file pulled from the TFTP server, it will just use the last config file it had. This gets interesting, since it fails to correctly parse an XML configuration file where the <phoneLabel> tag contains a value with a space character in it. Apparently, you can only name your phone Cher, Prince, or Twiggy. When this occurs, the phone does pull the file from the TFTP server, so packet sniffing will still show the file transfer, but there's no quick way of knowing if the phone is running from a cached or current config. Also, apparently some phones and/or firmware revs will request files with different capitalization from the TFTP server at boot. XMLDefault.cnf.xml, XmlDefault.cnf.xml and xmlDefault.CNF.XML may appear similar to the casual observer, but they're very different files.
I really like the 7970, though. The voice quality is superb, and it just looks fantastic on a desk, but the SIP firmware needs some polish, including a functional message waiting light. Since Cisco isn't so interested in keeping up with the SIP firmware vs. their proprietary SCCP version, that might take awhile.
But back to my PBX build. I downloaded Trixbox 2.0 beta 1 at first, but had problems with the phone connecting to the assigned extension. Backing off to v1.2.3 with Asterisk v220.127.116.11 brought the phone up properly, but that was only after playing with different 7970 SIP firmware revs, settling on version 8.0.3. Trixbox is just dead easy. Download the CentOS-based ISO, install, log in. Beautiful.
Loading firmware on the 7970 is interesting, as the phone will always query a TFTP server at boot, and will load a new firmware image from the same server if the XML configuration file includes a version that the phone isn't running. It's a relatively odd way to do it, but it does work once you've figured out exactly what the phone wants to see in that file, and have determined that the Cisco firmware release .cop file is just a tar.gz. Toss everything in that file into your TFTP root, reference the version.loads file in the phone's XML configuration (without the .loads) and reboot the phone. It should update the firmware on the resulting boot.

Our love story is unconventional but thoroughly modern. Not unlike a lot of modern day romances, I found my companion online. Hogatha, at first glance, was not exactly what I was looking for. She was almost a year old (I wanted a puppy), she came with some bad habits (snoring, farting, sleeping on the bed), and she was a dark brindle in colour (I preferred fawn). Yet, when we met, none of it mattered. One look in her soulful, brown eyes and I was hooked.
Many times we come into a relationship expecting others to create our happiness, and many times we end up being disappointed. Why? Because it's not someone else's job to make us happy. Happiness begins within. If you want and desire love, you have to begin by first emitting love, and that journey begins within.
We all say we want more love in our lives, but are we actually ready to receive it?I believe positive thinking attracts positive outcomes; though I know it's not always easy training your brain to stop dwelling on negativity. I think if you're serious about finding your match, and you're ready for it, you could just make your wish a reality.
Sometimes when I sit down with a new client, we review how and with whom they are spending their time. What I often see is that women have a "fill-in" boyfriend in their life, meaning a purely platonic guy-friend that they hang out with, laugh with, do activities with, confide in but are not involved with. I've come to learn that this type of closeness can sometimes get in the way of meeting a boyfriend because you are already getting all your needs met by this guy-friend, except for physical intimacy.

Our grandson died after accidentally drinking drug-spiked Lucozade – we cry every day that we have lost him (From Bournemouth Echo)

Grandparents plant tree in memory of popular teenager Jonathon Kerslake
1:03pm Monday 14th July 2014 in News
THE heartbroken grand-parents of a 19-year-old who died in tragic circumstances have planted a cherry tree in his memory.
Barry and Muriel Kerslake said they have struggled to come to terms with the loss of their grandson Jonathon, who had lived with them for nine years.
They have planted a Cheal's weeping cherry tree in their garden in Queen's Park, in memory of Jonathon's favourite tree from his childhood.
"We cry every day that we have lost him, we were very proud of him," said Mrs Kerslake.
"He was fantastic socially, very open and friendly with everyone and always making people laugh.
"It turned out he was more popular than even we had expected, there were 300 people at his funeral.
"As his father said – 'everyone who met him liked him and everyone who knew him loved him'.
"It was such a great loss for us, we felt planting this tree would be an appropriate way to remember him."
Jonathon was born in Bournemouth and went to Malmesbury Park and King's Park schools, Porchester School and later St Peter's in Southbourne.
At age ten he moved to live with Barry and Muriel, although he was very close to his father Joff and his new family.
Around that time he joined the Big Little Theatre Company, and acting became one of his great passions. Over his six years with the company he took part in many productions, only dropping out as he struggled to keep up with music and dance.
He studied psychology at Bournemouth and Poole College, but before his death said he was thinking about going back into theatre.
His love of performing gave him great confidence and warmth towards others, and he quickly befriended his fellow staff at Next Home in Branksome, where he rose to become team leader.
He and his grandmother travelled regularly when he was a teenager, visiting Hollywood and other parts of the United States and Italy, and they attended shows and musicals in Southampton and London.
On March 8 last year Jonathon accidentally took a drug which had been put into a bottle of Lucozade and died shortly afterwards.
His family said they felt unable to pay a proper tribute to him while a police investigation into his death – which never made it to court – was under way.

