THURSDAY, Aug. 4 (HealthDay News) -- American military veterans
attending college are far more likely to entertain thoughts of
suicide than fellow students who have never been in the military, a
new national survey indicates.
Data from the poll paints a grave picture of these students'
mental health: Nearly half of all vets currently in higher
education say they have considered suicide at some point in their
lives, while one in five say they have actually made plans to go
through with it.
Such figures far exceed estimates of suicidal tendencies among
college students who have never been in the military, the research
team noted.
"The data suggest that the problems experienced by soldiers while on active duty don't end when they separate from the service," said study author David Rudd, of the National Center for Veterans Studies at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. "Rather, a large number of student veterans continue to experience significant problems, including post-traumatic stress symptoms and suicide risk."
"The reported rate of suicide attempts among student veterans was six times that of the general student population," Rudd noted, "and those reporting 'serious' suicidal thoughts -- those thinking about suicide with a plan -- was more than three times that of the general student population."
Rudd and his colleagues are slated to present their findings
Thursday at the American Psychological Association annual meeting
in Washington, D.C.
The 2011 survey by a national student veteran coalition known as
the Student Veterans of America drew responses from 525 veterans
currently enrolled in college.
About 80 percent of those polled were men, and the average age
of the respondents was 26. Roughly three-quarters were white (a
percentage that represents the actual racial background of today's
military), and nearly all had been deployed in either Iraq or
Afghanistan. And about 60 percent said they had been exposed to
actual combat in one or the other arena.
The results: 46 percent said they had considered suicide at some
point, and more than 10 percent said they had considered it quite
often. Nearly 8 percent said they had actually attempted suicide,
while almost 4 percent said they viewed an attempt as being likely
or very likely.
Underscoring the seriousness of the problem, the research team
pointed out that such figures suggest that the role that suicide
plays in the lives of student veterans is comparable to -- or
perhaps even more dire -- than the role it plays among the broader
pool of vets of all ages currently seeking mental health care in a
VA medical center setting.
Rudd and his associates also noted that the survey results are
particularly striking when compared with 2010 data complied by the
American College Health Association. This data indicated that among
the general college population, just 6 percent of enrolled students
said they had "seriously" considered suicide. The same data
revealed that a little more than 1 percent of non-vet students had
attempted suicide.
The survey results prompted the authors to advise that college
counselors and clinics to increase screening for trauma and
programs to cope with suicidal tendencies among students with a
military background.
"The importance of early and effective treatment cannot be overstated, as 8 percent of those reporting serious suicidal thoughts also reported severe post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms," said Rudd. "One of the primary worries is whether or not college campuses are adequately prepared to treat those struggling with combat-related trauma."
Mark Kaplan, a professor of community health with the school of
community health at Portland State University in Oregon, thinks
they are not.
"The transition from the military into civilian life is often quite difficult," he remarked. "Veterans come back and are faced with financial problems, family problems and intimate partner problems, in addition to the trauma they might have experienced while in the military. So, based on our own work I am convinced that the risk of dying by suicide is indeed higher among veterans, not only the youngest, but middle-aged veterans as well."
"This is a very complicated issue -- one of the most complex public health issues I have ever come across," Kaplan added. "And I think it's safe to say that I don't think we're really prepared yet to manage it well. Especially not in the context of colleges, which are absorbing many of these veterans into their classrooms. Clearly our mental health centers on campuses need to be doing a better job."
Because the research is being presented at a medical meeting, it
should be considered preliminary until published in a medical

"I have been mother to almost forty children in movies, but I always had a special place in my heart for little Natalie. She always called me Mamma Maureen and I called her Natasha… when Natalie and I shot the scenes in Macy's, we had to do them at night because the store was full of people doing their Christmas shopping during the day. Natalie loved this because it meant she was allowed to stay up late. I really enjoyed this time with Natalie. We loved to walk through the quiet, closed store and look at all the toys and girls' dresses and shoes. The day she died, I cried shamelessly." - Maureen O'Hara

