Mood-stabilizing drugs
Mood-stabilizing drugs are used to treat severe psychiatric disorders involving excessive mood swings.
Common drugs

- Carbamazepine
- Lithium
- Valproic acid
Mood-stabilizing drugs are used for the treatment of bipolar affective disorder, which is also known as manicdepressive disorder, and less commonly for severe depression. In bipolar affective disorder, cycles of mania (elation) and severe depression may occur. Lithium is the drug most commonly used to treat this disorder and can control or reduce the intensity of mania. It may also prevent or reduce the frequency of attacks and lift depression. Two other drugs, carbamazepine and valproic acid, may be used as mood stabilizers if lithium is ineffective in treating bipolar affective disorder or if it causes unacceptable side effects.
How are mood-stabilizing drugs used?
Lithium is taken orally. It may take up to about 3 weeks before the drug's effects are noticeable and several weeks more for it to take full effect. For this reason, a rapidly acting antipsychotic drug is often prescribed at the same time for initial control of mania. Lithium will then be continued to prevent further episodes.
Treatment with lithium can cause nausea, diarrhoea, tremor, and excessive thirst. These side effects usually reduce in severity if treatment is continued. If the dose is too high, lithium can cause blurred vision, confusion, and seizures. Carbamazepine and valproic acid may be given if lithium is unsuitable, but may cause memory and coordination problems. Your doctor may carry out blood tests to measure drug levels during treatment with mood-stabilizing drugs.
If you are taking lithium, you will be given a treatment card, bracelet, or pendant, which you should carry with you at all times. You should be careful not make changes in your diet that might alter the amount of salt you take in because this may affect lithium levels in your body. It is also important to avoid dehydration, which may occur if you develop diarrhoea or vomiting or travel to a region with a hot climate.

This class investigates cognitive science and technology as it is applied to the industrial design process. The class introduces prototyping techniques and approaches for objective evaluation as part of the design process. Students practice evaluating products with mechanical and electronic aspects. Evaluation processes are applied to creating functioning smart product prototypes. This is a project oriented subject that draws upon engineering, aesthetic, and creative skills. It is geared toward students interested in creating physical products which encompass electronics and computers, aimed at including them in smart scenarios. Students in the class will present readings, learn prototyping skills, create a product prototype, and complete a publication style paper.

Enjoyed this book. Part alternate history, part mystery. Great book if you like those genres.
a tad tedious. I wouldn't have missed not reading it.
Enjoyed this book. Part alternate history, part mystery. Great book if you like those genres.
Another of those novels where the idea sounds wonderful but the execution doesn't quite work as well as it might. In Carter's tale, Lincoln survives Booth's bullet only to face impeachment and and trial two years later at the hands of the Radical Republicans.
The main characters in the novel are two young law clerks in the firm responsible for defending Lincoln in his Senate trial: one the scion of a northern industrialist family, the other Abigail Canner, a black Oberlin graduate who wants to read for the law. As they work on Lincoln's case, they also seek to unravel the threads of what seems to be a far-reaching conspiracy ... and of course also develop something resembling romantic feelings for each other (cue the eye-roll).
While the political minutiae and machinations make for fascinating reading, and Carter manages to put together a reasonably complex mystery, the story is a bit over-written and might have been edited down markedly to a more tight narrative. Recommended, but with slight reservations.
At its heart, The Impeachment of A.L. is a courtroom drama. But it is also a character study not only of the individuals in the story, but of the nation itself. Nearly everyone, it seems, was trying to do the right thing. Of course politicians will be politicians and none of them do anything without an angle, but it is interesting to watch them try to apply the rule of law to politics. Washington of 1866 isn't really that different from 1966 or 2006 and he gets his point across well -
"Like so many people of liberal persuasion, they value their own progressive opinions more than they value the people they hold those opinions about." p 148 (written as dialogue of Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts)
"Odd how none of the money ever seemed to be spent here in Washington City - unless, of course, one counted the fabulous marble palace the Congress had built for itself, as though the first duty of the legislature was to the comfort of its own members." p 199
It's a good thing though that the story wasn't confined to politics or the courtroom. While those pieces were interesting and the reason for a lot of the other action and drama, my own ignorance of not only President Lincoln, but the political situation of his time hampered my ability to separate fact from fiction or see where things might head.
While Carter says he committed more mayhem than usual by shoving around historical events, he also based a lot of the book on fact. Many of the speeches were taken from various trials and other events. Letters and court transcripts were consulted as were other documents. A lot of it is pure fiction though and overall it works. Who doesn't love a good conspiracy? There's plenty of it here. The time comes through as does the tension of the events surrounding the trial and the murders.
Unfortunately where it falters is in Abigail's character. Sure, I liked her and was sympathetic to her situation, but it was a lot of tell and very little show. For example, on page 83 Jonathan muses about Abigail's constant argumentative chatter. What argumentative chatter? All we've seen her do is dust and tidy, bite her tongue and swallow down retorts she might have said if she were a man or if she were white (or, better yet, both). She doesn't though, knowing prudence is sometimes the better part of valor. She picks her battles judiciously and knows exactly how to work the system when she has to. Like going to Kate there at the end when she most needed her. I wish Carter had shown more of that rather than just continually describing her as smart or determined or whatever. Everyone was fascinated by her though, I just wish I saw more of exactly why.
As always, Carter weaves a complex tale that leaves a lot of the work up to the reader. I like that. I don't need a writer to lead me to every clue, explain every nuance or give me every bit of historical of context. There are a lot of characters to track, relationships to parse and history to grasp. Strong writing as usual and the pacing is good. Tugged me right along and I finished this rather dense novel in just a week. No skimming...you can't afford to with Carter's novels and really, why would you? The prose is good. Not brilliant, but there's a lot there to appreciate.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 030727263X, Hardcover)From the best-selling author of The Emperor of Ocean Park and New England White, a daring reimagining of one of the most tumultuous moments in our nation's past
Stephen L. Carter's thrilling new novel takes as its starting point an alternate history: President Abraham Lincoln survives the assassination attempt at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Two years later he is charged with overstepping his constitutional authority, both during and after the Civil War, and faces an impeachment trial . . .
Twenty-one-year-old Abigail Canner is a young black woman with a degree from Oberlin, a letter of employment from the law firm that has undertaken Lincoln's defense, and the iron-strong conviction, learned from her late mother, that "whatever limitations society might place on ordinary negroes, they would never apply to her." And so Abigail embarks on a life that defies the norms of every stratum of Washington society: working side by side with a white clerk, meeting the great and powerful of the nation, including the president himself. But when Lincoln's lead counsel is found brutally murdered on the eve of the trial, Abigail is plunged into a treacherous web of intrigue and conspiracy reaching the highest levels of the divided government.
Here is a vividly imagined work of historical fiction that captures the emotional tenor of post–Civil War America, a brilliantly realized courtroom drama that explores the always contentious question of the nature of presidential authority, and a galvanizing story of political suspense.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:49:20 -0400)
In an alternate history novel, Lincoln escapes assassination by John Wilkes Booth only to face impeachment, and Abigail Canner, a young black woman involved in his defense, helps investigate the murder of the president's counsel.

