Fic: Scars We Wear Clint/Darcy FRM (1/1)
Clint didn't have time to think about what happened to him when Captain America told them to suit up. He just grabbed his bow and ran into the fray. This was something he knew how to do. Take down the enemy, don't think, fight. It wasn't until afterwards, until they'd had their schwarma, until they'd made their way back to Stark's broken down tower and Fury's set a debrief for the next day that Clint even dared to have thoughts about what happened to him, to Coulson.
He woke up the next morning, choking on a breath, sweat pouring down his face. He rarely dreamed but this was a bad one. Faces that he couldn't focus on now, bodies falling with arrows in them. The laugh of a false god. He shook it off and went to the debrief. Fury offered him the services of a SHIELD psychologist.
"No, I'll be fine, just need a few days to heal up. I need to get back in the field."
Fury looked like he wanted to debate, so does Nat, but they said nothing. Clint got through the rest of the meeting with a vague unsettled feeling. He headed for the training room, needing to get his hands on his bow. You can only be the world's greatest marksman with practice. He remembered wrapping tiny hands around a specially made bow, fingers bleeding as calluses formed, grudging praise the first time he hit the bull's-eye followed by a command of "again".
As he reached for the weapon, he ignored the prickles along his skin. His hand touched the smooth metal and began to tremble. He broke out in a cold sweat. He reasoned with himself that he's tired. He can practice tomorrow. He helped save the world; he can take a day off.
The next day was spent welcoming Jane and Darcy into the fold. Darcy saw the footage and showed Jane who was super pissed off no one told her Thor was back. Darcy sidled up to Clint and smiled as Jane chewed Fury out.
"Miss me, soldier?"
He grinned. "Yeah, saving the world just wasn't the same without your sarcastic commentary."
They'd almost had a thing back in New Mexico. Maybe they could pick up where they left off now she was in New York. He took her to lunch, telling himself he'd go and practice after that. Lunch was great, ending with a chaste kiss and a promise to meet for dinner. Clint sauntered off to the training room, a grin on his face. The grin slowly faded as he approached the room. This time he actually managed to get his bow off the rack and began reaching for his quiver when his stomach recoiled. He barely made it to the bathroom across the hall. Natasha was standing there when he came out.
"Must have been something I ate," he said, trying to give her a sheepish look. She just stared at him. "What?"
"Clint, you know you can talk to me."
"About what? Really, something I ate."
They stared for a while before Nat nodded and left.
He and Darcy didn't go far for dinner. Just a small out of the way Italian place where the owner knew Clint and treated them well. The conversations consisted of catching up, though he actively avoided any mention of Loki. They walked home, her arm linked with his. He insisted on going with her right to her door.
"You know you don't have to," she said with a smile.
"I do," he said as they waited for the elevator. "Rogers isn't the only gentleman around here you know."
Darcy shook her head. "I can't believe you know Captain America. Our lives….."
He grinned and followed her into the elevator. Darcy sidled up next to him, leaning into him as they rode up.
"Thanks for a great dinner. We should do this again."
"Yes, we should. Darce…." Before he could say anything else, she pulled him down for a not so chaste kiss.
He backed her against the wall, ravaging her mouth, hands caressing her waist. She ran her fingers through his hair, whimpering as he lifted her up and moved her into the corner of the elevator. He had one hand on her ass, the other moving up under her shirt, fingers teasing along her ribs. Then Darcy pulled back, panting.
"Whoa, soldier, hold on."
Clint stopped, lowering her to the floor. "Darcy, I'm…I don't…."
"Look, I know it's probably been longer for you than me, and don't get me wrong I really do want what you're offering, but I like you, Clint. Really, really like you and I kind of don't want to ruin whatever this is that we've started."
"You're right," he said. The elevator dinged. "Your floor."
"No, let's go to yours."
He stared at her, confused. She laughed.
"We don't have to do anything but sleep. I'll get more if I'm somewhere other than this floor. Jane and Thor," she reminded him.
He grinned. "I see. I'm a few floors up."
Clint woke in the night to her clutching his arm, making soothing noises at him.
"Wanna talk about it?"
He took a deep breath, relaxing against her touch. "Not right now," he said.
"I heard about Phil, I'm sorry."
"He…he died fighting. That's something."
"Is there a memorial or something? I'd like to be there."