Giant Anteater - Myrmecophaga tridactyla
The giant anteater is much bigger than illustrations make them seem - males can get up to 90 lbs and over 7 feet long.
Their tongues are "elastic", almost 2 feet long, coated in a sticky saliva, and anchored directly to their sternums, rather than the hyoid bone that anchors most mammalian tongues. They flick in and out almost 180 times per minute. As one might expect, they do not have teeth, but smash the ants against their palate before swallowing. Their stomachs are tough, but do not produce their own acid; they use the formic acid of the ants in order to digest.
Since the structure of termite mounds can be as tough as concrete in some places, the anteaters need strong, well-anchored claws to tear them open. These claws would get in the way while trotting through their environments, however, and as such, anteaters walk on their knuckles, much like the great apes.
Brehms Tierleben, Allgemeine Kunde des Tierreichs. Prof. Otto zur Strassen, 1912.
"The Smallest Anteater" (The Silky Anteater, Cyclopes didactylus dorsus)
This anteater is slow-moving and largely arboreal, much like their sloth cousins. However, they also have a partially prehensile tail, and eat, well, ants. Sometimes they also eat other insects that pass by them, but they don't produce chitinase, so they can't fully digest those bugs.

Q: Which food is your worst enemy right now?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 01-20-2013 - 6:37am
Let's see if this "edit" works this time... LOL
Right now Fasching (Mardi Gras) is being celebrated in Germany. My worst food enemy therefore is Fasching's Krapfen : alias decadent fresh jelly donuts!
I like most of them, and there are many kinds , lucky for me I don't care for cream filled donuts.
What food is your worst enemy right now?
|Fri, 01-25-2013 - 7:24am
Donna,,, oh darn,, you picked up on that detail didn't ya..... well darn! Yes I will admit that i'm a sugar addict... and soon will not be,, well let's face it, I will always be one so just have to take the bulls by the horns. I'm doing well with many sweets though, slowing eliminating them from my diet. ;O) Rome wasn't built in a day. LOL

|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 10:29pm
Thia...Me too with the chips, love them!! Before I got serious about dieting (lost 71 lbs last year and am in maintenance now), I used to buy a can of cheese Pringles every three months. Then I would eat the whole can that day. I don't want to get into that habit again even though it was only one can every 3 months. So, I don't buy them. I will eat them at other people's homes though.
That is odd about your hot flashes.
|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 10:26pm
Suzan, you have been in the process of ridding your kitchen of sweets ever since I've known you!! LOL!! Judging by your symptoms and by my own addiction, I'd say you are a sugar addict. It never ends, never ever goes away, but can be controlled. It's so annoying!! I never buy any unless we're having company. Then, if there's any left over when they've left, I eat all of it!! ::sigh::
|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 4:22pm
Oh I love chips. Not to terribly into sweets.
What is weird lately I find that food that is grain related, breads, chips, pasta, will make me have a hot flash.
Not a fan of hot flashes :(

Gail, I also have a terrible sweet tooth,,, i'm in the process of trying to rid my kitchen of sweets (candy, cookies etc). Low fat fruit yoghurt helps when I have a craving. I can get pretty jittery when I don#t have my sweets. I have heard though that if one starts out the day with a breakfast that doesn't include sweets (jam, jelly etc) then the cravings during the day won't be as bad. ;O)
|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 1:12am
Oh, yum, I love cream filled donuts!! My favorite is a Barvarian Creme or Bismark..same thing..with chocolate glaze. That's not an "enemy" food, though, as I very rarely buy them.
Peanut butter has been an enemy in recent weeks. PB isn't bad, but I was eating too much. I eat it by the rounded spoonful. I seem to have that under control now though.
Chips was an enemy, but I don't buy them anymore.
I guess I really don't have a food enemy at the moment. Now that I'll be starting into weightloss maintenance beginning tomorrow, I'll have to see what my enemies will be!

Late winter is the perfect time to take a closer look at tree bark and the beauty it adds to the winter landscape. Here in the Gardens, we have a stunning variety of trees clothed in ornamental bark. These are a few of the stunning specimens to be found on a winter walk through the gardens.

