How Central Banks Are Waging War on Your Savings
Mark Thornton writes in today's Mises Daily:
He sees the problem as insufficient aggregate demand. Wolf considers the pre-2007 unsustainable credit boom a temporary fix, rather than the cause of the crisis brought about by central banks. His argument is that low interest rates and quantitative easing policy has been an insufficient policy response. His preferred solution is some type of massive public works program financed by government deficits. However, he believes that governments will refuse to borrow in order to build "productive assets." This is classic Keynesian logic: solve the problems of debt and monetary expansion by engaging in more debt and monetary expansion. With governments reluctant to expand spending further he concludes that we are stuck with the second-best solution of a cheap money policy consisting of ultra low interest rates and quantitative easing. Besides, he notes, the "cautious rentier no longer serves a useful purpose."

Thomas M. McWilliams &
Lawrence Curtis Widdoes
1984 W. Wallace McDowell Joint Award Recipients
"For creating the structured computer-aided logic (SCALD) design methodology, which is the basis for many of the successful computer-aided engineering
systems used in the industry"
Dr. Thomas M. McWilliams, Vice President of Valid Logic Systems, Inc. of Mountain View California, since September, 1983, was born on June 17, 1952 in Kansas City, Missouri. He obtained both his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1975. Upon being offered a Fannie and John Hertz Graduate Fellowship, he proceeded to standard University, where he earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1980. His dissertation entitled, "Verification of Timing Constraints in Large Digital Systems," won him the Fannie and John Hertz award for the best Ph.D. thesis that year.
Dr. McWilliams had the opportunity to work on simulation programs at Digital Equipment Corporation as an undergraduate. While doing his graduate work, he was a Co-Principal Investigator at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on the S-1 project which he founded in collaboration with Dr. L. Curtis Widdoes, Jr. This involved the design of very advanced computer systems and the tools necessary to develop such systems. It is here that the structured computer-aided logic design systems (SCALD) and its automatic physical design subsystem evolved. These were then used to design the S-1 Mark IIA, a uniprocessor said to attain to performance level of a Cray 1.
He helped Widdoes found Valid Logic Systems in 1981 and served as a consultant to that company, while at the same time continuing as Technical Director of the S-1 Project until 1983. He then assumed his current assignment at Valid on a full-time basis so that he could devote his energies to the advancement of SCALD, and the increase of simulation speeds through both hardware and software acceleration techniques.
McWilliams was elected to Eta Kappa Nu and Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering societies, and belongs both to the Association of Computing Machinery and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Earlier in his career, he was a recipient of a Bausch and Lomb Science and Math award, and also an Everard M. Williams Scholarship award.
Lawrence Curtis Widdoes, Jr. was born in St. Louis, Missouri on January 19, 1952. He received his B.S. in Engineering and Applied Science from the California Institute of Technology in June, 1973 and his Ph.D. in Computer Science in December, 1980 from Stanford University, where he won the 1981 Fannie and John Hertz award for the best Ph.D. thesis. While working on his Ph.D. at Stanford, he also held a Fannie and John Hertz Foundation fellowship. Among his other academic honors at Caltech were the Joseph MacPherson Prize in Engineering, in 1973, the Jack E. Froelich Memorial Award and the Honeywell Award in 1972, and a Sloan scholarship, 1969-1973.
As an undergraduate, Dr. Widdoes worked on pre-launch ground-support software at the Space Radiation Laboratory, and on the REL Language System, in the REL Project at the California Institute of Technology. Later at Stanford, before he collaborated with Dr. McWilliams on the S-1 Project, he worked at the Digital Systems Laboratory on the Minerva Project, a multi-microprocessor research computer, which he designed and implemented.
In November of 1975, he and McWilliams founded the S-1 Project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and between October, 1978 and July, 1980, they shared the technical directorship of that project. Between 1978 and 1980 Widdoes also services as Assistant Professor in Residence in the Computer Science Department at the University of California at Berkeley where he taught courses in advanced computer design and conducted and supervised research in that area. Then, in order to devote himself fully to the SCALD project, he resigned both positions and took over full responsibility for the S-1 SCALD group. In March, 1981, Dr. Widdoes left the S-1 Project and founded Valid Logic Systems, Inc. becoming Vice President of Engineering.
Since March, 1983 Widdoes serves as Vice President and Chief Scientist of his company, where he is concentrating his efforts in the area of advanced simulation techniques for very complex VLSI customer chips. He has fled four patent applications on this most recent work.