"Day after tomorrow. Tomorrow we send his killer home."
"Jane's not going to like Thor leaving like that, right after he came back."
"Someone's got to take Loki back. Anyway, judging from the noises I heard yesterday, she's got plenty of incentive to keep working on her research to get him back."
Darcy rolled her eyes. "Don't remind me, I nearly walked in on that. Talk about your major trauma." She pulled him down, cuddling close. "Come on, I need sleep if I have to deal with moping Jane in the morning."
Clint kissed her head and lay there as she fell asleep. He kept trying to remember what woke him, but Darcy's warmth lured him into sleep.
The second Loki and Thor disappeared into the ethos, Clint's phone rang. He nodded to Tasha who went with Steve, grinning as Bruce went off with Tony.
"Fury's office. ASAP," Hill said without preamble.
She hung up without an answer. Clint frowned wondering what the director could want with him, other than a mountain of paperwork filled out that he was going to cajole Darcy into helping him with. He called Tasha, making sure she didn't need the car they'd both taken to the site.
He was back at HQ in ten minutes. Fury motioned him in while still on the phone. Clint stood at rest waiting to see what was going on. Fury hung up and fixed a glare at him. Clint shifted subtly, standing straighter and shifting his gaze to the wall behind Fury.
"What the hell am I going to do with you, Barton?"
"Did you think no one would notice?" Clint tried to answer, but Fury went on. "Agent Romanov is worried about you. As are others. I've had the psychologist watching you. She seems to think you might be suffering some PTSD."
"Sir, I'm fine, I just need to get back into the field."
"Not going to happen, Barton. I've seen the footage myself. You can't touch that bow of yours without going paler than Rogers's ass. You will report to her office at fourteen-thirty this afternoon. Understood?"
"Yes, sir," he said, bristling at the order.
"Dismissed," Fury said, waving a hand and turning his attention to the pile of folders on his desk.
Clint nodded and walked out before swearing under his breath. It wasn't that he didn't believe in shrinks, he'd been to a few after missions. They'd helped him but this time….he just couldn't talk about it to some…some…stranger. What he'd done, the lives….. He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the racing of his heart. He glanced up at a clock, lunchtime. He'd go see Darcy before his appointment. Being with her always made him feel better.
"You know that anything you tell me will be kept in the strictest confidence Agent Barton," the shrink, call me Angie, said.
"Unless it pertains to national security or ongoing investigations," he replied. "I've read the SHIELD manual."
Angie sighed. "Yes unless something comes up like that. I know that what happened with Loki very well might fall under those conditions. But talking about it will still help."
Clint had spent all of the session giving monosyllabic answers when he answered at all. Two more minutes and he was out of there.
"Fury won't clear you for duty until he gets my say so. So either you can talk, or you can be silent. But you won't be going out until I'm satisfied that you're able to function normally again."
Clint glared. There was no way Fury would hold him back from Avengers missions. He was too important to the team. The clock ticked loudly until the big hand swooped up to the twelve. He just got up and left, leaving Angie sputtering at him. He headed for his room, he had a date with Darcy to get ready for.
He was surprised when he opened his door and found her standing there. Even more so when she leveled a punch at his arm.
"OW! What the fuck was that for?"
"For not telling me that you were having problems. Like can't function as an Avenger problems! I had to hear from Tony that you were seeing a doctor! TONY! You can tell some fancy pants PhD your problems but not me?!?!?"
"Actually, I didn't tell her anything," he said quietly, rubbing his arm. "You got some power in that arm, Darce."
"I've been sparring with Natasha."
"It shows."
"No getting off the subject. You seriously didn't tell her anything?"
"I just…couldn't," he said.
"Have you even cried for Phil?"
He tried to answer but it felt like something was stuck in his throat.
"Fine, forget the date," she said. She pulled him over to his bed. "You and I are going to stay in. This is a safe space. I made JARVIS turn off all the cameras. You need to cry for him, Clint. He was your friend."
He shook his head, wanting to tell her no, but he could already feel the first tear slipping down his cheek.
"Shhh, it's okay, let it all out," she said.
He shook with silent sobs as he let out the pain of Phil's death, the guilt he had because he'd led the attack. Darcy rocked him, crooning nonsense words and stroking his back. She kissed his forehead, speaking softly to him as the tears eased off. Sleep claimed him as she soothed his aches.