There are numerous concerns that persons wear making a claim following a generic traffic collision. Most with them do not bother to do so yet regret this afterwards. Many people are unclear about generic traffic collision claims and have the misconceptions about just what payment entails.
A great deal of persons doubt about when a claim will be filed. One will process a traffic collision claim when there has been a crash caused with a error. The error needs to be by the alternative path consumer. For the claim to be legitimate, the claimant must not have any piece in the reason of the collision. There have to be damages to vehicle and injuries, noticeable or perhaps not. If the payment is calculated all the bills of the damages and injuries in addition to alternative factors are taken into consideration.
Another issue is the fact that many people do not know what to do following a crash. The principal thing to do is to call the police to the scene of the collision. They write a report, that you will receive a copy of. The next step is to find medical aid. Even should you have insignificant injuries, the medic exams you and also writes a report. These two reports are important for the claim task.
People don't realize the requirement of an lawyer. Attorneys have all the legal knowledge for you to professionally process a claim. They moreover know how to lay a sturdy case to present in courtroom to confirm that the claimant is totally compensated.
Another well-known doubt concerns the fees for the services rendered. There are no win no fee firms where the attorneys are not paid until the claimant is compensated. The legal fees are paid by the insurance carrier or the accused. The major benefit of this Maintenance is customers receive free legal advice irrespective of whether the lawyer is employed.

"It has been a dream for me for a long time," William Duncan said shyly as he clutched a blue folder with an official seal on the outside. Today, Tennessee officials awarded the 84-year-old with an honorary high school diploma.
A little known state benefit made Duncan's dream a reality. A 2010 Tennessee law allows honorably discharged veterans of World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War to request the diplomas.
Duncan never attended high school. Instead, as one of fourteen children, he got a job at the General Shoe Company, later known as Genesco. Just as he began studying for the GED, his draft letter arrived.
Despite a heart condition that should have made Duncan exempt from the military, the Tullahoma native served eight years stateside and was ultimately promoted to Corporal.
In the 1980's, Duncan tried again to earn his GED, says his daughter Deborah, but he found the material too complicated to teach himself in his spare time. The family lawyer tipped her off to the new state program earlier this year.
According to Tennessee Department of Education only three or four veterans request an honorary diploma each year, though thousands are eligible.
Duncan says he plans to hang his diploma on the wall next to his daughter's.

Ahh bean bag chairs come with three parts: a Cover, a Liner, and Filling. Together, they make very comfy round (not ugly pear-shaped) bean bag chairs. Our round bean bags are preferred by decorators and designers worldwide.
Covers are the "outer" shell of Ahh bean bags. They are handmade in the USA and double-stitched with quality materials for exceptional beauty and long life. We use top quality thread, fabrics, and zippers.
Unlike other bean bags, ours are sewn like a baseball. Other bean bags use many panels and look like an orange with sections. It's much cheaper to make a paneled bean bag chair, but this style shows more seams and doesn't look nice. Our seams, on the other hand, are hidden and look more "finished".
Note: paneled bean bags are egg-shaped, that's why they have 3 measurements (width, depth, height). Our round shape has a simple diameter measurement.
Bean bag covers come in many different materials and colors, so you can match them to your taste and lifestyle. Covers can be zipped-off completely for washing in your household washing machine and for changing whenever the mood strikes you. You can purchase covers separately for any of our styles. Learn how to put covers back on after you wash it...
Liners hold the filling, allowing the cover to be removed and washed. They are handmade and double-stitched. They simply won't break. We use an extremely strong, water-repellent microfiber - water beads right up! Other bean bag chairs use cheap, thin cotton or poly/cotton liners. What if you spill a drink on your bean bag chair and it soaks right through to the filling? What's the point of a washable cover if the inside is sticky and stinky (or worse, mildewy)? And what a mess when they break!
All liners have a self-locking, child-resistant zipper that makes refilling easier, but keeps your child out of the filling. You can buy bean bag liners separately, too.
People even like the way the liner looks & feels, so when you're washing your cover, you still have a nice bean bag! Read more about liners, like how to unzip the child-resistant zipper...
The filling is polystyrene (better known as styrofoamTM). This is the traditional filling for bean bag chairs, and it makes our bean bags feel the way you'd expect a bean bag to feel. It conforms to your body, while still providing enough structure to hold you up. Wondering about our bean bag chair filler compared to the shredded couch-foam filling found in "sacks"?...We've been told that the foam filled chairs are really hard to "re-fluff" and are too "pillow-y". This means you have a compacted chair with no support! Read more about why we choose styrofoam over shredded cushion foam...
We offer 2 kinds of fill: reground pellets and virgin bead. Reground is more Earth-friendly since we are re-purposing brand new filling that has already been made but not used yet. We keep it out of landfills. Read about reground versus virgin refill here...
"Our foam-filled beanbags are impossible to refluff and we had the small size one! What a stupid product! We replaced them with your filling and love it!" -L.M.
Bonus: customers with Ahh bean bags get discounts on filler!
All bean bag chairs are upholstered furniture, which also fall into a special category because they are filled. As such, all bean bags are legally required to include labels with information about the manufacturer (name, address, Uniform Registry Number) and what the filling is. In most cases, it should also include flammability information. With this information, consumers are safer. Especially because children often use bean bag chairs, it is vital that you know what is inside, if it meets US flammability standards, and who to contact if you have problems.
Manufacturers that stand behind their products will have this label for all to see.
You don't have to buy cheap bean bag chairs to get a good deal. Take advantage of our specials page instead to get a top quality bean bag chair for a fantastic price. Our quality will give you the best value in the long run!
AHH! Products...
because bean bag safety IS important.