Hello, I'm Patrick Padgen, an MSW/MPH (Masters of Social Work/Masters of Public Health) student at NYU and current intern with GLSEN's community initiatives department. I wanted to be a part of GLSEN since I arrived in NYC around two years ago, as I have always respected the work they do and the message they put forth. Over ten years ago, while obtaining my BSW (Bachelors of Social Work), I started an initiative, called Allies, in Montreal to do in-class workshops in high schools. Quite similar to Ally Week, the objective was to provide strategies and motivation to become allies to LGBT youth and take an active stance against oppression. Since then I have found myself all over the world working to improve livelihoods, specifically of LGBT people and their friends, families, and allies, as well as fighting injustice-from DC, where I worked with people living with HIV/AIDS, to the villages of Malawi where I saw how LG men and women struggled with discrimination and poverty; to the islands of Hawai'i, where I saw the troubling intersection of mental illness and HIV. Since I was a teenager, I have understood that my own sense of liberation and freedom was bound by that of those around me. That until everyone was free, no one was free. I am thrilled to be at GLSEN, working to stem homophobia and bullying in high schools and to provide a sense of freedom and safety to a nation of youth struggling with identity and acceptance. Patrick will be interning from August 2012 to May 2013, supporting the community initiatives department in working with chapters & programs.
Ashton Rose
Student Milford, Ohio
Last year I entered my first year at Milford High School as a trans-identified student. I had left my other school because of bullying so severe I had to be withdrawn from my classes. As a transgender guy, I use male pronouns. But my Milford teachers did not respect my identity and referred to me as "she" and "her." They also did not call me Ashton and instead used the name that I do not like but is still attached to my legal documentation. I initially thought most of the teachers were transphobic and probably just hated me until I realized that most of the school staff didn't even know what the word transgender meant. I came to the conclusion that I needed to give Milford educators a presentation to help them better understand transgender and gender non-conforming issues; by educating them I'm preventing teachers at my school from unknowingly hurting other students like me in the future. One incident at school that really struck me was when I was in math class; it was the second week of school and I did not know all my teachers that well. My math teacher was young leading me to believe he would likely be more accepting than most of my other teachers. I was sitting in class and went to raise my hand to answer a question when he pointed at me and said, "Yes sir?" I was about to answer but a student shouted out, "That's a girl." He looked somewhat uncomfortable, maybe even embarrassed and responded, "Whatever it is." I was shocked and terribly hurt at his use of the word "it" and the way he handled the situation.
The situation turned me off from talking to my teachers and identifying supportive staff. I had no hope in finding a supportive teacher or even one I could trust. Another thing, that I often dread even now, is finding a bathroom I can use with the least amount of hassle. Obviously using the male bathroom would be virtually impossible and something that could get me expelled. Conversely, entering the girl's bathroom isn't the most convenient either. There was one time when I walked into the girl's restroom and immediately was given weird looks by a group girls standing at the mirror. I entered a stall quickly and the girls immediately began snickering and saying things about me being 'disgusting' and 'strange.' Before I left I washed my hands and as I was walking out I heard one girl say, "That thing shouldn't be allowed in here." Ultimately it ruined the rest of the week for me. After that incident with the bathrooms I decided to see my school counselor. I figured it was inevitable that I come out to her. And I found myself surprised when she focused on helping me feel safer in school. Afterwards I went to see her every week. I expressed my fear of coming out to my teachers and them not treating me as a student, but she was quick to offer me many alternatives. One day the counselor called me down to her office and told me she had someone she wanted me to meet. She introduced me to an openly gay teacher at school with a wonderful partner and adopted twins! We spoke for a while and I started feeling better. Once I discovered that I had support in my school I realized that I needed to take action. After a four day summit as a GLSEN Student Ambassador, I found other adults and resources that could help me make my school a better place for trans students. It really empowered me and I was soon very excited to make my way back to my high school with new support and confidence. I knew I could work with GLSEN to put a presentation together and educate my teachers because being in the dark about these subjects can really hurt other trans students in their quest to come out. Not only did I have the help of GLSEN, I had a new outlook on teachers that would support me in the midst of my push for teacher training. And I realized that educating my teachers could help me advocate for a trans-inclusive school policy. Creating a trans-inclusive school policy would make my school safer and more affirming for students like me. I want to focus on my class work and the year ahead instead of worrying about what pronouns my teachers use towards me, whether or not I can go to the bathroom at school without experiencing harassment or even what clothes I can wear that I feel most comfortable in. I simply want to do well in school and figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. And I believe I can get there with my school's support.

