Jose was a 32-year-old Mexican American man who self-referred himself to me for treatment of his anxiety and fears about contracting HIV. He had attended a presentation on HIV/AIDS prevention that I had given 1 year earlier at a "professional group."
Around the age of 14, Jose realized that he was attracted to men. He had his first homosexual experience at age 16. Jose had moved away from home at the age of 18 because he was concerned and afraid that his parents would not approve of his homosexual orientation. His father was a general surgeon, and his mother was a housewife. Both parents were born in Mexico and had migrated to the United States 3 years before Jose was born. Jose had a younger sister who was a teacher and was married with two children.
For years after he had moved away from home, Jose lived alone in an apartment. However, for the past 3 years he had been living with a steady lover who was 2–3 years older, Caucasian, Catholic (as was Jose), and worked in the same profession (accounting).
When I saw Jose for the first time in the early 1990s, he appeared anxious, tense, worried, and very fearful. Jose's symptoms at the time of assessment included worries and fears about contracting HIV, a steady weight loss of about 25 pounds over the previous 6 months, difficulty in falling asleep, lack of concentration, tension, and fatigue. He was quite concerned about his steady weight loss, lack of concentration, sleep difficulties, and his feeling tired most of the time. He noted that his loss of weight and fatigue had started about 6 months earlier; the rest of his symptoms had developed over the previous 4–5 months and had become progressively worse during the past 3–4 months. It was around this time that Jose began to think that he might have become infected with the HIV virus.
Before living with his steady partner, Jose had been very conscientious in protecting himself during his homosexual encounters. However, after 1 year or so of steady living together, Jose and his partner saw no reason to protect themselves any longer, since they both had previously tested negative for HIV and were fully committed to each other.
Jose denied any history of psychiatric illness in his family or himself and also denied any history of surgical procedures or serious medical illness. He also denied any current drug use. During his high school years, he had occasionally experimented with marijuana while socializing with his peers. His drinking pattern was limited to occasional social gatherings. He described his childhood as a happy one, devoid of any substantial trauma or major negative events. He also denied any sexual abuse as a child.
Jose noted that even though he had lost about 25 pounds in the last 6 months, his appetite had not diminished. While he reported difficulties in falling asleep—it sometimes took up to 2 hours—he did not experience early morning wakening. He denied having crying spells or suicidal ideation. He also denied having hallucinatory experiences or delusions. He did not appear confused and was oriented to time, place, and person. Some cognitive difficulties were noted in that he initially had trouble subtracting seven from 100, but he was finally able to do so toward the end of the assessment interview after he was more relaxed and calm. He was able to think abstractly, and his recent memory and remote memory were intact. He recalled three objects after 5 minutes without difficulties; his judgment was good. He showed no loosening of associations, and neither ambivalence nor autism was detected, but he displayed an anxious mood. While he demonstrated very good insight, he also was demonstrating considerable denial vis-à-vis his situation and condition. His fund of knowledge was excellent, and he appeared to be quite intelligent and intellectually driven. He denied having phobias or experiencing panic attacks or obsessive-compulsive manifestations. He denied ever having problems with the law.
I thought that Jose was suffering from generalized anxiety disorder. I told him that I was willing to see him in individual therapy and that I would not be prescribing him any medications at that time. I also told him that it was more important that he have another HIV test. He was very concerned about confidentiality issues, potential problems at work, difficulties with his family, and relationship problems with his partner. He was also greatly concerned about his potential death. I provided him with understanding, empathic listening, active support, and extensive education, at a professional-peer level, about HIV and AIDS. I also referred him to an infectious disease specialist whom I knew well as a result of previous collaborations with HIV and AIDS cases. I told Jose that the infectious disease specialist would confidentially report the results of the HIV test to me and that I would personally report the results to Jose. I thought that the already developing doctor-patient relationship and therapeutic alliance would put me in a better position to communicate to him any possible untoward news.
At the next session, he addressed his concerns about disappointing his family vis-à-vis his homosexuality. He was the oldest child and only son. Throughout Jose's life his father had demonstrated high expectations for Jose: a good marriage, a nice wife, wonderful children, and a family-oriented life similar to his own. His mother also frequently told Jose that she wanted to have several grandchildren and live close to them during her golden years. These were some of the reasons Jose left home several years ago without ever telling his family about his homosexual orientation. Jose always thought that he could keep his real sexual identity hidden by living in a big city while occasionally visiting his family at home.
After two or three weekly sessions with Jose, I learned from the infectious disease specialist that two serial HIV tests had shown that Jose was HIV-positive. By that time, the therapeutic alliance with Jose had been well established, and he showed much trust in me. I told him about the results of the HIV tests, counseled him about it, discussed his treatment options and therapeutic plans, referred him back to the infectious disease specialist, and underlined the fact that I would continue to treat him as needed. By the end of the session, I noted that he was in many ways more calm and relaxed, as if he knew all along that he was, in fact, HIV-positive. I thought that perhaps what he had primarily needed was empathy while he confronted the realities of his situation.
During the next several sessions, Jose was both angry and disappointed with his partner. At times, he was numb; at other points he would express disbelief and anger at the whole world. During these times I listened empathetically and underlined the fact that we were all "human beings," each with our own strengths and weaknesses. Slowly, Jose began to accept his condition, his limitations, his realities, and his options. On two to three occasions I met with him and his partner and helped them settle ambivalent feelings and emotions. I also noted that despite the fact that his partner had infected Jose with HIV, they still cared a lot for each other. By this time his partner had also been retested for HIV, and the results had been positive. He had contracted HIV during an out-of-town business trip when he attended a party at a friend's apartment while under the "heavy" influence of cocaine. By this time, Jose and his partner were under the care of the infectious disease colleague for their HIV infection.