Law Firms
Major Tampa Firm to Split; Who Gets Fowler White Name?
Posted Aug 15, 2008 2:30 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
One of Tampa's biggest and best-known law firms will split in two on Nov. 1, separating the insurance trial team from the corporate lawyers in what is being described as an amicable separation.
However, it isn't yet clear which segment of the 65-year-old Florida firm will get to keep the Fowler White Boggs Banker name, reports the St. Petersburg Times.
"Without a doubt, both groups want the Fowler White name," senior partner Robert Banker tells the newspaper. He is the leader of a spin-off group of about 150 to 200 lawyers and support staff, which includes the insurance trial group. The firm has about 200 attorneys and a total of about 550 employees.
The division of the firm doesn't signal any financial concerns, and isn't expected to result in any layoffs, according to Banker and Rhea Law, the law firm's chief executive and board chair.

One-Skillet Cheesy Beef and Macaroni
Serves 8 with a lot of leftovers, which you will be grateful for
(so I guess it really serves 10 to 12)
Very possibly the least sophisticated recipe in the book, this may be the one dish that my husband in particular eats as though he will be fasting for the following week. The kids love it, but Gary's eyes get kind of teary whenever I make it. He'll show up for dinner early. It's nothing new under the sun, but once you try it, you will understand the deepest meaning of the word crowd-pleaser. And, it all cooks in one skillet. Even the pasta, which cooks right in the sauce! I know, I know! It's the little things.
Get a huge pan, a twelve or thirteen incher (best pan in the world if you cook for a group regularly), make a vat of this, and keep it in the fridge. If you don't have a huge honking pan, cut the recipe in half. If you have bigger kids who are constantly running in and out of the house with their friends, all of them starving and in need of fuel before or after soccer practice, then you, my friend, may never again be without a pot of this awaiting reheating and inhalation. My sister-in-law Lisa, with her three large boys and revolving cast of visiting teenagers, swears by it. It is reminiscent of something that rhymes with Flamberger Felper, but it's better and it's yours.
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 cup chopped red, yellow, orange, or green bell pepper (about 1⁄4-inch pieces)
1 cup peeled chopped carrots
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 cans (28 ounces each) crushed tomatoes in juice (see You Say Tomato . . . , page 155)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 to 3 teaspoons chili powder (optional but recommended)
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3⁄4 pound dried elbow macaroni
2 cups (8 ounces) grated cheddar cheese
1. Heat a very large skillet over medium-high heat (for this full recipe, it should be a deep 12-inch skillet). Add the beef and cook it until browned, stirring until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Place the browned beef in a strainer and let the fat drain off, then set the beef aside.
2. Wipe out the skillet, add the oil, and heat it over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, carrots, onion, and garlic and cook until almost tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Return the beef to the skillet and add the basil, oregano, tomatoes with their juice, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, if using, and 2 cups of water. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Increase the heat to high and let come to a simmer. Add the elbow macaroni, stir, and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and/or black pepper as necessary.
4. Sprinkle the cheddar on top, then cover the skillet and cook until the cheese is melty, about 1 minute. Serve this right out of the skillet.
Cooking Tip: Leftovers can be reheated on the stovetop over medium-low heat, or in a preheated 350°F oven, for 10 to 15 minutes (you may want to add a bit of water if it seems like the macaroni is drying out). If possible, don't add the cheese until the very end, otherwise it has a way of dissolving right into the casserole and not staying on top in that appealing melty way. If you are serving half of the dish on one day and saving the other half for another, sprinkle one cup of the cheese over half of the skillet, leaving the other half naked for later.
What the Kids Can Do: Kids can add ingredients to the skillet, with supervision, and letting them sprinkle on the cheese during the final step often locks in their appetite for the dish, because it smells great.
Fudgy One-Pot Brownies
Makes 12 huge or 24 reasonably sized brownies
It had been dawning on me that the surest way to achieve brownie nirvana, the kind of fudgy chocolatiness that wimpy people say is too chocolaty (and then go on to polish off another brownie or two), is best achieved by combining cocoa powder and melted chocolate. During this period of intense brownie contemplation I had lunch with Melissa Clark, food writer and mom to young Dahlia, and mentioned my brownie quest. She thought she had a recipe somewhere with dueling chocolates, and she e-mailed it to me that afternoon. I tinkered with it a bit, determined to decode a perfect brownie that could be mixed right in the saucepan. This is the one-pot result. Fifteen minutes of hands-on time, max, and well worth every minute.
I am also ridiculously pleased to say that this recipe shaves off two more common brownie-making steps. Often a recipe will tell you to chop the chocolate before melting it. Here you just make sure to melt it with the butter over low heat, and the chocolate will dissolve gently into the butter, without scorching. Also, you can skip the whole double boiler thing if you keep the heat low enough, don't stray too far, and stir frequently. This saves you washing a chopping board, a knife (or a food processor bowl and blade), and the second double boiler pan. You will want to celebrate this with a brownie.
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus butter for greasing the baking pan (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray (optional)
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1⁄2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
21⁄2 cups granulated sugar
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
11⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 13 by 9-inch baking pan or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place the butter and chocolate in a medium-size saucepan over low heat and let melt together, stirring until smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt, then blend in the vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, stirring to mix quickly so they don't have a chance to cook at all before they are blended in. Blend in the flour.
3. Scrape the thick batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until the edges just begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
4. Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack. When completely cool, cut them into 12 or 24 squares.
Cooking Tip: A bit of bad news, I'm afraid. You really need to let these brownies cool completely before you cut them or they will cut messily and not hold their shape very well. It's best to leave the house to avoid temptation. But, hey, they're for a bake sale. You weren't going to actually eat one? Oh, okay, that'll cost you $1.00. By the way, the brownies are so much better, both in terms of taste and consistency, when they are completely cool-in fact they're even better the next day, firm and amazingly moist inside, with that gorgeous lightly crackled top crust.
Make Ahead: I have heard that these brownies can be stored in a tightly sealed container for up to five days, but this may be just a rumor.
What the Kids Can Do: They can measure, mix, dump, stir, pour, stand around saying "Are they cool yet? Are they cool yet? How about now? Are they cool now?"

David Davis slams aid pledge
Senior Tory David Davis said the Government's pledge to spend 0.7% of national income on international aid each year was "nonsense."
The Conservatives are planning to codify the 0.7% yearly pledge into law, but Mr Davis told a fringe event, hosted by ConservativeHome, that he did not agree with this:
"With one or two exceptions, like spending money on India and maybe China, most people when they think, actually think, about the use of aid broadly approve of it.
When it's saving children from malaria, when it's saving children from dying from malnutrition, when it is rescuing countries that are in dire straights.
What I don't actually agree with the Government's policy on is the 0.7%. I think that is just nonsense. We should spend the money on aid that needs to be spent on aid."