Rich Espey
Middle School Teacher Baltimore, Maryland
When you teach Middle School students you need to expect the unexpected! This year, as I look forward to another year as co-advisor to The Park School of Baltimore's Middle School GSA (for information and resources on starting your own GSA, check out GLSEN's Jump Start program), I can't wait to see what great project ideas our students will come up with. Last year our GSA began by creating a "Question of the Month" bulletin board, posting queries like "Why don't straight people have to come out?" and "What are the 'rules' for girls and boys in our school and what happens if someone breaks them?" Along with each displayed question were slips of paper for people to leave anonymous written responses in our rainbow-decorated box, a box which filled quickly with (mostly) thoughtful replies. Each month's contents were summarized and posted on the bulletin board along with a new question. What a great way to promote thoughtful hallway discussion and increase LGBT visibility! Later in the year our GSA decided to sponsor a mock referendum in anticipation of Maryland's coming referendum on same-sex marriage legislation (passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by the Governor in March, 2012). After an informative student-led assembly explaining both the issue and the referendum process, our rainbow box was once again put to work! The results? Ninety-one percent of our student body voted in favor of upholding the law entitling same-sex couples the right to civil marriage. I sincerely believe that the work my colleagues at Park have done to include age-appropriate presentations of gender and sexuality diversity across the curriculum played a role in that landslide. So what's next? The LGBT History Timeline we didn't quite have time to get off the ground last year? Advocacy supporting pending transgender anti-discrimination legislation? I don't know! But I do know my colleagues and I will listen carefully to our students and support their needs and interests. I'll wager that in this school year we'll find new ways to keep thinking, talking and learning about gender and sexuality diversity – and we'll get even closer to creating that ideal environment of safety and inclusion for all. Middle Schoolers never cease to surprise and amaze me. I'm expecting the unexpected – thank goodness that's something I can count on!

Christopher Murray
High School Social Studies Teacher and Coach Bethesda, Maryland
2012 marked my first year where I made a strong stance on LGBT equality in my school and county. For years I have had the Safe Space poster on display and have had activities for the National Day of Silence and Ally Week. But last year I made it my mission to bring the Changing the Game GLSEN Sports Project: Team Respect Challenge to our school. This easy to administer, but very meaningful pledge emphasizes to our student-athletes how important respect is both on the field of athletics and within the school setting. To date we have had all of our winter and spring teams willingly sign the pledge and we should have every team signed by September 1st! I can tell you from experience that when you present the pledge your athletes will buy in to the concept of respect for all. I have seen player hold other players more accountable for their word choice because of the pledge and witnessed team chemistry grow from the pledge. The GLSEN Sports Project needs to be implemented on ALL teams, and LGBT respect should be as important to a coach and athletic program as practice is.

MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, Md., April 26, 2013 — Last week, among several newsworthy events, notably the terrorist attack in Boston, we learned of the explosion of a fertilizer plant in West, Texas. The explosion killed 14 and destroyed a significant portion of the town. Most of the victims were first responders. While the investigation is still being conducted, there appears to be some facts that make many scratch their heads and wonder whether this is the 21st century.
Twenty years ago the United Agency for International Development (USAID) was asked by the city of Quito, Ecuador to conduct a risk assessment on a liquefied natural gas storage facility within the city limits. The experts sent by USAID presented a report that indicated having such facility within the city limits was dangerous and that the facility should be relocated.
One of the factors was that there were residences, shops and schools within the blast area of the LNG storage facility.
Typical of urban sprawl in the absence of regulations and/or enforcement, a very densely development had grown around the facility after it had been constructed. One speculates that workers wanted to live near their work. Ecuador was and still is a developing country, but it implemented measures to prevent explosions and fire risk to its citizens.
On April 16, 1947, in the port of Texas City, Texas near Galveston, a ship full of fertilizer (NH4NO3, ammonium nitrate) exploded. The blast and the subsequent fires killed around 600 and injured an additional 3,500. To this day it remains the worst industrial disaster in U. S. history. Yet the state of Texas does not appear to have learned anything from the infamous 1947 episode and appears even more backward than a third world country.
The explosion in the town of West and what it reveals about its zoning practices is nothing short of disconcerting. Not only were there residences, but also a nursing home and three schools that could and were impacted by the blast from the fertilizer plant. To paraphrase a couple of old movies, "Nukes? We don't need stinking nukes in Texas, we got plenty of fertilizer plants."
Anyone that has visited our country's Western states knows of their libertarian attitude toward restrictions to the lives of their citizens, especially the use of property (e.g. zoning laws). In many places there is either the absence of zoning regulations or the absence of enforcement.
While there is always the possibility of going too far with them, zoning regulations are designed to take advantage of geography, topography, special features, and other natural and manmade local characteristics. The intended result is a more logical use of the land, beautification of the surroundings and most notably safety.
In the East, there is no way that a munitions factory or any other dangerous plant can be placed in the middle of a residential area. Having a fertilizer plant with tons of explosive fertilizer and other dangerous chemicals is similar to having a munitions factory.
Individualism and friendly attitude toward business are well-known characteristics of the state of Texas. These have served the state well during hard economic times. Statistics from the recent economic depression show that Texas gained more jobs than any other state during the current recovery. Governor Perry boasted about this fact during his failed campaign for the GOP candidacy.
What we haven't heard from Perry or any other Texas official is what the state is going to do to prevent an encore to the fertilizer plant explosion. Chances are that in the improbable case that the plant owners are legally punished for their role in the catastrophe, business as usual will continue in the state.
It is possible that the cause of the fire and explosions will be attributed to violations by the plant operators or even an Act of God. Don't expect that Texas will violate its long history of individualism, friendliness to business and libertarianism and actually blame the state's practices and poor safety procedures by the plant owners for the catastrophe.
If governor Perry wants to leave a lasting legacy in the state after he leaves office, he should ask the state legislature to make sure all urban centers in the state, small, medium and large, have zoning laws that protect the citizens. Additionally, that all environmental, zoning and job safety regulations be fully enforced. It's one thing being friendly to business, but it's another putting the safety of its citizens, especially first responders, at risk.