Somewhat later, Jose began to show a lot of guilt about his family and religion. Actually, he had slowly been developing a moderate major depressive episode, with symptoms of early morning wakening, depressed mood for most of the day, diminished interest for almost all daily activities, strong feelings of guilt and worthlessness, difficulties in concentrating, crying spells, and mild suicidal ideations but no definite plan of action. Up to then, I had been prescribing for him a regimen of oral lorazepam, 1 mg t.i.d., on an as-needed basis for treatment of his anxiety or insomnia. At this point, I added a regimen of oral bupropion, which I slowly titrated up to 300 mg/day. After 5–6 weeks, Jose's depression improved; I discontinued bupropion treatment after about 1 year, and Jose never showed any signs of relapse.
After close to 2 years of providing HIV treatment to Jose, the infectious disease specialist informed me that Jose was not responding well and that there were signs of deterioration in Jose's illness. Likewise, I also had begun to note that Jose was suffering from mild signs of memory impairment, some language disturbances, and mildly impaired judgment. When Jose was first given zidovudine, his HIV infection was quite advanced, since he had been infected for some time before the treatment began. In addition, zidovudine treatment resulted in severe bouts of nausea and headaches. These side effects led to periods of noncompliance that, in turn, worsened the HIV infection. This clinical deterioration required higher doses of zidovudine, which resulted in severe hematological reactions, primarily granulocytopenia. Later on, Jose received treatment with dideoxyinosine and dideoxycytidine, but both medications produced severe pancreatitis.
During this period, I focused Jose's treatment on family and work concerns. Jose felt that it was time to begin settling issues with his family and also time to go on medical leave from work. He expressed his desire that I be present when he told his parents about his sexual orientation and illness. I consented. I met with Jose, his father, and his mother in my office. It was a difficult moment for everyone involved, including myself. Jose's father showed complete denial and disbelief, even anger at Jose. His mother was devastated and in shock. I decided to see them both daily for several sessions, sometimes with Jose and sometimes without him. The treatment process was certainly not an easy one. In the beginning, the parents were thinking more about themselves than about Jose. At times I had to be mildly confrontational with them, since education and empathic listening were not enough to break their denial and resistance. Finally, they began to accept the reality of the situation and, eventually, started to provide emotional support for Jose. Later on, Jose's sister and her family were apprised of the situation; they were more understanding of Jose's major life challenges.
After 2–3 months, Jose began to think again about suicide. This time, however, the suicidal thoughts were more realistic in nature, more existential, and not at all related to any signs of depression. He also became more "spiritual," and the topics of religion, faith, and dying were openly addressed. By this time, Jose's partner was feeling very guilty, not only because he had infected Jose with HIV but also because Jose's illness was getting worse while his own illness had stabilized. At Jose's request, I saw both of them together on many occasions. During this time, I referred Jose to a self-help religious/spiritual HIV/AIDS group. He began to feel better and was more able to cope with the deterioration caused by his illness and the dying process.
A few months later, Jose developed Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia; he had to be hospitalized and almost died. A full-blown AIDS illness had developed. Upon his discharge from the hospital, Jose addressed his work situation in several of his therapy sessions. His cognitive functions were not getting any better. He proceeded to go on medical leave from work, which was then followed by a disability leave. At this point, I prescribed a regimen of oral methylphenidate, 30 mg/day, in consultation with and with the approval of the infectious disease specialist. Over the next several sessions, Jose's legal situation was addressed; obviously, it was time for Jose to put his legal affairs in order. A lawyer was consulted, life and disability insurance were reviewed, Jose's properties were inventoried, and a will was drafted and signed. Jose decided to leave part of his estate to his partner, the rest to his family.
A few months later, Jose's AIDS had worsened. It was difficult for him to be ambulatory. He was concerned about not being able to continue to come to see me for his therapy sessions. His concern and despair about the situation were quite clear. I told him that I would continue our therapy sessions at his home. He felt more relaxed when he heard that. During the home therapy sessions, death was discussed at length. By this time, denial, projection, and rationalization were no longer needed. Jose had slowly mastered his fate, his destiny. During one of the home therapy sessions, his parents were visiting him. At one point, Jose's father said that he had bought a family burial site, and that he and his wife wanted Jose to be buried there. Jose consented and said nothing else; he then looked at me and peacefully smiled; it was obvious to me that Jose had finally found peace within himself and about his own identity. During our next session, Jose asked me if I would attend his eventual funeral. I said I would.
About 2 months later, the infectious disease specialist told me that death was imminent for Jose and that Jose's partner and family had been informed. It was late in the afternoon, about 6:00 p.m., when I arrived at Jose's apartment. Jose's father was holding one of Jose's hands; Jose's partner was holding the other; Jose's mother was quietly praying in front of a picture of a Catholic saint in Jose's bedroom. I sat near her in a chair and reflected for a while on what it meant to live and to die with HIV and AIDS. About 1 hour later, Jose was dead.
Two days later, I attended a Catholic mass held in memory of Jose as well as his funeral, both of which were held in Jose's parents' town. While in church during the mass, Jose's father delivered a brief eulogy. In this eulogy, Jose's father said, "We are all, especially me, very proud of Jose's life; Jose lived in accordance to his principles and his identity. While dying, Jose achieved self-actualization. Because of it, he died in peace. Jose will always be an ideal role model for all of us."
I have presented the case of a Mexican American homosexual man who suffered from HIV and AIDS as an illustration of 1) the psychiatric aspects relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and AIDS, 2) the neuropsychiatric complications of HIV and AIDS and their management, and 3) the psychosocial implications associated with the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and AIDS.
With respect to the psychiatric aspects relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and AIDS, it is very important to recognize a series of issues and conditions that are likely to surface. For instance, it is imperative that a strong doctor-patient relationship and therapeutic alliance be established as soon as possible (1, 2). Without the trust and confidence that emanates from this therapeutic relationship, it is very difficult to ensure compliance and the much-needed continuity of care required by patients suffering from HIV and AIDS—or any potential fatal illness for that matter.