"Yes, Miss Lewis, what can I do for you?" Fury asked.
Clint was standing there with her, wondering what the hell she was up to. He tried to ask her earlier but she gave him a glare that rivaled the man in front of them now.
"Clint's not seeing that psychologist anymore."
That got Fury's attention. He looked up from the file he was reading to stare at the both of them. Clint was at attention, but Darcy just stared back.
"Miss Lewis, you don't have the authority to tell me what my agents will and won't be doing. He'll see her until she clears him for duty."
"As if. He sat there for the whole hour and said nothing. Then he came to me and cried his fucking eyes out over his friend and handler. Can she hold him and tell him it wasn't his fault. Can she offer him the kind of support he needs? Can she tell him things will get better and that he's going to be a better man for having something to fight for? Will she fucking tell him she loves him?"
Clint relaxed and turned to her. "You love me?"
"Men," she sighed. "I wouldn't have done that for just anyone, Clint. You need to have someone there who understands loss. And not just from a professional level." She turned back to Fury. "He doesn't need the psychobabble and technical terms. Clint here is a tactile kind of guy. Let me work with him."
Fury seemed to think about that. Clint couldn't get past Darcy's declaration. Finally Fury nodded.
"Very well, but on your own time, Lewis. You're still looking after Doctor Foster and we're thinking of adding Banner to your schedule too."
"I think I can handle two scientists and therapy for a secret agent."
"You have a month, Lewis, if he's not good for field work by then he goes back."
"Deal," Darcy said, holding out her hand. Fury shook it.
"Don't forget to fill out the appropriate forms, Barton," he said as way of dismissal.
"SHIELD has them for everything," Clint said, guiding her out of Fury's office. "So, you love me?"
Darcy rolled her eyes. "Not exactly the way I wanted that fact to come out, but yes, I do."
"Good, because I might just be in love with you too."
Her smile was the brightest and widest he's seen in forever. "Great. I have to go check on Jane, but later we can talk some more."
"I think we can do more than talk."
Darcy just smiled and kissed him on the cheek before leaving him to his own devices.
They spent the next couple of days talking and doing…other things. Somehow on the third day he found himself in the training room with her. There'd been something about lessons and how the hell could she keep up with him if she didn't know how to shoot a bow? Her hands were picking up the bow and quiver and he felt nothing. No tingles, no cold, no queasiness.
Then he was standing behind her, his hands over hers as she drew back the string, loosing the arrow. Darcy may have tackled him to the mat when she hit the bulls' eye. Next thing she was shoving the bow into his hands, demanding he show her some trick shots. He grabbed arrow after arrow, pulling out every single trick he knew without the specialized quiver and arrows SHIELD had designed for him.
"Way to go, Clint," Darcy shouted when he was done. The quiver was empty and he was breathing hard from exertion. But there hadn't been a single sign of trauma. "I don't think Fury can argue with that."
He grinned at her. "I fucking love you," he said.
"Yeah," he said. "Care to celebrate?"
"First one to the room loses their pants!"
It was a tie.

It is increasingly clear that the economy has forced enterprises to rethink their traditional cost models and minimize their capital expenditures in favor of pay-as-you-go models; accordingly cloud computing, in any of its forms (internal, external, hybrid) is here to stay.
The size of data sets continues to grow exponentially and once data leaves a client's data centers, the ability of a cloud provider to meet the client's security, privacy and compliance requirements becomes a key issue.
This is where Unisys, with its recently announced four-part cloud computing strategy, comes in.
In an interview this week with SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal, Rich Marcello - President, Unisys Systems & Technology - described how the company is delivering on the first two parts this year beginning with its Cloud Transformation Services, announced June 30, followed by the Unisys Secure Cloud Solution which will become available on July 31.
Here's how Marcello summarized what Unisys is doing right now:
"A lot of vendors talk security in the cloud but we've tackled this issue head-on and believe we have an advantage. Security is inherent in all Unisys operations and offerings and, like Data Center Transformation and Outsourcing, is one of Unisys four key areas of strength.
We address security by ensuring operational excellence. Unisys Secure Cloud services teams operate ISO 20000-certified delivery processes that are ITIL V3-compliant. All of this protection is delivered in independently audited and ISO 270001-certified delivery centers. We utilize security best practices - a layered multi-vendor approach to security with Intrusion Detection and Prevention Services (IDPS), firewall management, 24x7 security monitoring, advanced correlation and analytics, auditable logs, and so forth.