The Essentials of (Summer) Cottage Life
The cottage is an institution in Finland. In the holiday seasons, Finns flock to the countryside for quietness and relaxation at cosy hideouts.
Often situated by water or fells, cabins and cottages are an essential element in Finnish life that provide a physical and mental getaway from the daily grind.
Forgetting the everyday worries is inevitable in retreats amid the country's greatest resource: its rugged natural beauty.
– For me, going to the cottage is an essential part of every vacation. Only there I can feel totally relaxed, says Kata Juurikkala, a young woman from southern Finland. She spends her holidays at her grandmother's cottage in Finnish Lakeland.
– It's all about being close to my family and friends. What I'm actually doing there is secondary.
Silence, Please
In the rush and crush of modern life, the rarities are what we value most, such as space, quiet and time. The space to breathe, a time to dream… you can find these treasures in Finland, where the lakes are many and the people are few.

The following PowerShell script will loop through all the lists in a given site and look for a particular content type. This is useful if you ever need to report on how many lists are using a content type, or you're just curious.
You can download the complete script from the TechNet Gallery here: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/sharepoint/Find-Lists-or-Libraries-fd247709
For this script I wanted to use arguments when the script is run, these are very simple and include the following:
- Web URL – This is a fully qualified URL to the site.
- Content Type Name – This is the content type name.
So using the script would look like the following:
- Find-Content-Types.ps1 "http://SPURL/SITE" "CONTENT TYPE NAME"
So first, we'll make sure the SharePoint snap-in is loaded:
if ((Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
Next, we'll populate some variables from the arguments:
$webUrl = $args[0]
$ctName = $args[1]
# Varibale to hold document count
$count = 0
We also include a "count" variable that will hold a count of objects that have been updated. Now, in a try/catch block we'll execute the main code.
# Get site instance
$site = get-spsite $webUrl
# Formatting
Write-Host ""
Write-Host "Starting search…."
Write-Host ""
# Loop through each web in site, then each list
foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs)
foreach ($lst in $web.lists)
foreach ($ctype in $lst.ContentTypes)
if ($ctype.Name -eq $ctName)
Write-Host $lst.DefaultViewUrl -ForegroundColor Yellow
Finally we write out how many lists we found.
Write-Host "Found $count lists using the content type '$ctName'." -ForegroundColor Green
Here is an overview of what's going on:
- First we object the site object
- Next, we loop through all the sub-webs via the AllWebs property
- Inside this loop is another loop that will go through all the lists in the web
- Once we have the list, we loop through all the content types associated with the list
- We check to see if the content type name matches what was supplied as an argument
Its a fairly simple script, but can save you a lot of time if you ever need it.
Thanks to Tom Benjamin for showing me the way

Stock market ekes out another record high
Call it the ho-hum market. Another day, another record high.
AP Business Writer
Call it the ho-hum market. Another day, another record high.
News of a handful of corporate deals sent some stocks jumping Monday. And Family Dollar climbed following news that investor Carl Icahn has taken a stake in the company.
With no major economic reports to drive the market, U.S. indexes made slight gains in the morning then slouched back toward the breakeven mark in the afternoon. The Standard & Poor's 500 index still managed to close at another all-time high, rising 1.83 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 1,951.27.
The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 18.82 points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,943.10, while the Nasdaq composite index gained 14.84 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,336.24.
The S&P 500 has been on a steady climb for three weeks, lifting the benchmark for most investment funds by 4 percent the last month.
Judging by some measures, that sudden success makes it look like the S&P 500 has moved "too far, too fast," said Joe Bell, senior equity analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
But there are still plenty of traders making bets against the market. People have also taken billions out of mutual funds that invest in U.S. stocks week after week, according to the Investment Company Institute.
"We don't think there's an overwhelming amount of optimism right now," Bell said.
In corporate deal news, Hillshire Brands rose $3.14, or 5 percent, to $62.06 after Tyson Foods emerged as the winner in a bidding war for meat processor.
Merck announced a deal to buy Idenix Pharmaceuticals for $3.85 billion, an acquisition that would give the pharmaceutical giant Idenix's array of treatments for hepatitis C. Idenix soared $16.56, or 229 percent, to $23.79.
Apple's stock rose $1.48 cents, or nearly 2 percent, to $93.77. That's after closing at $645.57 on Friday. The difference reflects Apple's 7-for-1 stock split, which gave every Apple stockholder six additional shares for every share they owned
In a disclosure filed to regulators late Friday, Carl Icahn said he and his affiliates have picked up a 9 percent stake in Family Dollar, a discount store, and plan to look for changes to boost the company's value. Family Dollar's stock jumped $8.09, or 13 percent, to $68.62.
Some investment analysts have been warning that the market is past due for a 10 percent drop, known as a "correction," because there hasn't been one since August 2011 -- nearly three years. Since World War II, corrections typically hit every 18 months on average, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Jim Paulsen, the chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management, said he wouldn't rule one out this year. But such a downturn requires the right environment, one in which investors get too greedy for their own good. Right now, he said, there's too much caution.
"It's going to take some time before people get so greedy that they're going to do stupid stuff and blow us up," Paulsen said.
In the market for U.S. government bonds, the yield on the 10-year Treasury edged up to 2.60 percent from 2.59 percent late Friday. Yields rise when bond prices fall. The price of oil rose $1.75 to $104.41 a barrel.