Anxiety disorders become very prominent among patients with HIV and AIDS (3–5). When the onset of these illnesses occurs, it is important to know not only the role of psychopharmacological agents (5, 6) but also of the role and relevancy of psychotherapeutic interventions (7, 8). In many ways, the psychotherapeutic interventions play a much bigger role when anxiety disorders are present among HIV and AIDS patients, as this case illustrated. Similarly, it is most important that the psychotherapeutic approaches be flexible enough to primarily address the needs of the patient rather than the training background, treatment philosophy, or type of practice of the therapist. In this respect, the type of illness, the medical and psychiatric complications, and psychosocial conditions should dictate the treatment approach.
Mood disorders are bound to develop in patients suffering from HIV and AIDS, given the frequency and severity of the stressors that these patients have to face during their illness (9, 10). When episodes of depression arise, they must be promptly and aggressively treated, preferably with an integrated approach that involves psychotherapeutic (3, 4) as well as psychopharmacological interventions (11, 12). Suicide, in particular, is a frequently observed phenomenon among patients suffering from HIV and AIDS (13–15). At times, as this case illustrated, suicide can be a symptom not only of depression but also of an existential condition related to life situations.
It is also important to underline the role of consultation-liaison psychiatry in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and AIDS (4, 16). In this case, the collaboration between the infectious disease specialist and the psychiatrist (myself) was essential in handling the HIV testing phase (complete with pre- and posttest counseling), ensuring the patient's medical and psychiatric compliance with treatment, and addressing the confidentiality issues, work-related factors, legal ramifications, and the dying phase of the illness.
Also illustrated in this case is the role of the use and abuse of substances in the mechanisms of contagion of HIV infection (17, 18). This type of contagion has become very prevalent in recent years. In fact, in 1998 the percentage of AIDS cases contaminated through intravenous drug use in the adult/adolescent population was 27% (19).
In the management of neuropsychiatric complications, several disorders and conditions are frequently observed among patients suffering from HIV and AIDS. Dementia (16, 20, 21) and delirium (20, 22) are the most common disorders or conditions seen in these patients. However, other neuropsychiatric conditions have also been observed, such as encephalitis, central nervous system infections and malignancies, Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphomas, vitamin deficiencies (e.g., B6, B12, or E), peripheral nervous system disorders, and other related neuropsychiatric conditions (20, 21).
At times, the treatment approaches for dementia and even depression require the utilization of psychostimulants, as this case illustrated (11, 23). In this regard, it is important to be aware that antidepressant agents with anticholinergic qualities can certainly make the dementia worse (21). The type of dementia observed in HIV and AIDS is of a subcortical nature (18). The neuropsychiatric manifestations are characterized as an acquired intellectual impairment that results in persisting deficits in areas such as memory, language, cognition, visuospatial skills, and personality changes (18). However, it is important to keep in mind that patients suffering from HIV and AIDS might also suffer from dementia that is unrelated to their illness.
Finally, psychosocial complications are rather common among patients suffering from HIV and AIDS (24, 25). It is, therefore, very important for psychiatric practitioners to be aware of and sensitive about them. Otherwise, lack of compliance, treatment failure, and frustration for both patients and practitioners are likely to occur. In this case, many psychosocial as well as cultural factors were clearly depicted, such as the role of "machismo" among certain cultural groups, particularly Hispanics, with its barriers vis-à-vis the understanding and acceptance of homosexual identity (9, 24). Another factor to consider is the difference between first and second migrant generations in the process and levels of acculturation (26). Even though this case has several cultural connotations, there is nothing in the case that is culture-bound. In other words, the psychosocial factors addressed in this case are relevant and applicable to patients suffering from HIV and AIDS from any ethnic or cultural group. Other factors to consider in the treatment of patients with HIV and AIDS include reactions related to the HIV-infected sexual partner's feelings of betrayal, such as anger and mistrust, as illustrated in this case.
As this case has shown, the need for counseling both before and after HIV testing is of utmost importance when addressing psychosocial concerns of patients with HIV and AIDS. Likewise, legal issues related to confidentiality, disability, life insurance, will and testament, and the like are all very important psychosocial factors that need to be addressed when treating HIV and AIDS patients or any potential terminally ill patient. In addition, the psychosocial underpinnings of learning about one's positive HIV test results—as well as the reactions of numbness, denial, anger, and, eventually, acceptance—were very well illustrated in this case. The impact of religion, particularly the Catholic religion, in the process of coping with HIV and AIDS was also well illustrated in this case. Furthermore, the beneficial role of spiritually oriented self-help groups needs to be underlined when treating HIV and AIDS patients (27). Work setting issues also need to be attended to when treating potentially disabling illnesses like HIV and AIDS. Finally, this case strikingly illustrates the very critical and, I should add, human needs of patients with HIV, AIDS, or any other potentially fatal illness for that matter: acceptance, support, stable continuity of care, treatment flexibility, and ongoing availability during the dying phase.
Treatment flexibility from a psychotherapeutic point of view was illustrated in this case with the provision of couples therapy, family therapy, and home visits. Along these lines, treating a terminally ill patient requires a full commitment to continuity of care. The treatment cannot stop after an episode of depression has lifted, after anxiety symptoms have subsided, when the patient is no longer ambulatory, or during the patient's dying phase. As this case illustrated, the treatment process can sometimes require our intervention even after the patient dies.
While the availability of antiretroviral and other useful medications for the treatment of HIV and AIDS was rather limited in the early 1990s, we are fortunate now in that there are much better treatment options for HIV and AIDS that can prolong life and also improve the quality of life. Still, there can be no doubt that psychiatric, neuropsychiatric, psychopharmacological, psychotherapeutic, psychosocial, and cultural aspects all play a major role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with HIV and AIDS. Therefore, it is most important for psychiatric practitioners to learn and to incorporate these clinically oriented aspects, particularly the psychosocial aspects, in their treatment armamentarium. This case illustration was written and published with this aim in mind.