Well, it looks like "The Secret Service," the next Matthew Vaughn-directed adaptation of a Mark Millar comic book, is almost fully staffed with secret agents. According to a Variety report, newcomer Taron Egerton has landed the lead role of a young street tough who is turned into a super spy, in a story Millar has described as "My Fair Lady" meets James Bond. Meanwhile, the hunt for a female lead is still on, with Bella Heathcote and Emma Watson looking like the current frontrunners.
"The Secret Service" originated as a comic book by Mark Millar, whose comic book creations also inspired "Wanted" and "Kick-Ass" (he also serves in some kind of creative capacity on the Marvel movies Fox has in development) and Dave Gibbons, the artist who worked with Alan Moore on the beloved "Watchmen" series. It tells the story of a kid who is taken under the wing of his super spy uncle, who teaches him how to be the best spy he can be. It's pretty warm-hearted, given Millar's usual nihilistic streak, and should make for a fun deconstruction of the genre.
So far Egerton joins Colin Firth (as the uncle) and Michael Caine (as the head of the spy organization). Whoever Vaughn picks for the female lead would play the romantic love interest for our young spy. Heathcote came off a great 2012 in which she costarred in Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" and David Chase's "Not Fade Away" (if either had been a bigger hit she'd be shortlisted for everything). Watson, of course, is transitioning from her "Harry Potter" mode, with two winning performances this summer in "This is the End" and Sofia Coppola's brilliant "Bling Ring." Mark Hamill, who makes an appearance in the first issue of the comic book, has also signed on to play himself. According to the Variety report, they're still looking for a huge star to play the bad guy, after both Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio passed.
Egerton is a relative newcomer, with his only credit being the British television series "Inspector Lewis." What's more, he beat out Jack O'Connell (who will star in Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken") and John Boyega, from wonderful British sci-fi romp "Attack the Block," for the role.
Vaughn directs from a script he co-wrote with his writing partner Jane Goldman. Shooting is expected to start this fall, while Fox has scheduled a November 14th, 2014 release date for the film.
Vaughn served as a producer on "Kick-Ass 2," also based on some Millar comics, which opens on August 16th.

emma is so fucking gorgeous
your mom | July 25, 2013 11:09 PM
I want Emma to be in this.
Anna | July 25, 2013 9:01 PM
Even if they will offer it to Watson...she won't accept.The film starts shooting this fall and so id Watson's final semestet in Brown.Though it seems like a project that Watson would be interested in as it deals with some every-day problems.
scott | July 25, 2013 8:38 PM
Emma Watson would be perfect for this role! I think she's becoming better and better at acting.
Ariadne | July 25, 2013 8:26 PM
I feel Emma Watson should be the lead.She reall has grown since potter and i'm imressec.She has a lot of talent and keeps getting better with every film.Plus ,she beat Heathcote for the female lead in both Noah and Cinderella.In Noah rumor has it that she gave an oscar worthy performance.
cole | July 25, 2013 7:35 PM
cool!! I think emma watson should get the female lead :P
skoot | July 25, 2013 6:56 PM
Sounds like O'Connell wanted to go with awards bait and gravitad instead of comic book fare.
BEF | July 25, 2013 6:56 PM
Too bad for Boyega ... His Spike Lee joint doesn't get picked up, he doesn't get this ... I want this kid to break out.