All the way
If I listen to your lies would you say
*I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sell a contradiction
You come and go

You come and go

Didn't hear your wicked words

When we cling
Our love is strong

Pakistani Series Burka Avenger Claims Another U.S. Media Award
Making Time's list of "The 11 Most Influential Fictional Characters of 2013" – alongside the likes of Ron Burgundy, Carlos Danger and Walter White – was sweet. But this week, following a 20-hour flight into New York, musician and producer Haroon got to accept something much sweeter on behalf of his 3D female-empowerment animated program: a Peabody award.
From a report on Pakistan Today:
"It's an incredible honor," said Haroon during an interview immediately after the Peabody presentation. "It's a great feeling to be recognized."

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on May 2, 2008
This week, anti-gun U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) registration legislation that would invade the privacy rights of law-abiding gun owners.
Cosponsored by like-minded Sens. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Carl Levin (D-MI), Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Jack Reed (D-RI), and Charles Schumer (D-NY), S. 2935 would, among other things, require the FBI to retain records of cleared firearm transactions for at least 180 days. Current law requires federally-licensed firearm dealers to conduct a background check on a prospective buyer using NICS prior to selling a firearm. NICS creates an audit log of the purchase during the course of the search. Under current Justice Department regulations, those records must be destroyed within 24 hours to preserve the lawful purchaser's privacy. The Clinton Administration originally proposed keeping these records for as long as 180 days. NRA successfully fought to reduce this time period to 24 hours. Lautenberg's legislation would undo this regulation.
Once again trying to create a link where none exists, Lautenberg opined, "We must overturn the ill-conceived law mandating destruction of this data so we can successfully combat gun violence and terrorism in America."
This latest anti-gun scheme should further remind gun owners of the importance of this year's elections. S. 2935 demonstrates that threats to our Second Amendment rights remain very much alive. Sen. Lautenberg has a long and well-documented anti-gun record, and in sponsoring legislation that is a gross invasion of law-abiding gun owners' privacy, his intentions are clearly aimed at further restriction of those rights.
Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the "lobbying" arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.READ MORE