One of the heads of Jason Russell's Invisible Children organization made a video after the charity won a $1 million grant ... in which he appears to be drunk and joking about keeping $900,000 for himself.
TMZ has obtained the clip ... featuring Jedidiah Jenkins, the Director of Ideology for the charity dedicated to hunting down African warlord Joseph Kony.
The footage appears to be shot in 2010 ... right after Invisible Children won the $1 million grand prize in the Chase Community Giving Facebook competition.
In the video, Jenkins is holding a handle of Smirnoff vodka ... and slurs to the camera, "I don't know if you heard this or not ... but we won a ... we won a million dollars so ... pretty rad."
After chugging from the bottle, Jenkins continues ... "a hundred thousand for Haiti and $900,000 in extra for me."
As for the Haiti reference ... the contest was held one week after the earthquake in Haiti and Invisible Children had promised to give $100k to Haitian relief efforts if they won the prize. We have no idea how the remaining $900,000 was spent.
A source connected to Invisible Children says the video is a joke that Jedidiah recorded and posted on a private YouTube page right after the group won the prize. We're told the bottle was filled with water, not vodka.
Invisible Children's rep has not responded to our calls for an official comment.
10:00 AM PDT -- Jenkins has finally commented on the video ... saying, "I was joking. It was made for my co-worker who was out of town when we won the prize."
Jenkins also says the Smifnoff bottle is filled with water ... not vodka ... explaining, "Who can drink that much Vodka? Definitely not me. I'd die. It's clearly water. I'm not gonna apologize for being a human that jokes with his friends."
KONY2012 execs are s*** bags.
I hope there is a special hell for these so called KONY2012 Execs 'scam artists" to burn in. Folks, you want to do something and donate? Go to your local charity and donate your time and some effort. Don't waste your time on these little boys that don't even have enough sense to not say idiot things like they have.
If, for a second, you think this is real, then you probably see TMZ as a news source. If you think that he is actually drunk, and serious, you're a complete idiot.
Thats why I don't give **** to charity.
This "exposé" is really quite shallow and silly. I did not realize that TMZ is so committed to "political correctness." The only way Jedediah Jenkins can persevere in this very broken and desperately needy world is to occasionally "spoof" himself and the great work to which he is so tirelessly dedicated. To any reader or viewer who "doesn't get it," I simply say that you must know (and love) Jed, the gravity of his work, the base of the pyramid who he so genuinely loves and serves, and his creativity and inimitable humor. I say that: "If you are not crying, you are not paying attention,... OR you are joining Jedediah Jenkins for an occasional, desperately needed break."
9 yr Old Captures, Nearly kills Kony
Boyle Heights, CA,--Like Saddam Hussein & that Osama Bin Laden guy, Kony has gone down. The Ranger Core apprehend and brought Kony to justice- at least temporarily. The plan was to bring him to the International Criminal Court, the ICC for trial on war crimes, we don't believe in killing anyone. But he escaped and turned a weapon on those that apprehended him. Sadly his evil counter parts Okot Odhiambo, Dominic Ongwen, Vincent Otti, also escaped just prior to Kony's capture., stated Aeylias Lopez of SSC.
Gaia, the 2nd in command of The Ranger Core, was in an all out fire fight and she managed to capture Joseph Kony who is #1 on the ICC most wanted list; 10,000 children have been abducted by the LRA to form the army of "prophet" Kony, whose aim is to take over Uganda and run it according to his vision of Christianity. The boys are turned into soldiers and the girls into sex slaves. Up to 1.5 million people in northern Uganda have been displaced because of the fighting and the fear that their children will be abducted.
Abd Al Rahman, Ahmad Harun, Omar al-Bashir, Bar Idriss Abu Garda, Ali Kushayb who are listed as #2 on the most wanted list are also being targeted by the Ranger Core. "We are determined to apprehend them all, said Fog the leader of the Ranger Core-"By the time we are done," added Speed a well known Ranger team mate, "--they are going to have to make a brand new list." In May 2007, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Harun, charging him with mass murder, rape, and other crimes. The Sudanese government has refused to hand him over to the Court. Sudan arrested Kushayb in October 2008. More than 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million have become refugees since the conflict in Darfur. Something long time advocate and human rights warrior George Clooney has pursued.
"We all have our eye on Bosco Ntaganda, Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui, Germain Katanga, Thomas Lubanga Dyilo-who are also listed as # 3 on the most wanted list," Added Fog.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo More than 2.5 million people are estimated to have died in the war, which raged from 1999 to 2003. Known as the "Terminator," Ntaganda also allegedly led the child soldiers in war. Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui was arrested in 2008 and charged with six counts of war crimes and three counts of crimes against humanity. His misdeeds include willful killing, inhumane treatment, using child soldiers, sexual slavery, and pillaging.
"We are going to bring them all to justice," announced Laser a long time Ranger Core teammate. -"-Kony and the rest of you can run--but you CAN'T hide, its simply a matter of time." He said firmly.
We are putting this all into the 3 Issue mini series titled 'THE RANGER CORE' to highlight the need to bring these criminals to justice in REAL life ,not just my book," say 9 Yr old Aeylias Ceo of Super Smash Comixsz. We are determined to shed light on these TRULY EVIL villains, which is the REAL point of this release. And the TRUE motivation for creating the book."
The RANGER CORE COMIC premieres JULY 16, 2012.