County Executive Leopold Vetoes Zoning Amendment Opposed by Citizen and Environmental Groups
|Special treatment for developer rejected. The zoning legislation was also opposed by the Anne Arundel County League of Conservation Voters.
Annapolis, MD (September 24, 2010) - County Executive John R. Leopold today vetoed a zoning amendment that would grant special treatment to a developer and allow the 300-acre Arundel Gateway project to bypass zoning procedures.
Citizens interests trump special interests in this Administration, County Executive Leopold said. I am proud to join the Generals Highway Council of Civic Associations, the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters and concerned citizens in opposition to this zoning amendment. I am also pleased that Councilman Jamie Benoit, who represents the district that includes this project, has consistently opposed this amendment.
If approved, the amendment passed by the County Council would have created a new mixed-use zone allowing construction of the project, a development of retail, offices and 1,600 homes near Fort George G. Meade. To view all pending rezoning applications, go to http://www.aacounty.org/PlanZone/LongRange/CompZone.cfm.
While I consider Arundel Gateway to be a good project, it is not fair to rush the approval of a zoning change for one property, County Executive Leopold said. The County has received hundreds of similar requests, and this sort of spot zoning is bad policy.
As the Office of Law noted, the amendment effectively rezones specific parcels of land in a manner that violates well-established principles of law intended to preserve the integrity of the zoning process and the rights of citizens protected by that process.

Aspen Adventure Ski Camp
If you've ever wanted to learn more about backcountry skiing while gaining a new outlook on adventure skiing, an opportunity awaits.
International mountain guide, certified ski instructor & guest author Jean Pavillard will be hosting an adventure ski camp in January 2013 in Aspen, Colorado.
The ski camp will emphasize all mountain ski tactics and techniques that will allow skiers to improve ski skills in any type of snow or condition.
"I want to give skiers an opportunity to be the best, ski with confidence and understand the mountains. I want to teach skiers the critical skills to allow them to safely tackle any lines within their reach. After many years skiing in-bounds and out-of-bounds around the world and training future mountain guides, teaching skiers, leading ski tours from the Alps to Japan to Colorado and South America, I still love sharing my expertise, knowledge and love for the sport and I am looking forward to boosting the participants' skills and making a difference in each skier's ability.
Skiing gives us an opportunity to challenge ourself, strengthen our muscles, keeping us flexible and constantly keeping us alert as we are dealing with gravity, changing condition, obstacles. We need to adjust our tactic, techniques very fast in order to ski a line smoothly. All this happens in an incredibly beautiful setting that require respect, awareness, abilities, knowledge."