Category: International, Violence against Women
The Casualties of War Crimes—Who Weeps for Abeer?
| March 12, 2007
Sandwiched between International Women's Day on March 8 and the fourth anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq on March 19 is another date that marks a tragic nexus of the two: the day one year ago when 14-year-old Abeer Qassim Al-Janabi was stalked, gang-raped, shot in the head and her corpse burned in her own home in Mahmoudiya, Iraq. Four U.S. soldiers and one former soldier are charged with the crimes committed March 12, 2006.
|Meeting Recruitment Quotas Pfc. Steven D. Green, allegedly the ringleader in the attack on Abeer and her family, got in the military on a moral waiver. In 2006, so did 34,476 other recruits. Of those, 8,129 were U.S. Army recruits like Green, but the Army isn't the biggest user of moral waivers, granted to recruits with criminal records—for misdeeds that range from traffic and one-time drug offenses to felony convictions. The Marine Corp granted 20,750 moral waivers in 2006, according to Pentagon data obtained by the Palm Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara. All together, branches of the U.S. military have issued over 125,000 moral waivers since 2003, or, roughly 30,000 per year. Of the Army's share in 2006, 900, more than one in ten, were granted to individuals with felony convictions, more than double the number in 2003. –Tamera Gugelmeyer
The soldiers were so confident of their abilities to achieve their intended crimes that they rounded up the Al-Janabi family from their daily chores in broad daylight. Pfc. Stephen Green allegedly shot Abeer's parents and 5-year-old sister to death in the room next to where she was being raped by Sgt. Paul Cortez. His buddy, Pfc. James Barker held the struggling, crying teenager down while two other soldiers, Pfc. Jesse Spielman and Pfc. Bryan Howard, reportedly stood watch.
All this in the middle of the day under the hot afternoon sun, March 12, 2006.
Such are the unpleasantries of invasion, war and occupation. The medical journal Lancet estimated in 2004 that at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed, more than half of them women and children. Today, in the absence of accurate figures, that number likely has been far surpassed.
To Americans, far from Iraq, these are presented as the sanitized statistics of collateral damage. But the Al-Janabi rape and murders were too well documented to ignore, just as the souvenir photos taken by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib forced Americans to see the torture being committed by their own troops.
The U.S. government and military are prosecuting the five accused men—a sixth was charged with dereliction of duty—without an inquiry into the pressures and rules of engagement that lead "a really good kid," as Sgt. Cortez was called during at his court martial, to commit war crimes against civilians. In his sworn testimony describing how he and the others planned and carried out the rape and murders at the Al Janabi home, Sgt. Cortez pointedly stated that he and his fellow defendants "weren't the only soldiers who talked about having sex with Iraqi women." In Islamic Iraq, 'having sex' in this context can only mean rape.
Numerous observers, including soldiers themselves, say that abuses of Iraqi civilians are not uncommon. A report by Code Pink and the Global Exchange describes incidents where U.S. soldiers tortured female detainees, among them young girls, in the form of sexual abuse and rape, including stripping them naked, then burning their skin or dousing them with water. Sometimes women were tortured in prison cells near their husbands so that their screams could be used to torture the Muslim male detainees.
Under the War Crimes Act of 1996, which Congress passed overwhelmingly so that the U.S. could, under the Geneva Convention, prosecute North Vietnamese who tortured U.S. soldiers during the war in Vietnam, it is a federal crime for any U.S. national, whether military or civilian, to violate the Geneva Convention by engaging in murder, torture, or inhuman treatment. Significantly, the statute applies not only to those who carry out the acts, but also to those who order it, know about it, or fail to take steps to stop it. Yet no officers or military brass have been questioned for their gross failure to stop the crimes in Abeer's home—let alone for any military policies that contributed to these abuses. This is not surprising in an administration that has demonstrated, time and again, its predilection for blaming a fall guy and refusing to hold accountable those higher up in authority.
The White House and Pentagon choose to eschew prosecution for such crimes under the War Crimes Act, since it could implicate their own responsibility. However, their failure to recognize such war crimes also makes it impossible to acknowledge the psychological harm done to the soldiers who have been placed in horrific situations that can turn a really good kid into a war criminal. Where will returning soldiers get the treatment they need if they have been witnesses to or participants in war crimes and abuse of Iraqi civilians?
Family counselors and military mental health workers have long recognized the psychological trauma exhibited by veterans of Iraq—and that too little help is available for them. Only six counseling sessions are allowed for soldiers who are referred for service under the military's One Source plan, an Employee Assistance Program that was created only after a string of domestic homicides occurred in 2002 at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, committed by soldiers who just returned from Afghanistan.
Soldiers can also get counseling services through mental health clinics, but unlike the EAP sessions, mental health visits are noted on their military records—and can be used against them. For example, airborne soldiers cannot fly if they are being treated for depression, a career ender for troops in the 101st Airborne Battalion—to which the five soldiers involved in the rape and killing of Abeer and her family belonged.
About 1.4 million soldiers, reservists and National Guard have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. So have several hundred thousand private contractors, such as truck drivers who must traverse roads laced with Improvised Explosive Devices. All are subject to the serious effects of post traumatic stress disorders and other mental health problems, yet the resources to help them and their families are too few. Even as politicians call for national probes into the lapses at Walter Reed Hospital in the medical treatment of returning soldiers, little mention is made of their mental health needs. If these veterans and private contractors don't get treatment for their invisible wounds, all of society will suffer with them.
At the end of his court martial, Sgt. Cortez apologized to brothers of Abeer Qassim Al-Janabi for turning them into orphans. His sentence for the capital war crimes he committed: 100 years, with possible parole in 10, minus his time served. For committing the gang rape of Abeer and four murders, he could be out in nine years. One can only hope that he receives the treatment he needs during his confinement before he rejoins the general population.
Cortez paused to wipe his tears at several points during his testimony, becoming most emotional when he expressed his remorse for letting his fellow soldiers down. But one year after the war atrocities that took her young life with violence and terror, who weeps for Abeer?
Helen Zia, an author and Women's Media Center board member, attended the court martial of Sgt. Cortez in Ft. Campbell, Kentucky for the WMC.
End note—a report by www.consumersforpeace.org, "War Crimes Committed by the United States in Iraq and Mechanisms for Accountability," ended with the following admonition: "Each citizen of the United States is challenged to be willing to recognize first that fellow citizens in the executive branch of the Federal government and in the military have repeatedly violated international law in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. The next step is to open our minds to not only the possibility but the absolute necessity to hold our fellow citizens to account."

Damaged BMW X5 M because of bad weather conditions
Adverse weather conditions have made a BMW X5 M, with 555 horsepower under the hood, to topple at a mountain resort in Europe. Capricious weather gave much trouble to Europeans. Snow and ice favored accidents on European roads, lack of attention being harshly charged. An unfortunate example was surprised by the camera of a tourist in a mountain resort.
It looks like a owner of a BMW X5 M, performance version of the Bavarian SUV, lost control and struck down by bulwark on the road. The impact made the SUV to turn upside down, but without serious consequences for passengers.
The BMW X5 M was named a standard of sportsmanship in its class. What is not always a good thing, especially on an icy road. The driver convinced too about the sportsmanship of the car, the driver wanted to impress and actually managed to watch the world from below. The size of the model helped to escape with only a scare.

This year the MJ celebration was held at Canoe Studios in New York City — a gorgeous space that you may recognize as the backdrop from Beyonce's "Love On Top" music video!
Before entering the exclusive event, VIPs took HOT SHOTS on the blue carpet and shared why they love MJ! Everyone was dressed to the nines, and Micah looked absolutely peach-perfect in his bold Moods of Norway suit and Carlo Pazolini shoes. As they walked into the party, guests were offered delicious Malibu Red cocktails and whisked away into the main room where hot beats were mixed all night by DJ Kalkutta and DJ Kiss while guests hung out in the BoConcept VIP area, flanked by security.
When guests weren't drinking and mingling, there was so much to do — from taking pictures at the HOT SHOT photo booth and the NIVEA USA kissing booth to enjoying endless hors d'oeuvres and cupcakes from an elaborate MJ 5 Year display, courtesy of Baked By Melissa. And there were plenty of Tic Tacs on hand (in signature MJ colors, of course!) for those who needed to freshen up!
The celebration didn't end there! MJ and some of his closest pals rode off to the after-party at AVENUE, safely and in style, thanks to GM Northeast.