sounded like a joke-but LETS say its true--is Kony now NOT a war criminal? Lets get real now!

Guest post by Pete Whitney
Starting to work with any new technology or new API is always challenging at first. You're often not quite sure of the best ways to get things done or if you're are using the new technology in the most efficient manner. Furthermore, the early learning process is often littered with trial and error improvements that unfortunately take time to rework and reengineer into more optimal solutions. It sure would be nice if we could short circuit this learning process and simply arrive at nirvana on the first cut. While I won't proclaim that the destination of the blog is nirvana, I will try to short circuit the learning process by sharing four specific performance related tips that we learned at FireScope Inc. when we transitioned from MySQL to MongoDB for our improved cloud based Stratis product. This blog will share the shorthand version of these tips and point the reader to a more in depth rendering if further understanding is desired.
If you're an architectural or engineering firm, you've undoubtedly confronted the difficulty of managing and collaborating on 3D assets like CAD drawings. The act of sharing massive files is hard but feasible, but it is significantly complicated by the inability to determine that you're using the latest version. For the CAD-inclined, there's hope. Jozef Dobos, a doctoral student at University College London (UCL), has applied the geospatial indexing capabilities of MongoDB a version control system for 3D assets called 3D Repo. Sponsored by Arup Foresight, the built environment innovation division of Arup Group Limited, a global design and business consulting firm with offices in over 30 countries, 3D Repo leverages the flexibility of MongoDB's data model, not to mention its geospatial capabilities, to make collaboration on 3D assets easy.
On November 27, all 10gen supported drivers were updated with new error checking and reporting defaults. Each driver now has a MongoClient connection class to handle the error checking. On the same day there was also a server release with fixes on 2.2
Two times a year 10gen's Drivers and Innovations team gather together for a face to face meeting to work together and setting goals for the upcoming six months. This year the team broke up into teams for an evening hackathon. MongoQP, a query profiler, was one of the hacks presented by Jeremy Mikola, PHP Evangelist at 10gen.
Logging slow queries is essential for any database application, and MongoDB makes doing so relatively painless with its database profiler. Unfortunately, making sense of the system.profile collection and tying its contents back to your application requires a bit more effort. The heart of mongoqp (Mongo Query Profiler) is a bit of map/reduce JS that aggregates those queries by their BSON skeleton (i.e. keys preserved, but values removed). With queries reduced to their bare structure, any of their statistics can be aggregated, such as average query time, index scans, counts, etc.