Our #WeWantSex Twitter Party was nothing if not spicy: iVillage's Liz Zack (@lizardzack) and sexperts Ian Kerner (@goodinbed), Fawn Weaver (@happywivesclub), Michelle Dozois (@howaboutwe), Celeste Holbrooke (@pure_romance) dished on the surprising results of iVillage's new Married Sex Survey. And over 500 Twitter followers tweeted everything from what turns them on to creative ways to initiate sex. Needless to say, it was informative!
Here are the top five things we learned:
1. Set Sex Goals
To make sure there's enough time for a healthy sex life, @beeacutie2 sets "sex goals" with her husband each month. "This month we are doing 29 days of intimacy where every day we have to do something -- a kiss, love note, sex, etc," she said. Whether you commit to get busy six times a month or find new ways to express your desire, set the bar high. Think of how much fun it will be to surpass your goal.
2. Have Ninja Sex
Raise your hand if you've put your kids in front of Sesame Street and ran to the bedroom with your hubby to get in some action before they realize you're gone. According to our survey, nearly 40 percent of moms with kids under ten have! @KaratewithaZ calls this sneaky quickie Ninja Sex: "You can still have fun when you have kids. It's called getting creative!" To get the most out of your Ninja Sex, @lizardzack suggests utilizing the morning hours before the kids wake up and @goodinbed says to put them to bed earlier so you can get to bed earlier, too. @happywivesclub says "ninja sex" can be a sexy preview to having really incredible sex when there's more time.
3. Take the Lead
Though one third of married women in the survey say they're regularly in the mood to have sex with their hubby, only 13 percent initiate getting down. @patspureromance says "If it is hard for you to initiate, try thinking of all the things your partner loves about you! Your ego will soar!" You're still the sexiest woman in his life, before and after baby.
4. Don't Downplay Date Night
Between soccer games and ballet practice, grocery shopping and long work hours -- it can be easy to flake out on making time for the two of you. But @howaboutwe says you have to make alone time a priority: "Date nights are super-important, maybe the most important activity for couples." Hire a babysitter for a night (or bring in a relative!), share some wine and remember why you fell in love with each other. It'll get you revved up for loving later.
5. Do It When You're Tired
Fifty-three percent of moms with kids under 10 reported stress and exhaustion as the biggest killers of their libido. But even if you can't imagine lifting a finger, much less getting something else to rise to the occasion, @jessicaSdukes challenges you to go at it anyway: "Just give him 10 little ol' minutes, anyway! You'll, like, be his hero."

Massive Landslide of Claims to PCT's as Care Home Fees Rise
Care home fees are subject to increase in the future if the NHS is forced to remove covering almost £2 billion in annual bills for care homes.
The NHS Confederation stated that costs cannot be diverted in the long term, which may lead to increases in fees for those needing continuing care.
Jo Webber, who is a policy director for the NHS Confederation stated "The health service cannot keep on picking up the pieces of a broken social care system."
Current UK rules dictate that any person with assets totalling more than £23,500 is made to cover the entire amount of care home fees. Last year alone saw almost 25,000 people having to sell their property to cover such costs.
Some people feel these amounts are unjustified. One woman in Salisbury is currently attempting to claim £170,000 pounds in compensation after her mother had to sell her home to cover care home costs. This home sold for £150,000, but due to the care demanded as a result of her mother having dementia and diabetes, the fees equate to almost £800 a week. That money is almost gone.
Cheselden, who specialise in helping reclaim legitimate wrongly paid care home fees, has learnt that PCT's across England have had a massive response to news of last Sundays cut off for claims up to March 21 2011. The NHS has declared that any claims before this date that have not been registered will not be reviewed. However Cheselden believes this cut-off will be challenged and will continue to lodge claims where their review teams support a claim.
Colin Ball of Cheselden says: 'PCT's have been inundated with claims from families and non-specialist firms who are making a claim 'just in case' – this will clog up the system. PCT's are obliged to carry out a check list on all cases, however we believe the Welsh system is the right one, where those families represented by solicitors or other companies have to submit a detailed chronological claim explaining why they are claiming in detail.
This should deter the 'slips and trips' claims management companies who are often charging unsuspecting families for services when they have no idea if there is a justified claim on healthcare grounds. Now everyone has to remember that from March 2011 there is now another cut – off.'
Claims wanting to be made for dates between 1st April 2011 – 31st March 2012 have a deadline of 31st March 2013