From a cloud perspective, our commitment is to provide a security framework that is as good as or better than any clients could establish for themselves. We do all of this and more with the addition of our patent-pending Stealth technology that allows private communities of interest based on FIPS 140-2, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and cloaks the data with proprietary 'bit splitting'."
That "Stealth technology" Marcello referred to allows different groups in a multi-tenant client environment to share the same IT infrastructure without fear of exposing one client's data to another, Marcello pointed out, making it an important differentiator.
Dr Michael A. Salsburg, a Unisys Distinguished Engineer who has published and presented over 60 papers internationally in the fields of infrastructure and business service modeling, management and optimization, recently wrote a whitepaper titled "The Perfect Storm for Enterprise-Class Clouds" which also referred to security based on Stealth, as follows:
"For data-in-motion (data that is transmitted through the cloud network), Stealth not only provides a higher level of encryption than the standard approach (which is called Secure Socket Layer or SSL), but it also breaks apart the information into multiple streams. In this way, if another user of the cloud was monitoring the communication, that user would not only have to decrypt the stream but would also have to find the other streams that are part of the original message.
The term "Stealth" refers to the fact that, once a customer is "Stealthed" within its own community of interest, the actual existence of the communication path cannot be discovered by observers outside that community of interest. For data-at-rest, such as data stored on disk, the same techniques apply. The data is split into multiple stripes, and each stripe is encrypted. For both data-in-motion and data-at-rest, Stealth provides a new level of security and isolation that does not require changes to the application or hardware. Its simplified approach to isolation ensures that other communities of interest cannot detect that the data path exists, thus mitigating many of the requirements for network-based isolation through virtual LANs and other current techniques."
Salsburg's current focus within Unisys is the realization of real-time infrastructure management. Marcello noted, in the interview already quoted, that virtualization and automation are fundamental to cloud computing and for Unisys. "Our Real-Time Infrastructure technology powers our cloud," Marcello told Cloud Computing Journal's Jeremy Geelan.
"Virtualization is an enabler that helps us supply only the needed amount of IT resources based on the workload demand of the business at any given time. Automation adds elasticity to the environment, reduces the time needed for changes, and eliminates or at least simplifies the manual intervention in a potentially rapidly changing environment," he continued.
The whitepaper written by Salsburg ends with a useful vision statement which is worth quoting in full:
"Over the last 60 years Unisys has had the vision to develop and utilize new technologies and services for the benefit of the industry and our customers. Our mainframe systems have been using virtualization and automation technologies for over 20 years. We have taken the deep engineering capabilities in delivering highly available, high transaction systems with complex workloads and applied them to the evolving and consolidating marketplace.
Our ability to deliver RTEs and RTIs whether in-sourced or outsourced helps us provide the perfect platform for the emerging "cloud computing" environment. Our mission is to provide customers with the most open, cost effective and secure IT service environment by helping them understand, plan, implement and manage their IT infrastructure their way. Unisys is uniquely positioned to provide cloud computing that is secure enough and scalable enough for enterprise-class computing."
Marcello said on June 30 when the Unisys portfolio of solutions was announced that Unisys clients, while seeing great value in moving enterprise applications and data to the cloud, felt they had lacked the comprehensive security to make them confident in actually doing so.
Security, Marcello stressed, is in the DNA of Unisys, just as data center transformation and application modernization are its heritage.
Outsourcing services tailored to the client's specific business needs is a Unisys forté, he noted. "Our cloud computing strategy draws on all those core capabilities to help clients break through the barriers to adoption and gain a full range of options for cloud services while safeguarding their operations and lowering IT costs," Marcello said.
When asked by Cloud Computing Journal how an IT manager should decide if cloud computing is right for their business and which workloads to move, Marcello replied that it is really about understanding what makes the most business sense for the client and what they are trying to accomplish, adding:
"As part of the June 30th announcement, we have Unisys Cloud Transformation Services, available now, which allow clients to plan and migrate to the type of cloud environment that best meets their business goals. These services help clients assess what application workloads can be moved to the cloud, how that can be done, and the technology, financial and security implications of their choices."