The day Connecticut's bipartisan gun deal goes to lawmakers in the General Assembly, a new national poll shows 53 percent of Americans say it is more important to control gun violence than to protect gun rights.
The Morning Joe/Marist poll, released Wednesday, said 44 percent of Americans choose gun rights as more important, and 3 percent are unsure. Among gun owners alone, 63 percent choose gun rights, 34 percent choose gun-violence protection, and 3 percent are unsure, the poll found.
Also, according to the poll:
- 60 percent of Americans say laws governing gun sales should be stricter; 5 percent say less strict, 33 percent say leave them the way they are. (In January, a University of Connecticut/Hartford Courant poll showed that in Connecticut, 64 percent favored stricter gun sales laws, 5 percent said less strict, and 28 percent said they should be kept as they are.)
- 59 percent support laws that would ban the sale of assault weapons; 37 percent oppose, 4 percent are unsure.
- 87 percent want background checks for private gun sales and purchases made at gun shows; 12 percent oppose, 1 percent are unsure.
The poll, conducted March 25 to 27, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.

Thanks for making your website so easy to navigate around. When placing international orders it can be difficult but with Arena it was easy. Thanks again HJRM

Super service. Flowers were very well received and the perfume lasted for ages. Marion W
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay for delivery?
For many of our international countries standard delivery is available free of charge. However, some of the European countries do charge a delivery fee. Please select the country you want to send flowers to for more information.
Does Arena use its own flowers for international orders?
Sending flowers from the UK to the far-flung reaches of the world doesn't make sense, as it's not environmentally friendly. So we work with partner florists in your chosen country, which guarantees you get the freshest flowers and the speediest delivery. Our partner international florists are vetted and must meet exacting standards, so a high quality arrangement is assured.
Do the flowers look like the ones in the photos?
As far as possible, yes. However, each country has a different style of floristry and stem availability so the exact shape and style of the finished arrangement may vary slightly.
When will I know if my flowers have been delivered? Does Arena's usual tracking apply?
We will send the usual order confirmation notifications, once we know your flower delivery has taken place. Naturally, whilst we endeavour to be as prompt as possible, due to time differences and distance delivery, confirmations will not be quite as timely as those confirming delivery of our own bouquets in the UK.
Why are only a few countries available through your service?
We are able to organise flower delivery to most countries; if you call us on 0800 0350 581 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com we shall do our best to help you. We will be rolling out more countries for international flower delivery over time - if there's a particular country you'd like us to add, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

cookietookie asked: What is happening to our dearest Alcide ?!?!
Our dearest Alcide was alone in his hovel when Sookie walked past with her cat Dinner Roll. Dear Alcide greeted Sookie and her cat, who is not a great fan of the wolf. Nor is Sookie. She refused Alcide's tempting offer for a date (maybe next time put on some clothes and clean up the dirty fly-ridden tv dinner trays first, Alcide?) and that sent Alcide's already poor mood south to crazy town. The psychiatrist stopped by for another visit as Sookie and Dinner Roll left. Maybe this session will be more helpful than the last one.

Structures Lyrics - Abandon All Ships
Help me, I can't get out,
And I live my life not knowing what it's about,
Just stains of guilt on my mind;
Heaven's what I want to find.
This is now, that was then:
I want to be born again.
The darkness came,
The light fought through,
Mercy is all
I ask of you.
The darkness came,
The light fought through,
Mercy is all
I ask of you.
Father, Father,
sponsored linksplease set me free,
From my misery.
Father, Father,
please set me free,
From my misery.
I will be with you
In the beginning, I used to believe
That you were no saviour, but I was naive.
You were a stranger that I couldn't see.
Now I'm in danger; please set me free.
We've been told
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Pray for us, sinners now,
And at the hour of our death,
Save us.
Where would I be,
Without you standing next to me?
I am the lock and you are the key
Release me from my,
Release me from my

UPDATE: 'Supernatural' Stars Agree To Seasons 9 & 10
Filming of Supernatural season 8 may have just begun, but new showrunner Jeremy Carver is already looking beyond the Winchesters' upcoming adventures � how far? Season 10, to be exact.
Speaking with Carver at Comic-Con 2012, the former Supernatural writer and Being Human (Syfy) showrunner appears to have returned to his former series with a drive to keep evil at bay, at least for a few more years. Taking note from Supernatural series creator Eric Kripke's original intent for a 5-year arc , Carver revealed his overall plan of plotting out a story that will help him at least reach his goal of "the end of season 10" � a plan that begins this year, in season 8.

Fighting anxiety one step at a time
I've decided that I'm going to try and conquer one fear every day. As someone with anxiety issues, it's not finding enough fears that's the issue, but the tackling of them. Today it was the fear of handing out flyers. I feel like I've achieved something more than giving out 100ish leaflets, this is a good start.
You know when you're having a really bad day and you just don't want to do anything? I had one of those yesterday, but I felt a gentle nudging in my heart to go to Mass in the evening (I'd already been in the morning but not really put my heart into it). So I did, and as soon and we walked into the Cathedral I knew I was home. I love it when you walk into a Church and REALLY feel like you are in God's house.
Then we met a friend from home on the off-chance and had an awesome and enthusiastic conversation about faith and getting into outreach. Mass itself was so so powerful: the church was packed, the choir was so beautiful and the sermon was inspiring. I felt like I was surrounded by love, I was truly in my Father's arms. I'm pretty sure Ruth and I couldn't have left the Church with bigger smiles on our faces.
I am so glad that I listened to that little divine nudging that turned a bad day into an amazing evening. I need to learn to let God turn my life upside down more often, I'm too fond of being in control. I'm actually pretty excited about what God's going to do with my life this year. This is just the beginning.
Tonight I'm going to have a prayer night. I want to light candles and just be with Jesus. If you have intentions, drop them in my ask box (that's true always, not just tonight). Prayer is powerful and I love it.
1. "In the world, not of the world." It's awesome.
2. Free, clean water is a luxury.
3. The Catholic Church is alive: bruised, but not broken.
4. How to follow (instead of lead).
5. I can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens me.
6. I don't mind the heat as much as I thought. In fact, I kind of like the feeling of the warm sun on my skin. But I HATE humidity. Period.
7. People are the same, no matter where you are. (Especially moms.)
8. The body of CHRIST is beautiful - unified in suffering, unified in the spite of our differences.
9. Sangria; tinto y limon; bread with honey, EVOO & cinnamon = delish.
10. The language of love speaks to all hearts.
11. Dr. Pepper is not as essential to my survival as I thought.
12. Daily exercise is amazing.
13. Prayer is essential to my survival.
14. Someone else always has it worse than you.
15. Beauty for the sake of beauty is glorious.
16. I miss the theater.
17. Speaking multiple languages is necessary to better understand the hearts of people.
18. I don't dream big enough. I limit the LORD often. (Is. 55:9)
19. There is a HUGE need for a renewal of liturgical music.
20. I want to take choral conducting class.
21. I am not as detached from material things as I thought.
22. I do not like taking the metro.
23. In the routine of daily life (going from here to there), I often ignore strangers around me, instead of engaging them in conversation/smiling/etc.
24. The USA has a lot more influence on Europe than I ever knew.
25. JESUS loves me. More than I will ever know.
Well said Brea! 1, 3, 8, 10, 19 and 25 especially, although my favourite is 15 :)