Happy 18th Birthday, Justin Bieber!!! — Watch My Interview With Justin From 2009!
Happy Birthday Justin Bieber!
In honor of his 18th birthday today, I dug up some old footage from 2009 where I caught up with Justin in NYC just weeks after signing his first record deal with Usher and Island Def Jam. He was in town promoting his very first single, "One Time," and I got a last minute call for an interview opp with the young pop star, and after being a fan for many years, writing about him on my site while he was unsigned and posting videos on YouTube, I excitedly rushed from my downtown apartment to meet up with Justin and his day-to-day manager, Ryan Good, at their midtown hotel for a quick chat.
After the interview, JB was kind enough to welcome in the all new MicahJesse.com! (Watch that video below)
How much do you think I'd have to pay him to do it now?
All joking aside, "the kid" (as his manager Scooter Braun calls him) has come a long way since then (and thankfully so have I…wink!). Justin is a tremendously talented, kind, and giving young artist, and I want to wish him many more years of success!
Justin, if you're reading this (ha!), it's been a pleasure watching you grow.
Happy Birthday, Justin Bieber! Never say never!Read More

VIDEO: Jennifer Hudson Talks Being "Sexy" And Her Own "Sasha Fierce"
Jennifer Hudson tells me she's always considered herself "sexy."
The one-time "American Idol" reject has since gone on to win countless awards (including a GRAMMY for Best R&B Album and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in "Dreamgirls"), sold millions of albums, signed on to be the newest celebrity spokesperson for Weight Watchers, and most recently, become an author.
I got the chance to catch up with Jennifer on Tuesday night (Jan 10) in NYC, at a Good Housekeeping magazine event, where the sultry songstress (rocking a dress from Roland Mourat) was promoting her new book, I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down, tracing her 80-pound weight-loss journey.
With a new slim frame, I wondered — does she now consider herself "sexy?" Jennifer assured me that even as a big girl, "I always felt sexy — always — y'all just didn't know."
Love that!
But it isn't her busty chest or butt or legs she loves the most. "What's this again?" she asked her publicist, pointing to her glowing neckline. "Your clavicle?" I suggested. "Yes, I've always loved that."
Editor-in-Chief of Good Housekeeping, Rosemary Ellis, hosted the event, and welcomed a surprise visit from record executive Clive Davis, who is credited with giving Jennifer her first record deal and molding her music career into what it is today — a goldmine.

Five Tips to Find Your Perfect Winter Date
Winter is the perfect time of year to really get close to someone. You can't beat Mother Nature so you might as well join her! This is the time of year when the temperature goes down but that should have nothing to do with your love life. Here are 5 tips to keep your love life warm even when the temperature dips.
First, and most importantly, Change your attitude! That's it. It is so easy, simple and it works! Now go for it. Go ahead. It really works. It did for me and it has for years.
Second of all, you need to Get rid of your checklist! I have never had a client come to me and ask to be matched with a fat slob who loves to sit on the couch with a bag on chips and do nothing all day! I know about your list and I know about most lists but I am asking you to get rid of it because over the past 20 years, I have been reading the same lists over and over again. He has to be tall, handsome, make a ton of money, love children, want lots of them, drive a nice car, love his mom, and let you rule his world. Bullshit and good luck! That list has nothing to do with anything. Now, if you want to find a guy to connect with and have chemistry with, then you are going to listen to my advice and open yourself up and change your attitude!
Once you have a new attitude and open mind you need to Get out there! Tis the season to mix and mingle, so go out and meet some new people– connect with people you could have never imagined yourself with. You are now going to be on the right road to finding love and not closing of any doors. What you want is to find someone that you connect with and have chemistry with. Hopefully he/she will be intelligent, open minded, worldly, thoughtful, and both of you will bring out the best in each other so you can have a healthy happy relationship that is based on realistic expectations and not the unrealistic first list above which will get you no where real fast!
This winter concentrate of finding love with realistic expectations and not closing yourself off. So keep this tip in mind on your search: Life is a journey, take some risks. It is well worth it. What do you have to lose? Don't' sit around and wait for someone to ring your doorbell. Go for it by changing your attitude! You will start to witness the miracle of life. Once you start thinking differently, you start to get rid of your unrealitistic expectations, your baggage, your insecurities, judgments and you learn to see the world as a different place. Your mind will benefit from this and watch how you start to choose your thoughts wisely. Your body and mind will become one and your overall presence will become more vibrant, alive, sexy, confident and you will start to attract the kind of person who is just like you!
And what do you once your find that special someone? Take advantage of opportunities to get close this time of year- whether it be romantic fires, snuggling or any outdoor activity- and keep the bond going strong.Read More

EXCLUSIVE! DJ Pauly D Sounds Off On Best Moments (So Far) With Britney!
"The Jersey Shore" is the hottest thing since sliced bread right now and, and as such, the cast mates are inevitably trying to out-do one another with projects, products and endorsement deals. Well, we have to hand it to DJ Pauly D (real name: Paul DelVecchio), who is currently living it up on tour with the Pop Princess herself, Britney Spears.
We asked one of the busiest DJs around to sound off on his Top 5 favorite moments (so far) on tour with Brit Brit, and here's what he had to say:
#1. The incredible feeling I got walking out on stage for the first time in Boston. The audience's reaction is something I will never forget.
#2. My lap dance from Britney Spears during the Montreal concert. It was the best lap dance of my life!!
#3. Nicki Minaj saying "I killed it" my first night in Boston. I have a lot of respect for her so knowing she respects me back is awesome.
#4. Traveling on my tour bus. Having my own tour bus is a dream come true for me.
#5. Seeing my custom DJ booth for the first time. It looks sick!Read More