How do I get over his feelings?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 11:00am
Hi, I'm new here and I'm trying to get some help dealing with the affair that my husband had on me. Right now, I have decided that I want to work on this and hope that I can get through this and move forward. I don't think anyone really knows what to feel when this happens to them and at least for me, most of my feelings I'm questioning them to see if they are "normal" and "justified". I think that is where this can help me, see if other women dealing with the same thing are feeling the same way and how they dealt with it.
Here is a quick summary of my story. I have been with my husband for 5 years, married for 3. We have a 2 year old daughter. We got married in Sept, bought a house in January and moved in with my mother for 7 months (Jan – Aug) while the house was being renovated. Our daughter was born in May. These are some of the issues that led up to our marriage falling apart. I take 50% responsibility to what led up to the affair. It was the typical lack of communication. He wanted more passion, I wanted more emotional connection. He would show me his idea of "LOVE" which is sex, and I would show him my idea of "LOVE" which is being taken care of. Both of us were trying, but neither one of use seen the other trying because they weren't trying the way that they needed. We know that know and are working on it.
Just before Christmas 2012 we had hired an electrical apprentice (I own an electrical company with my husband) and it was a young female (22 years). I'm 30 and my husband is 32. I had no problem with this hire, if my daughter wanted to become an electrician I would hope someone would give her a job and not turn her down because she is a women. At the end of February, by husband started to get involved in her personal life, she just broke up with her fiancé so he went to her place to change her locks for her. She needed help to get her roommates to move out because they weren't paying their bills. Then one night she texted him to tell him that she wouldn't be into work because she went to talk to her ex and she got her truck stuck. My husband was more upset that she went after the ex and not the fact that she was missing work. That struck me as odd and I asked him to remove himself from her personal life as I was feeling uneasy. He told me he felt protective of her and she had no friends or family around and he is all she has. He became close with her and started to talk to her about our problems in our relationship and what he was missing and all the stuff I did to piss him off. She became his best friend. Then he said he needed some time away to think. He moved out for 4 days. He came back, we talked about our issues and said we wanted to work this out. A week later my husband was taking a planned road trip to go pick up a car that he bought in the fall. It was a long trip (5 days) and I asked if I could come. This was a good time to just have some alone time, have fun, no kid, just fall in love again. Well he didn't like that idea and we got into a fight. He didn't come home that night. The next day he took off for his road trip and never said goodbye. I had a bad feeling about it and went to HER house and found my husband's truck in her driveway behind her Apartment. I called him and asked him if she was with her, he said yes, I asked if they were sleeping together, he said no, and then he ignored me for the rest of the trip. I packed all of his stuff up and had it ready to kick him out when he came home if he choose her over me. I wanted to believe what he was saying and wanted to work this out. He came home and we talked for hours, made up and were going to move on. We decided that he would move into our summer home for a bit while we work this out and date each other and fall back in love. We have no cable or internet at our second house so I asked him to stay away from HER while we work through this and that is when he told me he was actually going to stay in her spare room a couple nights a week. 3 days later, he told me we were done. 3 days after that, we were working it out, then 2 days later he started to ignore me again. Then 5 days after that we started talking again. This whole time I'm giving everything I have to save this marriage. Then one day SHE was away for the weekend and he spent the weekend with me. He left his phone alone and went outside so I looked at it. He was texting her that he LOVED HER and he missed her and he couldn't wait till she got home tonight. He was typing this as we were "working" it out. I called him out on it and said it was me or her. I think he chose me.
This is where I am having the problem. I feel like I had to convince him to choose me. After we talked about everything, he said he didn't love her, but once they had sex she pulled out the I Love You card and since he was living at her place, he needed to go with it or he would have nowhere to stay. He said that he got played. Looking back on it, she knew exactly what to do to get him because he has been telling her everything that is wrong in our relationship. Then once she "had" him she changed and he didn't like the "new" her and wanted out, but didn't know how to. Needless to say, she no longer works for me, started to harass me, even tried to bribe me for $10,000 to keep her mouth shut. She sent me graphic texts and pictures of their relationship. It was a great time in my life. So now I'm trying to pick my life back up and move on. But here are some of the stumbling blocks that I'm trying to overcome and need to know if this is normal and how to get through it.
First I'm not sure if he wants to be with me or he has nowhere else to go. He didn't choose me over her, he realized she wasn't what he wanted and I was there willing to take him back. If I didn't find out about the affair and told him to chose, would we be together? He didn't realize I was better than her, he just realized her didn't want her at that time. We even talked about it and he said he wasn't in the right frame of mind to date anyone. If maybe he gave it 6 months before he started dating her, that maybe they could have been together. So to me that means, he liked her but the timing wasn't right. So what is going to stop him in the future? He didn't come back for me. He says he did and gets upset when I try and tell him how I feel.
Second, I don't think he realizes how hurt I am and what he did. I don't know why this is such a huge deal to me but it is and I don't know if I can get over this without it. He thinks everything should be ok and that we should be back to normal. If I have something that triggers me to remember all of it, he gets mad that I'm ruining the good moment that we were just having. If he understood what he has done, he wouldn't make me feel like that. It's like he doesn't feel bad at all for it. Although he says he does, his actions aren't showing it which is what I'm having a hard time with. I want him to grovel at my feet and beg for forgiveness. But I feel like I'm the one that is doing it and it pissed me off so much! Why can't he see this! If I don't feel like he knows what he did was wrong, how can I trust that he won't do it again?
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 1:14pm
I really think that you hit the nail on the head with your last sentence here: "If I don't feel like he knows what he did was wrong, how can I trust that he won't do it again?" I can understand how your emotions are all over the place because it sounds like he couldn't even decide what he wanted to do--he's with you, he's with her, he wants to come back, then he goes back to her, etc. I understand what you are saying--you want to feel like he is sorry & he is with you cause he wants to be with you and not just cause he didn't care for the other woman that much -- so now is he just staying with you temporarily until he finds someone else that he likes better?
I think right now I would insist that the 2 of you go to marriage counseling. If he won't put in that effort, then it shows you that he doesn't care that much about saving the marriage.
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 2:19pm
We are doing the marriage counseling but this is all still so new (I found out on April 28) so we haven't had too many sessions. I'm also seeing someone on my own to help me deal with what is going on. She seems to think from what I have told her about him, that he is just a "man" and they can't express themselves emotionally. Just because he isn't showing you what you need right now, doesn't mean he isn't feeling it. So how long do I wait to see if he can share his feelings, or realize that they aren't even there and stop wasting my time?
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 2:41pm
Well I think that using the excuse that he's a man & can't share his feelings is b.s. Some people aren't as expressive as others but you can look at his actions. If he's looking & and texting other women and not paying attention to you, then it's clear that he doesn't care. How is he showing you that he's sorry about this and won't do it again?
|Mon, 06-10-2013 - 9:05pm
Have you told him that you want him to grovel and beg for forgiveness? Maybe not in those exact words, but have you said that you need him to prove to you that he wants to be with you, to demonstrate that he is willing to do whatever it takes to rebuild the marriage? Have you given him any specific examples of what he can do?
Do you believe that he really doesn't understand what he did wrong? It sounds more like he just wants to ignore it and hope it will go away, that he doesn't want to deal with your emotions or accept responsibility for what he did. But that doesn't mean that he doesn't "get it".
When a person is truly sorry and wants to make amends, they are usually willing to do whatever it takes to be forgiven and to prove that they won't make the mistake again.
IMO you are completely justified in being angry that he is not doing more to show he's sorry, show that he wants to rebuild the marriage. Actions do speak louder than words.