Damian Nordmann Explains Tony's Dream About Pressurized Steam
This morning, our resident dream expert, Damian Nordmann from the School of Metaphysics, came in to help us explain what our dream mean.
Julie's sister is going through an ugly divorce. She recently had a dream where she is sitting on the curb on a couch that was in her husband's office. Her dog Pogo, that recently died, appears and jumps up in her lap. Then it's head falls off and the body begins to convulse. She starts screaming, and people around her start screaming.
Damian says: Animals in our dreams represent habits. A pet is a familiar habit, and it's head coming off represents the old habits dying, changing, or growing. It's an old way of thinking that is changing into something new.
Tony has a recurring element in his dreams. He'll be doing something normal like grocery shopping or visiting with friends when a cloud of steam begins rolling in. It's pressurized, and it feels like it's sucking the air out of the room. Tony has to escape to get fresh air.
Damian says: Breath is our sense of desire and our ability to fulfill our desire, and water is our conscious life experience. The water steam is something permeating Tony's experience throughout the day; there is more pressure is his life.
Check out what our listeners are dreaming and what Damian has to say about them!

Comments about Womens CW-X Xtra Support III Sports Bras:
After being stopped by a stranger who felt compelled to inform me that I needed a better sports bra, I decided to give this one a try. I mean, heck, they definitely know how to do compression right?! Also I measured to make sure I was getting the correct size. I'm still not sure I believe I'm a B cup (thought I was a C) but I went with it anyway. It's kind of hard to get it hooked in back, but once it's on it's fairly comfortable. One of the cons says "flattens bust". I'm not sure that's really a "con" when it comes to running. I pretty much hate every picture of myself running with the girls either on the upswing or the down! Anyways, this bra does its job better than any other I've tried and that's a lot. And I don't have to try to shield my chest as I run anymore!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best CW-X so far
By Sunday Runner
from Portland Maine
About Me Avid Athlete
Comments about Mens CW-X Revolution Fitted Tights:
Just got this new tight last week and I must say this is the best CW-X tight so far. I have been using CW-X tights for the past three years and this design is by far the lightest they have ever made. The material is also extremely comfortable to wear and has been great for early fall runs here in New England. The support in CW-X in the knee area and hips continues to be excellent. I can't run without these things any more. They are expensive, but they really do make a difference. I highly recommend these. Great for recovery after a long run as well. Their Stabilyx Tights are also good if these are too expensive.
I love them

Simonton Elementary School recently received the "High Flying School Award" - presented to schools in high-poverty communities that are also producing high-achieving students - for its work in closing the achievement gap, Gwinnett County Public Schools officials announced.Simonton was among four schools presented with the national honor at the "National Youth-At-Risk Conference" in Savannah earlier this month. While at the conference, a team from Simonton Elementary, including principal Dot Schoeller, participated in a panel discussion sharing the school's success story for making sure all children are learning to their full potential. The award honors schools based on the following categories: High academic achievement. The school ranks in its state at the 67th percentile or higher in at least one academic subject in at least one grade level. High poverty. The school's student population is comprised of at least 50 percent of students living at or below poverty level, as measured by students receiving lunch for free or for a reduced price. High minority population. The school's student population is comprised of 50 percent or more minority students, primarily black and Hispanic students. Community collaboration. The school demonstrates high levels of collaboration with community and/or universities in addressing youth-at-risk issues within the school and community. Citizenship development. The school provides extracurricular opportunities for students to develop citizenship skills. Democratic education. School curriculum includes objectives and activities related to the growth of students as individuals who are successful members of a democratic society. As part of the recognition, the school received a check for $1,500, which will be used to continue the initiatives that are helping Simonton Elementary produce successful students. Heather Darenberg writes about education. Good News From Schools appears in the Sunday edition of the Gwinnett Daily Post.