At McIntyre's Books, In Our Gardens
These trees in front of McIntyre's Books are Ilex verticillata, also known as winterberry. They - two females and a male pollinator - where planted when the bookstore was "planted" 24 years ago, and they are about as tall as you'll find anywhere. The clouds of red berries persist well into winter and often are eaten, over the course of a single day, by migrating cedar wax wings. We'll see them the next 3-6 weeks or so. Full Post >
In Our Gardens, The Fearrington House Inn
For winter, we fill our galvanized French flower buckets by the Fearrington House Inn entrance with cheerful small pansies and hardy ivies with very finely cut leaves. This year, we planted multi-hued Pandora's Box pansies; they are just awash in pastel-toned blooms combining all the radiant shades of a tropical sunrise and are the showiest to come along in quite a while! And we accent with an occasional Penny Primrose Bicolor or Penny Orchid viola. Full Post >

Pancreatic Cancer Health Center
FAQ: Steve Jobs' Pancreatic Cancer
Why Did Steve Jobs Have a Liver Transplant?
Although it's now known that Jobs received a liver transplant in Tennessee, it's not clear why. However, Levi says that a small number of patients with islet cell carcinoma may undergo liver transplant if their cancer has spread to the liver but does not appear to have spread elsewhere.
"A very small subset of patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors can be treated with liver transplant -- and this can be curative," Levi says.
It's not a procedure for people who may have cancer remaining in their bodies. That's because transplant patients must stay on immune-suppressing anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their lives. Without a functioning immune system, remaining cancer cells grow uncontrollably.
"The cancer can recur after liver transplant. When it does recur, it carries a pretty poor prognosis and ultimately is the cause of death," Levi says." We are limited in what we can do. The patient is immune suppressed. This usually means the cancer is aggressive, and once it recurs it usually is not curable."

Reasons To Hesitate On Zer01's Unlimited Mobile Offer
timothy posted more than 5 years ago | from the past-performance-no-guarantee-but-it's-a-big-hint dept.122
alphadogg writes with an excerpt from Network World that might save you some money: "Imagine downloading a two-hour HD movie in three minutes to your new cell phone, then plugging the phone into your TV to watch the film. Make unlimited phone calls, surf online as much as you like and send unlimited text messaging for $70 a month, without a contract. Sign up to sell the same service to other people and get $10 a month for each person you sell to. That's what a group of related companies including Zer01 Mobile, Buzzirk, Global Verge and Unified Technologies Group are promoting heavily online and at industry trade shows. The offer is attractive enough to garner coverage in top business and technology publications, at least one positive review from an analyst and even a 'best in show' award from a magazine at the CTIA wireless industry trade show earlier this year. Does it all sound too good to be true? If so, that's because it probably is. What little information is available about the services is technically inconsistent, and doesn't match up with public records."

I just ordered this board and it looks sweet. I ride park allot and this looks like a perfect board for this season. The only bad comment I have is the shipping. I ordered UPS ground, and took it around a week in a half to arrive according to the arrival date. And I could of gotten free shipping for the same arrival date which kinda pissed me off. But this board rocks.

Should judge accept plea deal in Paul Merhige case?
- 3:18 pm Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 by Opinion Staff
Just by the facts, it would seem that Paul Merhige's crimes justify the death penalty, at least if Florida is going to have a death penalty.
He killed four family members in 2009. He did so after Thanksgiving dinner. He tried to kill three others. He shot a 6-year-old, then returned to her room and shot her again.
But Merhige also has a history of mental illness, enough of a history that his lawyer was going to argue an insanity defense. So today, State Attorney Michael McAuliffe will propose a deal under which Merhige would plead guilty to four counts of murder [More]

Magician and co-host of Discovery channel's show 'Breaking Magic', Wayne Houchin, had a narrow escape after an incident at a talk show in the Dominica Republic. The host of 'Approach the Stars', Franklin Barazarte, doused Houchin with Aqua de Florida, a highly inflammable liquid substance. Houchin's head was instantly set on fire and it took the quick wit and reaction from the crew to save Houchin's face from getting burned.
While the incident caught on tape was not televised, here's the video of the bizarre encounter. Check it out and tell us what your reaction is.

Plan A
today's reading.
Psalms 140 Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men...
the blog.
Based on his descriptions, David's in a tough spot in Psalm 140. Even so, there's this total recognition that God is in control of it all. What a good example of complete reliance and trust in God. David's not looking anywhere else but to God for solutions. God is David's plan A.
So often our tendency is to jump in and take control and try to solve our problems ourselves. Then, when things get really bad, we turn to God. So how do we change that? What can you do (or what do you do) to make turning to God Plan A? Tami W.