Salsburg summarized those services in his whitepaper as follows:
"The services start with an assessment where the target data center is evaluated to discover workloads that could benefit from cloud computing. Once they are discovered, the software and storage requirements are evaluated regarding a shift into the cloud. Unisys does not require that applications be re-factored or rewritten.
The assessment services produce deliverables that lay out a low-risk plan to transform from the current state to a future state where the workload can take advantage of the key cloud attributes. Because no changes are required to the workload, there are no unique APIs to lock in the workload. With the Unisys Secure Cloud, you can receive customized services where your unique requirements and computing approach are retained."
Over the next several months, Unisys intends to launch additional solutions that give clients enhanced options in implementing cloud services.
Unisys plans a "cloud-in-a-box" solution as a comprehensive IT infrastructure package, aimed at enabling what it calls "quick and cost-effective implementation of a private cloud." This solution will include virtualization capabilities, automation of ITIL best practices for service management, and Unisys Converged Remote Infrastructure Management capabilities, with Unisys Stealth solution ("as an option for extreme security," the company says).
Unisys also plans to deliver "hybrid" cloud technologies that provide what it believes is the best of managed and dedicated services by combining public and private cloud capabilities.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

"I wished I would have known the the cost for sending it would be more than sending a regular 4 x 6. The quality is great and I love the option for adding text or pictures on the back too!"
"What an amazing product. I have gotten more phone calls and emails asking where I got my son's birth announcements. They turned out just like they showed on the previews. VERY fast service and a great product. Also very easy to edit and add your information to the card. I would highly recommend them."
"This was the perfect announcement for us! What attracted me initially was the simple design and the smaller size. The symmetry of the square with room for 2 different photos made it very pleasing to the eye. The quality of the pictures was very clear! The blue vintage pattern blended nicely with the baby boy pictures and provided a nice backdrop to the print. I also added a black and white photo to the back! I was VERY pleased with the end result. Family and friends just loved it!!"
"I love this design. Nikki in customer service pulled the blue border off the design for me so it would be more neutral (I'm trying to stay away from too much blue and pink). It turned out beautiful!"
"I loved this announcement for it's simplicity, allowing my baby to be the main focus. The text and text box are elegant and clear without being feminine or trendy."

Why Can't He Learn? The Feingold Diet updated for ... Editorial Reviews: SynopsisThis book is a simple guide to DIET change. You can see by reading the reviews there are many opinions about ADHD. Some will have you believe that it is a DISEASE and only MEDS can HELP!! The BOTTOM LINE is the FACT!!! DHA in the brain is critical for OPTIMAL BRAIN function. If you do not want to change you or your families diet do not PURCHASE the book. TRANS FAT interupts the creation of DHA, if for example you or your child eat peanut butter with TRANS fat, you will have long term challenges. Some have a problem with a NATURAL APPROACH, let me tell if meds were the answer you would not see so many looking for NATURAL options. Why a CHIROPRACTOR? The body works by nervous system function, when there is interuption in this communication like a USB port being disconnected the body will not function optimally. There is a chapter on spinal function, you will be amazed by what you will learn. Dr. Bob's approach is simple, create the platform to create DHA by feeding the body correct nutrients, eliminating sugar for some, trans fat for others, dairy can be an issue. It is not uncommn for ADHD children to have ADHD parents. I know the book will make a difference. Write down what you and or your child eats, look at the labels; if you see a pattern of trans fat or partially hydrogenated oils you would be very wise to get the book and make changes.

Ed Muth describes Complete Works this way, "It's as if TV's Martin meets Benny Hill and George Lopez drops in!"

Amy Winehouse's label may be expecting a new album by the end of the year, but musician and producer Mark Ronson says that she hasn't entered the studio yet. "Amy hasn't begun working on her next record yet. When she's got 10 songs, we'll go down to the studio together," Ronson told the Daily Mail.
Ronson was also the producer of Winehouse's 2006 Grammy winning album, Back to Black. The pair reportedly was in studio together in 2008 to record a theme to a Bond movie but things fell apart. They also have been in studio recently however to record a track for a Quincy Jones tribute album.
Winehouse made a surprise appearance at Ronson's show in London on Tuesday and performed her song "Valerie" for the crowd.

Railway traffic jam is causing problems
Having jobs in public and private sectors can reduce social security
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
It used to be that some people with serious disabilities would
die before the Social Security Administration finally got around to
reviewing their applications for disability benefits. Today,
applicants with one of 225 of the severest medical conditions can
win approval within 15 days.