Crowdsourcing Ancient Egyptian Scrolls

An anonymous reader writes "Dons at Oxford University were on the BBC Radio 4 'Today' program this morning asking for help from listeners to transcribe unearthed ancient Egyptian texts and scrolls via their website. Visitors to the site are asked to match-up letters on scanned fragments of papyrus with an on-screen Greek alphabet. By doing so, they can help reveal some of the amazing documents that the ancient Egyptians last read. You too can become a papyrologist!"

Amazon Art just went live and blech. I just don't think people are going to spend this kind of money online. Maybe once for the novelty, but how do you control quality, what about color matching from the site to the print? I understand that not all of the available works are going for the price of a Chuck Close print, but even the lesser priced pieces I would be wary about.
Also, aesthetically speaking, there is no tangible line of thought or program going. It's actually unattractive to look at, not one thing makes me want to go through and actually look at the offerings. They announced they were going to do this earlier this year, if I remember correctly, and this is what they were able to put together? I know that Amazon isn't the most glamorous place to shop for, well anything, but if you're trying to go high end gallery-esque a little thought into the presentation would have made me feel a bit more valued as a consumer of presumably good taste.
Art.sy is never not annoying to me.
I know I know more than most, but this is really just…not interesting or informative. Maybe it's just me? Maybe I know too much? I guess that even if I didn't know anything about this, a lot of it is really common sense and the rest is so dull and poorly written I can't even get through it.
Noah Jashinski …and some days feel like a Goddard film.
I couldn't be more pleased to announce that as of right now I am selling this incredible photograph by Noah Jashinski on Hyde or Buy!
I met Noah when one of my favorite people (jerk) moved to NY and she had a going away party. I knew we would be fast friends and immediately got mad at said jerk for keeping him from me for so long. Besides being a Grade A solid human being and friend he's an incredibly talented photographer and I knew I had to have him! Luckily for me he agreed.
Great piece by Kyle Chayka on Hyperallergic about indie art e-commerce sites. Super stoked to have Hyde or Buy included!
While 20x200 is resting, may I encourage you to curl up with a nice cup of Hyde or Buy? All the deliciousness, none of the calories!
» Battle for the online art world!
Today these websites face two principal challenges to develop a brand and to create a sustainable business model. Branding has been complicated for all by the sudden rise of several companies with overlapping aims and market approaches. Within the last two years, the number of online art start-ups has shot up and now sits at well over 25. Unsurprisingly, the wider public may have difficulty distinguishing among the options. "It takes time on all these sites to figure out what's different," admits David Frankel, a partner at the venture capital fund Founder Collective, which has invested in the sites Art.sy, 20x200, and Paddle8.
A close look at seven of the best-funded, most innovative, and most intensely promoted art initiatives on the Internet today—Exhibition A, Art.sy, 1stdibs, Paddle8, 20x200, Artspace and VIP Art—reveals a variety of business models. Each seeks to capitalize on the dramatic globalization of the art market, which has developed significantly since an earlier generation of sites flopped a decade ago. "Some will make it and some won't," Frankel says. "At this point, we've spread our bets a little bit."
I was hoping for more battling. Jousting? Too much Game of Thrones?
» Oooh...this is what Paddle8 does...
If your view of Paddle8 is somewhat fuzzy, you probably aren't the only one. In our unscientific survey of people in the art world, most have heard of the site (and its elegant design), but few could put their finger on what its purpose was. Plenty of Web sites are trying to make a go of selling art online, and while Paddle8's site serves as an intersection for art buyers and sellers, online commerce isn't its real game. In reality, it is trying to capitalize on streamlining the less romantic services that make selling art difficult and expensive — shipping, handling, invoicing, billing, and insurance. It hopes to profit by offering reduced rates on these services to the many galleries that use its platform, thereby taking advantage of bulk discounts and making it cheaper for the art world to conduct the back end of its business. The company, in turn, takes a four percent commission on deals done through the site.
So are all y'all members of Saatchi Online yet? No? Why not?
Seriously, why not? I know everyone is on the 20x200 bandwagon, which is great, but this is better.* Are you an artist? Awesome! Start uploading your stuff so you can start selling ASAP. Looking for some affordable art that isn't cookie-cutter? Even better. There is an endless supplies of new artists doing some incredibly cutting edge work that is more than affordable** and cool.
Also, their mission is just amazing. Promoting all new artists, promoting new collectors, making new connections. It's inspiring really.
*Offense meant, it's true. Jen Beckman, step up your game.
** I found awesome prints for $17!!! That's incredible.

Whatever you may have gone through, a heartbreak, a loss, depression, constant sadness etc. Remember your personal power, you have it. Yes YOU. You CHOOSE to let it die. It can be reborn again and again and again. Just believe. Let nothing stand in your way. For real.
Its very hard to do this but I'm trying……
"Every woman encounters life experiences that cause stunted growth and damage. A stunting-growth experience, however, can be likened to the pruning of a plant. It can be a good thing. A damaging experience can lead to a remedy that makes growth and strength. That's also a good thing! We can choose to pursue positive outcome even if we're handed a huge negative. It's a little like growing a beautiful plant in a cracked pot. The flowers are no less fragrant!"
People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It's yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don't owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs."—Banksy, from Cut It Out (via myheadisweak, zaschell) (via ebullientefflorescence) (via rippedfuel) (via little-fighter)