Studies in Computational Intelligence #255: Inductive Inference for Large Scale Text Classification: Kernel Approaches and Techniquesby Catarina Silva
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Text classification is becoming a crucial task to analysts in different areas. In the last few decades, the production of textual documents in digital form has increased exponentially. Their applications range from web pages to scientific documents, including emails, news and books. Despite the widespread use of digital texts, handling them is inherently difficult - the large amount of data necessary to represent them and the subjectivity of classification complicate matters. This book gives a concise view on how to use kernel approaches for inductive inference in large scale text classification; it presents a series of new techniques to enhance, scale and distribute text classification tasks. It is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art of the whole field of text classification. Its purpose is less ambitious and more practical: to explain and illustrate some of the important methods used in this field, in particular kernel approaches and techniques.
This book explains and illustrates key methods in inductive inference in large scale text classification, especially kernel approaches. It covers a series of new techniques to enhance, scale and distribute text classification tasks.

Q: What is going through my husband's mind when I am using my breast pump right next to him on the couch when we're watching TV?
A: A lot of bizarre and conflicting things. When Karel was first introduced to the breast pump it was about three hours after the birth of our son, sometime around 1 AM. It was wheeled into the hospital room we were sharing. It looked like a piece of vintage farm equipment: After 52 hours of prodromal labor ending in a c-section and three hours of sleep, she woke up, took one look at the sinister-looking device, and started weeping uncontrollably. I'm ashamed to say I was just kinda curious to see how it worked. I'd like to tell you there is nothing sexy about a breast pump, but that's not entirely true. There is a complicated relationship between man and breast pump. Lemme give you a little snippet of what maybe going on in his head:
"Boobs are awesome. Wait, but not like that... well, kinda like that. Oh I'm a freak, stop looking. But it's hypnotic. But it's creepy: You're a creepy guy, she's just making the kid's dinner. But it's boobs and they're doing stuff. Freak. It's awesome; it's terrible. She knows I'm checking her out while she does it; that's why she's giving me a scowly face. She thinks I'm a creepy freak, too. Just focus on watching Games of Thrones Be like Jon Snow, be like Jon Snow. Jon Snow wouldn't be attracted to a breast pump session. Winter is coming. Boobs."

We analyze players based on how well their opponent defends that position and other factors such as statistical trends, playing-time potential and the talent level of the players and the teams involved.
5-Star Players
LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles. McCoy should have success even with rookie Nick Foles under center. He had 11 carries for 67 yards, including a 23-yard run, when Foles took over last week. McCoy likely will get a few more check-downs in the passing game, too. The Eagles' patchwork offensive line is a concern, but McCoy will get enough touches to be successful. McCoy is a RB1.

Windows 7
Checking my updates?
Alright, so I know you can check Windows updates through system & security, and that tells me I have all my updates.
However, ESET nod 32 suddenly decided to tell me when I logged on that I was missing some important updates (ActiveX killbit and some other I don't remember, but some were critical/important). I clicked OK and now it says I have everything, but I didn't see anything install/download and the computer didn't require a restart... (which i find odd if some of them were critical/important).
So I was wondering if there is some other way to check if I have the important updates for Windows 7 other than the built in "Windows update tool in System & Security", just incase that tool is not detecting missing updates for some reason...
P.S. for some reason 6 of the language packs won't install =( they start too and then it stops and says an unknown error occurred. I'm confused about it because all the other language packs installed perfectly...

text: With the news about the Dallas Cowboys receiving three seventh-round compensatory picks, Dallas could very well select a running back in this year's draft to complement DeMarco Murray. While Murray had his best season last year, there are plenty of long-term concerns over his ability to stay on the football field. The Cowboys drafted Joseph Randle in 2013, but he is a small back who is also extremely slow for the position. In this article, I will name five late-round running backs who the Cowboys could target at the end of this year's draft.