The government's "compassionate allowances" program provides
fast-track review of applicants who can prove that they have one of
the medical conditions on the list, which includes various cancers,
heart disease, and immune system and neurological disorders. (For
the list, go to
Nearly 95% of compassionate allowances applications are
approved. The other 5% are placed on an expedited appeals process.
The average monthly benefit was $1,146 in December 2013. As with
all applications for Social Security disability benefits,
compassionate allowances applicants must be unable to work.
The program was a godsend for Robert C., 55, a Milwaukee, Wis.,
businessman who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January
2013. Robert, who did not want his last name used, applied in March
2013 and started receiving $2,400 a month in April--the full
retirement benefit he would have received at age 66. "It's helped
us retain our home and helped us get back on our feet," he
The program began in 2008 to help the most severely ill cut
through the huge backlog of applications for disability benefits.
Before then, Social Security employees had no way to distinguish
between the most urgent applications from tens of thousands of
other disability claims received each year. With a lengthy backlog
and a time-consuming appeals process, many qualified applicants
died before getting payments.
Diseases and conditions are added to the list each year. There
is no backlog for compassionate allowances applications, even
though the application rolls grow as new diseases are approved.
About 200,000 people have received benefits through the program
since it started.
The program is one of Social Security's "best kept secrets,"
says Cheryl Bates-Harris, senior disability advocate for the
National Disability Rights Organization. "In the past, disability
decisions were made by Social Security personnel who weren't
medical professionals, and they were unaware of unusual diseases
and their outcomes. The compassionate allowances program makes it
easier for people to get benefits without having to wait two, three
or five years," she says.
Here's how it works: Once an individual claims a compassionate
allowances condition during the initial application, special
software alerts the Social Security Administration that the case
needs to be fast-tracked. Applicants must provide medical evidence,
including medical records and recent test results.
After an applicant provides authorization, Social Security
adjudicators will ask the applicant's doctors for information if
all medical records aren't supplied. When the condition is
confirmed, disability payments start flowing. You don't need a
lawyer or advocate to help as long as you have a diagnosis that
falls within the category. "There are diagnoses, like pancreatic
cancer, where the outcome is dire. If you can prove you have the
disease from your medical record, we will fast-forward your
application," says Art Spencer, who recently retired as Social
Security's associate commissioner for the office of disability
For the quickest results, Bates-Harris suggests applying
immediately after a diagnosis. Also, make sure every one of your
doctors sends medical records quickly.
If your disability is not on the list, expect a lengthy wait.
The average processing time for an initial disability claim under
the normal procedures is 86 days, plus more than 450 additional
days for a rejected applicant to complete the appeals process.
You can apply at

medications, laboratory results, and any medical records you

text: Of Course CNN Hired S.E. Cupp; She Loves To Criticize Conservatives by Larry O'Connor Jun 30, 2013 8:40 AM PT Share This: Print I like S.E. Cupp. I think she's smart, and funny and she's a great new face for Republicans or Libertarians or whatever camp she feels most comfortable in these days, I'm not sure. She embodies a funny and irreverent perspective that was groomed on "Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld" and it sometimes appeared on the awful "Spin Cycle" on MSNBC when her producers allowed it. But, make no mistake, CNN has hired her as one of the "conservative" voices for their re-launched "Crossfire" program so that she can assist in the larger media narrative that conservatives are too harsh, mean, dumb, etc. The only news Cupp made over the past year was when she criticized Sarah Palin, CPAC and Rush Limbaugh. Meanwhile, she had the lowest of all hanging fruit right across the table from her every day in the personage of Touré and I can't find any headlines where she called him out for his destructive, mean-spirited race-baiting. By the way, the criticism of Palin was over her support of Newt Gingrich's presidential bid. Gingrich was also named as the other voice of conservatives on "Crossfire." So CNN is already splintering the conservative message on their new show by putting Cupp and Gingrich together. CNN debuted the team on Piers Morgan to discuss the same-sex marriage decision where she proclaimed her support for the decision and contradicted Gingrich on air. S.E. Cupp Now Has An Opportunity by David Webb Jun 30, 2013 2:43 PM PT Share This: Print In response to Of Course CNN Hired S.E. Cupp; She Loves To Criticize Conservatives: This also opens a door of opportunity for S.E. Cupp. Conservatives are not a monolithic block and if she represents her views well, kudos to her. I agree and would like to see her take on Touré / he of one name in a direct rebuttal. Something tells me if she did she may not be at CNN for long. The libs still rule their roost it seems.