having an affair is a selfish act
in my humble opinon - and in my experience
he is still thinking mainly about himself, and he will very likely do this again
this does not sound like an either or situation
this seems to me like a 2 is better than one getting high on thrill ego based person (I am married to one and he has had several affairs - I have been on this board for many years0
be wary keep your eyes open
peace and strength to you

I could go on for hours with you about this (my situation was very similar to yours with the back and forth), so I will try to keep it brief. I spent the weeks following my discovery doing nothing but reading books, articles, websites, etc. trying to grasp what I was feeling and what the "normal" process of this experience was. The one thing that really was an eye-opener for me was reading that it takes the affair partner 3-6 months AFTER they've ended the affair and cut off all communication to snap back into their marriage (and see the affair relationship for what it was). I know that isn't very comforting this early on in your ordeal, and I'm sorry you have to go through this. It took my soon-to-be-ex-husband almost a year to "snap out of it" and realize he had basically lost his marriage by being an a** (excuse the language). I had to deal with a miserable, mean, and nasty man (who had an affair!) for almost a year after I found out, and it was absolutely terrible and difficult to get through it, especially while trying to rebuild a marriage. In the end, it showed me who he really was, and I am now working my way out of the situation.
You need some time - for yourself, for your marriage. He should be an open book right now, allowing you access to his email account, phone, computers, etc. He should not be communicating with her on ANY level or for ANY reason. He should be doing everything in his power to relieve your stress and anxiety so you can deal with this (i.e. taking care of the house, bills, kids, responsibilities, etc.) - BUT he is a man, and you have to tell him these things in a simple, basic way (not during a fight or shouting it at him).
After I found out about my husband's affair, I was (understandably) devastated - so much so that I could not get out of bed for almost two months. I worked from home at the time, and I couldn't work - I couldn't function - and he moved out with kind of a "screw you" as far as the bills and such went. After two months of arguing, bickering, etc., he blew up at me and told me I needed to "get over it and work out my feelings if we were going to get back together". I stared for a few minutes and said to him, "How can I do that when every ounce of energy I have goes to worrying about the bills being paid?" It was the first time he realized what a douche he had been and had no idea what I was really going through. For him, he was relieved when I found out about his A - all his guilt about everything was out in the open and he wasn't hiding anything. It was just the beginning of my battle - something I don't think he ever fully appreciated.
My whole point there (sorry for the sidetrack), was that some men just don't get it - they don't understand what you're going through and you have to be very clear with him when you do talk about it. If his actions aren't improving over the next few months and he's not trying to be a real father and husband, then you'll know for sure he hasn't changed and this will happen again.