Swiss Red Cross cuts blood supply to broke Greece
Thursday - 2/28/2013, 12:10am EST
Associated Press
BERLIN (AP) -- The Swiss Red Cross is slashing its supply of donor blood to Greece because the financially stricken country has failed to pay its bills on time, the head of the group's transfusion service said Tuesday.
Rudolf Schwabe confirmed Swiss media reports that Greece had run up debts of several million Swiss francs (dollars) in the past. While those debts have since been repaid, the nonprofit SRC has decided to halve its blood shipments to Greece in the coming years in order to limit its financial risk, he said.
Greece's international creditors have demanded the government cut spending on pharmaceutical products as part of bailout agreements.
The Swiss blood sent to Greece comes from unused emergency stockpiles and is designated for humanitarian use. In the past, the SRC charged Greece 5 million Swiss francs ($5.4 million) to cover its costs for supplying 28,000 blood packets a year.
The Swiss blood shipped to Greece helps meet demand from the country's thalassemia sufferers. An estimated 3,000 people in Greece with a severe form of this genetic disorder -- also known as Mediterranean anemia -- need regular transfusions amounting to some 130,000 packets a year.
"That's why we had long talks with the Greek Health Ministry," Schwabe said. The Swiss will gradually reduce their shipments to Greece to 14,000 packets a year by 2020, while at the same time providing the country with expertise to develop its own blood donor system, he said. "That way there will be no humanitarian problem."
Greek Health Ministry officials insisted that Greece had always fulfilled its side of the deal with the Swiss, and the reduction of imports was part of a plan to boost domestic donations, which currently amount to some 670,000 packets every year.

Google and HP suspend Chromebook 11 sales over faulty charger claims
Yesterday I reported on breaking news that Google and HP ordered the immediate suspension and shipping of all Chromebook 11 models in the US. The news was first broke by The Verge who received a tip from an insider at Best Buy, which ordered all of its stores to cease all Chromebook 11 sales and shipments immediately.
Today we are learning just what caused the Chromebook 11 sales to stop so abruptly. Yesterday Google and HP made a joint decision to pull the $279 Chromebook from retail shelves after it began receiving reports of the devices charging brick overheating. Google and HP have launched an investigation into the issue and are working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission to identify the best way to correct the faulty chargers. Google and HP will issue a statement and contact customers when a solution is found.
Best Buy and all other Chromebook 11 retailers abruptly halt sales
HP and Google's new Chromebook 11 was promised to be this holiday seasons biggest notebook seller, but things are not looking to good for the $279 Chrome OS laptop. Today The Verge received a tip from a Best Buy insider who says that Best Buy corporate offices have sent urgent memos to store managers to stop selling the Chromebook 11.
"Stores should stop selling the HP Chromebook 11 effective immediately," reads an internal memo to Best Buy managers. "Partner with Sales Support to pull the product off the sales floor to a secure location in the warehouse." Since the memo went out, Best Buy has removed the Chromebook 11 from its website. Amazon, HP, and Google have also all listed the device as being out of stock on their websites as well.
At the moment it is unclear as to why sales and shipments of the devices have been suspended, and other than speculation about lower than expected stock levels, no other explanation has been poised by analyst. Amazon does list the item as being unavailable because "customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here." I have reached out to Google, HP, and Best Buy for comments and will report back when they reply.

Apple issues recall on 2012 MacBook Air notebooks due to SSD failure
Today Apple issued a recall on all MacBook Air models sold between June 2012 and June 2013 that have a 64GB or 128GB SSD inside.

To see if your drive may be affected, go to the Mac App Store, click on Updates and choose the MacBook Air Flash Storage Firmware Update 1.1. The firmware update will test your drive to see if it is affected.

Marie Antoinette - (1755-1793)
Archduchess of Austria and the queen of France. Married to Louis Auguste, Dauphin of France, she assumed the title of queen of France when her husband ascended the throne to become Louis the XVI in 1774. Initially charmed by her personality and beauty, the French people generally came to dislike her as tensions mounted in the years leading up to the revolution. She was viewed as the epitome of the bourgeois and as the gap between the rich and the poor widened, her lavishness was viewed with increasing hostility. Nine months after events in the French Revolution reached an alarming peak and the royal family was imprisoned at temple prison, Marie Antoinette was convicted of treason and executed by guillotine on October 16, 1793.
Bradley Platz' intricate oil paintings deal with the alternating nature of worship in the modern age. Using classical symbolic imagery from old world traditions and transposing subtle hints of modernity, his work might best be described as tarnished elegance. Ever present also are certain whimsical and subtle symbols that carry the viewer through his body of work as a reader through a story, or a craft on the sea.