What's Up On Wall Street - Joe Deaux, The Street
Transcript - will not be 100% accurate
And -- -- 10 o'clock hour of financial exchange -- out. Filling in for Barry Armstrong alongside. June ninth and June. Lot of buzz this morning from that Detroit auto show that we've been talking about and a lot of buzz from this baby shower. Where people being getting arrested. Down in and was stowed and I believe. And -- and is -- -- -- -- -- Let's talk about the outer islands baby shower that actually he let's let aid. And there's. It's better than this completely nonviolent video that this principle made it has -- high school that has nothing wrong with it everyone is up in arms about except for the students who actually go to the school. We know the guy that said that this was great. Now while they like I mean he's NY and he makes videos like this sinking out of the blocks east is trying to say look I'm here. I understand you I'm on the same page well not that matches. Now I'm I'm in charge -- make a statement I -- denominator. And number nominated. In any case we are now joined by Joseph -- from thestreet.com. And Joseph how are you this morning. A great -- type guys do on. Doing pretty well here so let's let's take a look at what we have coming up this week the second week. Of fourth quarter earnings season a pretty big week with a lot of companies reporting who are you most closely watching this week. Well I think it's kind of the -- the banks though -- and a bunch of others were probably keep -- nine of them -- JPMorgan. USB on Wednesday Goldman Sachs is also the next day we got Bank of America coming out and then on Friday we've got. We've got more consistently so I think these are these the guys that were really looking out for this week to get defensive front door where the -- sitting -- 2012 was it was an interesting year we didn't end up as high as a lot of analysts had expected audience and -- It and leaving it this year we're already hearing about cutbacks more accurately just enough to cut back on last week. And the Bloomberg had originally reported about 16100 layoffs. So that's the question where we are these companies looking healthy are those are the cuts necessary kind of moving forward. Now Joseph we also got some news this morning and is this some a little intrigued by we got some news out of apple this morning. That they are actually putting orders for iPhone 5 parts so what exactly do you make of this right now. While the Wall Street Journal can mountains said this morning that sources that told them that there is going to beat a ball back in the -- the -- that they're creating on Italy I think there's as some competing theories out there that market theory is that this is bad news I mean we're seeing Apple's down about. -- little more than 3% this morning but on the other hand. You know some people pointed out that. Fourth quarter is always a -- quarter for apple it's it's the final quarter of the year it's also the holiday season when people are buying an icon. And then of course you're gonna have a drop back a while -- a lot of these these analysts and and reporters of course you have. Have dropped back from January to -- so this cutback is coming in the first quarter. I did you -- -- that you know Citigroup had said we don't think it was a huge demand market right now but. You know it is a worthy of a 3% drop archer. All right also awesome news coming out this morning from the Chicago fed the head of the Chicago fed. Coming out and stating their expectations for GDP growth. In 2013 this year as well as next year at 2.5. And 3.5 percent respectively is there anything of note in this announcement that you saw. And maybe scratch your head out a little bit. Well I was talking to local triggered this morning he said you know gold cup with a little more than ten dollars because Charles Evans Indians this in itself forum. And it basically is that we're gonna be continuation of of the evening and in the way he kind of raise it was he doesn't expect to. An increase of that Podgorica occurred to about 25 Keenan and still as many of you know at the Fed Funds rate right now kind of pegged to that this six point 5% Arnold wonder -- possibly be inflationary hitting about 2.5 percent. In which case we might also be a drawback in terms of quantitative easing so. I mean that that's kind of pretty important a little bit of information for people to be looking at especially if they're. If the treatment coal assets. And in the market of course reacts to everything that says these days. And we also had some European leaders come out this morning and said did it in their opinion. The worst is over for their debt crisis right now do you agree with that statement. You know I was talking to an analyst on Friday it was it. -- talking about the situation in Europe I mean we -- the ECB can't