Kelly Bensimon: My Top Fall Fashion Trends! – EXCLUSIVE!
When she's not getting dragged into cat fights with her cast mates on "The Real Housewives of NYC," Kelly Bensimon is shopping, searching and finding the most "fab finds" from the Hamptons to Hollywood, so we asked our celeBFF to share with y'all some of her most favorite fall fashion trends — so that you can get ready for the next season in true fashion!
Alright, Kelly, tell us what's hot this Fall…
Sky High Heels — In Red: I love Manolo Blahnik, and not because of the reason you think. My dad, when I was 20 years old, bought me my first pair from Neiman Marcus in Palm Springs, Ca. For me, Manolo Blahnik is a rite of passage. I felt like a woman.
Lace: I love lace either vintage or new. Opening Ceremony took my kind of spin on lace and created a see through lace dress. Pair it with a black slip and you are alluring and sweet. Aww.
Purple is the New Neutral: Linea Pelle's over the shoulder messenger bag sold at Henri Bendels screams Moroccan chic, the origin of hippie chic: rich, effortless, well travelled.
Tight Capris: JCREW is making me fashion crazy with tight capris. With a tee shirt, a tight turtleneck, a lace blouse, or a white button down, JCREW's 'Minnie' capris don't channel anything but hot,chic, and sexy. Duh!
Color is the New Color. Dolce and Gabbana's hot pink satin dress leaves nothing to the imagination. Its boxy in shape, and accentuates every movement you make. Fluid, sexy, and eye catching. Make em wonder…
Black Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend: Carlos Souza's jewelry collection that fuses color, travel, and expensive hard to find beads. Wear black diamonds with a tomas maier bikini, or pair a long beaded strand a la 20s with a drop waist dress.
Rock it Out. Ugg's new knee high suede clogs take the rocker and mellow her out. She's not head banging, she's chair dancing and not missing a beat.
Thanks, KKB! Great tips!
Also, be sure to pick up the latest issue of Shape magazine (featuring covergirl Kelly) where she compares her body to a Ferrari (we couldn't agree more!) and follow her on Twitter @KellyBensimon!Read More

A Simple Guide to Painting Your AR-15
Disclaimer**: I am by no means an expert with painting AR's. I do, however, have some experience with the application of paint on rifles and figured I can help those who have less experience than I do. If you have anything productive to add to this thread, please feel free to do so.
Members of GlockTalk:
Over the years I have had a real attraction to rifles that blend in with their environment. I have owned and shot AR's for a couple of years now, but until recently never considered painting one like the rifles I have always been attracted to.
It isn't a difficult task to perform by any means. If anything it's the anxiety of painting a modestly expensive object that makes the task difficult.
First you need to get over the anxiety. Spray paint is by no means permanent nor difficult.
Second, you need to figure out what type of paint matches your surroundings. Desert colors are not the best idea for humid and temperate climates, nor is an arctic pattern great for arid areas like my own. In simple terms, if you live in a place like Maryland or Florida, don't use my patterns because they won't work as well for you. Also, you should pick paints that contrast well and distort the lines of the rifle. My first paint job utilized khaki, brown, and green. While these paints made a pattern that was nice up-close, the brown shading took over at farther distances and made the rifle appear brown rather than camouflaged. It's better than black, but does not effectively camouflage to the full potential.
Third, you need to pick the paint. People with much more experience than I have tend to use quality paint like Aervoe. I have chosen Krylon, as it is easily found and I have seen decent patterns created with it. If you can wait, get the Aervoe. If you are impartial or want to experiment, get the Krylon.
Now you need to setup for the process of painting the rifle.
First you will need to prep the AR with an alcohol pad. Make sure to clean off any dust, sand, grit, etc on the outside of the AR. Then you need to tape off anything that needs to be protected from the paint (i.e. optics, flashlight, magwell). Last, get a paper towel and roll it to where it fits through the muzzle device.
Then you need to give the rifle a good base coat. I use Krylon khaki for my base coat. Give a good eight inches of distance between the can and the rifle. Use swift movements and make sure to cover all the crooks and crannies of the AR. Once finished allow to dry for 10-15 minutes and then flip and repeat.
Base coat:
Now comes the part where you create the pattern. There are several ways you can create a pattern, too include camo netting, leaves, grass, cardboard, etc. I have used two techniques, one that used thin strips of grass and one that uses leaves. I have no photos of using the grass but I do have one for the leaf application.
After spraying the portion not covered by leaves allow the paint to dry for 10-15 minutes.
After with leaf pattern:
After with grass pattern:
Following are some photos of what both patterns look like in my environment.
Leaf pattern in the environment:
Grass pattern in the environment:
Please feel free to post your thoughts and/or paint applications as well.
Tagged, and Semper Fi!
Excellent post. Thanks for sharing that.
Thanks, I've been waiting :supergrin:
I think I'm going to try it on my Noveske soon.
Sorry it took a while, I just wanted to put some decent effort into it.
You also sprayed the FDE MIAD?
great post. thanks. i have painted my grip and stock and XMT rail panel covers with coyote aluma-hyde, but have always wondered if anything/everything needed to be stripped to paint a whole rifle at once. have you ever had any issues with anything mechanical on the rifle sticking at all, like the mag release, knobs on your optic, flip up irons, etc?
Well I'm going to pick up some Krylon camo paints at walmart today, next time we have a still day I'm gonna go for it! I'm a little nervous about painting a $1k+ rifle, but I don't ever intend to sell it, and I figure I can just strip and re-paint if it doesn't turn out well :supergrin:
How durable is that finish?
Thanks for this,.......I just may get the nards to do it.
I hope everybody posts photos of the their finished work. Start to Finish progress photos would really be interesting. Good luck to everyone.
Use of FDE, FG, etc furniture will help mitigate the effect of the wear.
If you are looking for a camo job that is aesthetically pleasing (not saying you are) I recommend cerakote or duracoat. My style of camo is purely functional and nothing else.
Keep in mind, Aervoe gets great reviews for its ability to last for a long time. If you are looking for something tougher I would go that route.
FAA- Thanks for the compliment. I'm sure you will do it in time.
Ted- That is definitely part of the intent of this thread. I know someone here has done a better job than I have, I would love to see their process.
I am definitely going to paint my AK build when finished.
I did a Rem 700 hunting rifle freehand by holding objects over the rifle in various spots, shooting the paint, and changing colors, spots, and objects to get the desired effect.
Used some textured paint to add a little grip to the rifle. Add a coat or two of matte clearcoat at the end to take the sheen off if you aren't using matte paint.
Taped off the action and hit a base coat.
I left the tip of the barrel unpainted in case I thread it later on, and the scope was just for completed looks for the picture. I am replacing it with something else at some point.
I wanted this all in one post but too many pictures I guess. I don't have any in progress shots of the AR I did, but here's the final product.
Did the Bushmaster first as I figured it was my least expensive AR. Planning to do another AR or two at some point with a little more time put into it. It's got the cheap centerpoint scope off the Rem700 in the pictures above in case it had to be sacrificed. Turns out it's no big deal like the OP said.
Heres my current Colt in Khaki clothes, these are extra accesories I painted for coyote hunting. I havent been able to bring my self to paint an AR yet. I have painted a lot of bolt guns and even handguns useing krylon camo or rustoleum textured paint then clear coating over it and they hold up pretty good. I have a new set of HG's on order, I may spray them and go with it, or spray the whole rifle? I think it looks cool 2 tone though. Thats all I do is wipe with alcohol, paint 2 coats, clear and install, or camo like the OP on the bolts I have done.
Here is my previous AR, a guy in CO camod before I had it (some on here may recognize). It looked good.