Pray for Our Families
No institution in the culture is facing more intense persecution than the family. Not only are the incidences of divorce, infidelity and abuse on the rise, but social engineers are relentless in their efforts to dismantle the traditional family.
It's crucial that we pray for this vital and foundational unit of society. God's Word makes it clear that families play a central role in disseminating the tenets of our faith to the next generation. Loving homes model virtues such as sacrifice, patience and unconditional love to a watching world, and committed marriages exemplify Christ's devotion to His Church. Indeed, the family holds a special place in God's heart.
Please pray for the family to be preserved as the Lord intended the marital union of one man and one woman devoted to each other and to raising the children in their home to be responsible, caring adults. Also keep in mind our elected leaders and the members of our judicial system as they consider proposed legislation and various court cases related to marriage and the family. This is one of the most crucial matters facing our nation, and it's imperative that God's people remain diligent in intercession for these concerns.
Use these scriptures to pray that families will follow godly principles.
- Joshua 24:15
- Psalm 127:3-5
- Ephesians 5:21
- Mark 3:25
- Proverbs 22:6

Pray for Our Churches
While we often associate the word church with our locale of worship, Scripture takes a much broader view. The Church, ultimately, refers to the body of Christian believers around the world. The Lord is passionate for His Church, His bride. From the dawn of time, God's purposes have centered around revealing His glory through His people and securing our eternity with Him.
As those who guide and disciple the Church, today's pastors and other Christian leaders face a vast and unprecedented array of pressures. While God has blessed His people with many godly ministers, these shepherds need our prayer support. As they strive to remain obedient to Christ, ask the Lord to provide them with strength and avenues of accountability so that they may maintain steadfastness in their vital callings. Down through the ages Christians have grieved over the tragedy of pastors who have succumbed to moral failure. Such circumstances seem all too frequent in our day and age. Pastoral families experience many unique stresses, too, and they can be overlooked even though their support role is crucial. Intercede for them, also, as they seek to faithfully come alongside their loved ones.
Meanwhile, the Christian community as a whole must struggle to be faithful amidst an "unbelieving and perverse generation" (Matthew 17:17). Our culture is rife with ideologies and activities that run contrary to biblical precepts, and believers must be increasingly "counter-cultural" in order to stay faithful to their convictions. Clearly, the body of Christ needs intercession as never before.
Pray for the Lord to spark a revival throughout our nation, protect the witness of our pastors, and continue to sanctify and purify Christians around the world. We know that the spiritual condition of homes, communities and countries often points back to the believers within those regions. That being the case, it's all the more important that we strive after righteousness, corporately as well as individually.
Here are scriptures to use to pray for unity and boldness in proclaiming God's Word.

Pray for the Education System
The goals, content and approach of modern-day education have changed dramatically from the schooling children received when our nation was first conceived. Formal, public education was just taking shape at that time as the newly formed government took responsibility for helping parents with this aspect of their children's upbringing. With the 1635 founding of America's first public school, the Boston Latin School, biblical faith was unapologetically woven into classroom teaching. Many teachers were local pastors, and a reverence for the Almighty and His precepts was viewed as an integral part of true knowledge.
Today's schools are a far cry from those early classrooms. The influence of postmodern thought has left its mark on 21st-century education, introducing concepts such as pluralism, "tolerance," and the rejection of absolute truth. While the textbooks used in colonial days promoted a faith-based worldview, today's curricula are replete with materials that accept and, in some cases, even condone immoral activities and lifestyles. Meanwhile, revisionist teachings about our country's founding remove any reference to the Christian underpinnings that have long set our nation apart and helped it thrive.
With this type of atmosphere pervading our classrooms, it's especially critical that we pray for our nation's public school teachers, administrators and students. Ask the Lord to raise up a new generation of dedicated educators who will commit themselves not only to an honest, accurate presentation of all subject matter, but who will also serve as positive role models for their students. In addition, let's not forget to uphold our local school boards in prayer as they make decisions about the various curricula that are used across the country.
Use these scriptures to pray for safety, morally sound instruction and wholesome environments.