mountain essentially leave rates unchanged. Out of her general takeaway is that. Will work kind of out of the way out of the worst when he twelve was behind us. But that's still look at me. Mean it's great right she said the best way to describe it is a sluggish Klein. And in sluggish and slow. So you know is the -- over may -- but that doesn't that doesn't mean it's great that doesn't mean you know jump into it right. Now -- -- exactly so we'll see we'll still have some issues to work through there and I think those will continue through the end of this year but. Also -- looking ahead this week it's a quiet day for economic data today what data are you looking at this week that might be coming on the next couple days. Well tomorrow that you got three big ones to get Producer Price Index hitting retail sales of course that's big with December being a huge month for retail and finally -- the empire state manufacturing survey. -- then tomorrow also in Europe people should keep I would got CPI inflation report coming to -- the eurozone and so. I'm just trying to look for tomorrow there's enough for tomorrow for an entire week especially last week was kind of split this this is the big -- All right -- Joseph I appreciate you coming on with us this morning. And I certainly appreciate the insight into all this and we'll check in with you next week. As always struck take care. Thank you do that was Joseph -- from thestreet.com. Talking about all of the events going on in the markets today June taking a quick look at the markets right now. Down slightly the Dow down fourteen points S&P down four NASDAQ down sixteen so. Pretty quiet day for the most part to start off and I think a lot of folks are still looking -- little bit later in this week when we do have some of that economic data. As well on some of the earnings reports in particular the financials that Joseph mentioned. One we just spoke to himself pretty uneventful at least for today it'll -- the rest of the -- -- will what are we looking forward to there well again I think you're looking at those big financial earnings reports that are going to be coming out later this week you do have JPMorgan you have Goldman Sachs and really the banking sector is one that I think a lot of folks and investors are looking to in order to really gauge the health of this economy and see whether this. This rally that we've had over the last few months. Actually has some legs going forward or if we are gonna hit a little bit of a bumpy patch and and start to see this market have a little bit more volatility on a day to day basis. What does debt ceiling deliberation stuff happening is that before the end of the month because -- You know -- -- and some volatility right there will most likely see them start before the end of the month. The more that I look at this debt ceiling debate the more that I think it's going to have very little effect on the market actually and hopes on I hope you're right I think last time. I think you could see some small ups and downs I think you could see potentially maybe afford a 5% correction but looking. The overall trends that we're seeing in this market is everyone knows that that debates coming right now. And people are still moving money into equities at a pretty pretty steady -- so I I don't think. That this is a case where folks are gonna get spooked the way they did a couple years ago when this first happened and and the reason for his at the end of the day. We know that something has to get done. And we've already seen this before too we've seen how the market reacted we we know the worst that can happen and we know that it recover right after. I just I don't know if investors are going to take that chance of of being out of the market when we do get a solution here so I I just I don't know if they're gonna do the same thing that they did a couple years ago I think -- sentiment right now and I think there fate. Seems pretty strong -- this as they've weathered so much this economy is not. In terrible shape right now actually it's obviously if you look from an individual perspective obviously still a lot of folks out of jobs. But from a from a corporate perspective you look at the health of companies in the way that we're seeing economic growth at this point in particular. In sectors like housing that have been hit so hard. Were not in bad shape actually right now so I think. If if you had the characterized. I think the mood on Wall Street I think it's cautiously optimistic -- as opposed to the last couple years where it was more. Kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop I think. We're starting to move past that fine. So we'll see coming up we are going to be joined by Beth -- from the Boston Globe. Talking about some big changes happening at fidelity that's coming up right here on the financial exchange.