Love motel's Batman room lets you get it on like the Dark Knight
If you've ever fantasized about getting it on while pretending to be a superhero, there are probably few places better for exploring the geeky side of lovemaking than this Batman themed room inside a so called 'love motel' in Kaohsiung City Taiwan.
The Batman Room at the Eden Hotel comes complete with wall-to-wall Batman decor, including a life-sized Batmobile coming out of the wall that doubles as a love seat.
In keeping with the basic purpose of the Eden Motel, the room actually rents by the hour, but I'm sure they'll let you sleep there through the night if you just want to dream about living the life of the Caped Crusader.

Every Capella Pedregal guest can confirm that our Personal Assistants have the best office! Open air, waterfalls and the endless views of the Pacific Ocean are just some features of their office environment. I had the pleasure of sitting in their office while talking with our new Lead Personal Assistant, Marina Masclef.
Marina, I am so excited to sit down with you! Tell me, what brought you to Cabo San Lucas?
Originally, I am from Argentina. I always loved traveling and have visited many places around the world. I guess that's why I love my job so much; I love helping create wonderful holidays for fellow travelers. When I first arrived, I was planning to stay in Cabo for one year, but this is already my 7th year here and I love it as much as the day I arrived.
What are your favorite things about Baja?
I am in love with Baja. I love the climate, landscape, food and people. Even today, after 7 years, I continue discovering new places. I am constantly surprised by Baja, which is not easy! This morning I enjoyed a stand up paddle boarding trip at Land's End, and I feel invigorated and ready for the day! I said hi to a couple of sea lions at the arch, and met some pelicans, which are my favorite. This is my favorite way to start a day in Cabo San Lucas!
You joined Capella Pedregal three months ago. Can you explain what is a Personal Assistant, and what is the difference between a PA and a Concierge?
Absolutely! While a Concierge is a person you usually contact to book an activity or a dinner reservation when you are already at a vacation spot, the role of a Capella Pedregal Personal Assistant is much larger. Our goal is to create a personalized experience for our guests, and help them create memories of a lifetime.
We contact our guests two weeks prior to their arrival, and find out any details about their stay; be it a relaxing vacation, upcoming marriage proposal, honeymoon, anniversary, birthday celebration or even business trip. Based on this information, we suggest and help organize different activities; from spa treatments, cooking classes, tequila or wine tastings, outdoor activities, transportation and more. Throughout their stay, my team and I are constantly available to our guests making sure to provide them with superior services and experiences.
I love finding new ways to surprise and charm our guests. Once we created a romantic treasure hunt that ended with the future groom on bended knee. Another time, in celebration of a young guest's birthday, Patrick (one of our PAs) had a piñata specially made in the shape of a Lightning McQueen. And a third guest received a special wake up call in the form of a mariachi band on his birthday. These are just some of the many memories we cherish with our guests.
And finally, tell me a bit about the Capella Pedregal Personal Assistant department. What are your plans?
My goal is to become the best department at the resort. I believe I have the best team and many of them have been here since Capella Pedregal opened. We have eight Personal Assistants who cover both the hotel and our Capella Pedregal Residences.
We are constantly exploring new activities, working with other departments to create special memories and activities based on the interactions we have with our guests. I encourage training as well, so each team member participates in the activities that we offer both at the resort as well as outside adventures.
From here the sky is the limit, which is good because as a brand Capella's standards are celestial.