|Meg Hutchinson, a singer-songwriter and Massachusetts native in recovery from bipolar disorder, was the closing speaker for the annual Public Sector Psychiatry Conference.
"What I've learned in the six years since my breakdown is that not only can we get better, we can get better than we were before," said Hutchinson of the long-term, ongoing process of recovery that is vital for individuals living with mental illness to go on to lead productive and fulfilling lives after acute symptoms of their illnesses have been brought under control. Hutchinson was finally diagnosed and began successful treatment for bipolar disorder in 2006, after years of alternating episodes of depression and manic elation.
Acknowledging thatrecovery is hard work and a daily process, she shared the five fundamentals of her own success: support from others; proper medication; affordable health care (as a performing artist with irregular income despite having released six albums, she has received her treatment from public sector psychiatry resources in Massachusetts); lifestyle changes; and, the one she concentrated on most, "cultivating methods for treating a deeper part of ourselves."
Having found that creative expression, meditation and yoga help her immeasurably, Hutchinson urged the mental health care providers in the room to support patients in taking a holistic approach that incorporates non-medical as well as medical treatments. She also gave a shout-out to her friends at Genesis Club, Worcester's exemplar of the international clubhouse model that provides housing, friendship and employment opportunities for adults in recovery from mental illness. Many members and staff of Genesis Club, which has received transitional employment support from UMMS, were in attendance at the conference.
Jointly sponsored by the UMMS Department of Psychiatry and Office of Continuing Medical Education with the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society, the conference brought together psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers and others to share challenges, successes and best practices for treatment planning for patients in recovery from mental illness. With the focus on person-centered, client-driven and strengths-based approaches, the conference included the following speakers in addition to Hutchinson::
Thanking them all for their work on behalf of individuals like herself, Hutchinson summed up the spirit of the conference when she said, "It's great to participate in a conference that focuses on health and recovery instead of illness."

I say YES!
The Celtics are actively shopping Rondo. Should we move Ty and Nene/Chandler for Rondo and O'neal (for salary reasons). ?
This helps us in 2 ways.
We get an upgrade in Rondo a top 5 PG who has a very cap friendly contract a championship ring, he is an allstar and only 25. He will thrive in Karl's running offense and plays great defense.
Plus we get out of Nene's contract and O'neal is a free agent at the end of the season giving us more cap room. This also gives more playing time for Faried.
We could also do a bigger deal moving Ty, Chandler and Nene for Paul Pierce and Rondo.

D-League draft (with focus on Blazers affiliate)
Did you know there is a D-League draft each year? No? Well, there is, and it's the main way by which the D-League teams get players, and not by getting them sent down from NBA teams or by signing training camp cuts though those are of course welcome additions. So this was today again. The first pick (random lottery not based on performance in previous year, then "snake draft") was made by the Reno Bighorns, and they selected former Mavs "real-draft" 2007 pick Nick Fazekas. The Blazers- and Nuggets-affiliated Idaho Stampede came out of the draft with the following players after having the last pick in the first round (any future trades pending): 1. Salim Stoudamire (PG), maybe known to some from Lake Oswego High School and former NBA pick of the Hawks 2. Walter Sharpe (SF/PF), 2008 pick of the Sonics 3. Dominique Johnson (SG), Azuza Pacific University 4. Chris Roberts (SG), Bradley University 5. Kentrell Gransberry (C/PF), South Florida 6. Alan Daniels (SF), Lamar University 7. Willie Jenkins (SF), Tennessee Tech 8. J.T. Tiller (SG), Missouri Two other known names who were drafted: Cheikh "I'm happy Roy plays not in the DL" Samb, and former Blazer Antonio Daniels (in his case maybe he tries to enter coaching and not a full NBA comeback).

U.S. Catholic bishops' new leaders concerned with poor
BALTIMORE (Reuters) - U.S. Catholic bishops elected two centrist conservatives as new leaders on Tuesday, an archbishop from Kentucky and a Texas cardinal, both of whom expressed "solidarity" with Pope Francis' strong emphasis on the poor.
Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, 67, of Louisville, Kentucky was elected to a three-year term as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, while Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, 64, of the Galveston-Houston diocese, was chosen as vice president.
Their election comes as Catholic bishops worldwide are being given new direction by Pope Francis, who has emphasized greater humility and more concern for poverty. The bishops oversee 69 million U.S. Catholics, or about a quarter of the country's population.
"I believe we are very much in solidarity with Pope Francis, and that is, his way of articulating clearly that we need not only to serve the voiceless and the vulnerable, but to be an advocate," Kurtz told reporters after his election.
Christopher Hale, senior fellow with Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, a progressive group that focuses on social justice issues, said he believes both Kurtz and DiNardo "will move the American Church in the direction Pope Francis desires."
Hale cited Kurtz's "long pastoral experience" and praised DiNardo as a "tireless leader on immigration reform. He knows firsthand the problems of a broken immigration system."
Kurtz's election was expected as he is finishing a three-year term as vice president. Known as a reliable conservative who is also well-liked, pragmatic and effective, he replaces New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, an outspoken and colorful conservative elected in 2010.
"It means consistency and with Kurtz a little more concern for the poor and with DiNardo a little more concern about immigration," said Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest and senior analyst with the National Catholic Reporter. Reese noted that Kurtz has a degree in social work and had cared for a brother with Down syndrome.
Dolan's term has been marked by a strong emphasis on opposing gay marriage, abortion, and the Obama administration's mandate that required Catholic schools and hospitals to carry insurance that provides birth control, forbidden by church doctrine, for free.
Bishops under Dolan also took stands for immigration reform and anti-poverty programs, but some liberal Catholics have expressed concern that the overall tone had become too far right.
In an interview published in September, Pope Francis said the church cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and contraception, and must become more merciful.
In remarks to reporters, Kurtz discussed the bishops' support of the "sanctity" of traditional marriage, the protection of the unborn and the importance of helping the poor and immigrants. He also connected moving people out of poverty with the strength of the family.
DiNardo noted that U.S. bishops have been advocating for immigrants for decades.
"I think we're at a good time now where this can be handled," DiNardo said. "I believe there are those on both sides of the aisle, notwithstanding there's still some bitterness, who can work together. We hope to be able to be catalysts."
DiNardo, head of a heavily Hispanic archdiocese of 1.2 million, was the only cardinal of the nine nominees for vice president.
The new leaders are preparing for an "extraordinary synod" of bishops in Rome in October 2014 to discuss teachings related to the family. The Vatican has asked bishops and parish priests around the world about the local views on gay marriage, divorce and birth control ahead of the meeting.
Barbara Dorris of the group SNAP, which represents victims of clergy sex abuse, expressed disappointment with Kurtz's election, saying he had not joined the ranks of 30 U.S. bishops who have posted on their web sites the names of "proven, admitted and credibly accused child molesting clerics." SNAP is short for Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
(Reporting by Mary Wisniewski; Editing by Daniel Trotta, Cynthia Johnston and Leslie Gevirtz)
What they should be talking about is: "Can we bishops and cardinals start to be honest about the culture of secrecy in regard to our covering up of the sex abuse of innocent kids, and how can we 'really' take action to protect children, rather than working so hard to keep up with our lies?"
Sadly the silence continues and the safety of children is still not a priority within this institution.
But silence is not an options anymore, it only hurts, and by speaking up there is a chance for healing, exposing the truth, and therefore protecting others.