You can't trust him. So many of us in the same boat, even a similar boat, are IN the same boat as far as the trust issue goes. Right now you are in nowhere land, not knowing what's in the guy's head. IF he wants your relationship - IF he truly "chooses you" - she has to go, permanently. If he's torn on who to choose, why would you stay in that situation? It's insulting, it hurts like he!!, to know he's off trying to choose between you. He was already supposed to have MADE that decision by marrying you. He has very very weak boundaries, if he has any at all, otherwise no affair would have happened. Quit taking blame for that - it was HIS decision, not yours. Unless you agreed to an open marriage, you had no role in him making the conscious choice to cheat. If your marriage was troubled before, then yes, you both had a role in it being troubled, but that's no excuse for cheating. If there are problems, you go for help - what you do NOT do is cheat. To me this is a no brainer - if he's torn, then you don't want to live together. And you need to get tested, and insist that he does the same, that's a first. Do you want to sit around hoping he'll choose you? No, you don't. He will drop her in a heartbeat if he wants things to work out, he will volunteer to go to counseling, and he will make every little corner of his life totally transparent to you from this minute on. If he's having trouble choosing, he's already chosen.

He has cut her out. She even moved out of town. I found out on a Sunday, he let her go on the Monday, and she moved back to her home town (7 hours) away on the Wednesday. He is going to counseling with me and he does let me go through all his e-mails, phone and anything else. So he is showing me that he wants to work it out that way, however, he is not following up with it. My therapist says men are very factual and that them cutting the other women out is their way of showing that they want to work it out and think that's all they need to do, and get very frustrated when we keep coming back at them to deal with this we NEED it to be dealt with. So now I'm trying to deal with this the way I need to and I have to deal with his frustration on top of it because he feels like it is over and done with because he has cut her out. He even told me it feels like I'm never going to let this go so what's the point of keep trying, which drives me crazy! So now I have to figure out to tell him what I need him to do without getting frustrated at me and making it worse.
|Fri, 06-14-2013 - 6:57pm
He is still thinking about himself - I feel for you I have been there and don't know what to say except it is like dealing with a child you have to be strong and demand what you need and don't be afraid to let him know you are not a 'given' in his life (he is not at all worried about losing you I am sure, unless it is the poor me act "I screw everything up")
There have been points where I have had to make it clear it was my way or the highway and then and only then did it seem like I had gotten through his tremendous ego and provoked real thought
He is one who messed up and made decisions that will forever change you and your marriage from the core, he is going to push you as far as he can to get what HE wants
that is really all he cares about right now still he is in a fog so to speak and does not want to acknowledge your pain or change
he wasn't thinking about you at all when he did these things
Also this has very little to do with you personally or the woman he slept with this is all about his boundaries and ego so don't get hung up on what kind of wife you have been or who she is
You could be the greatest wife ever and if it wasn't her it would have been anyone else, he wanted the attention welcomed it - sought it out at some point and made any excuse to do whatever he wanted at the time because this is all about him (the more is better line of thinking)
God Bless you and your child
stand up for yourself or noone else will
I know how hard this is it will not change in a matter of months or conversations etc. if it were that simple it would not have happened
he doesn't have to worry about the same things you do if he did he would change his tune so fast your head would spin, you are all in all there
a year or so ago (I have been married 8 years and he started ruining it 6 months in during my pregnancy) I met someone I was attracted to and I told him because I am an open book you would not believe the pain he went through that someone flirted with me and I actually had it admit I was interested (I did everything I felt was right and not so much as a kiss ever happened)
in the future should you need to bring to his mind that men are interested in you or that you would not die without him and life would go on - you could seperate you could date others
It may be the only way to get his attention off himself
I could go on and on - I do hope some/any of this is helpful - Peace

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- General Electric (GE) on Friday reported 8% organic growth for 2012.
The company reported fourth-quarter operating earnings of $4.666 billion, or 44 cents a share, beating the consensus estimate among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters of a 43-cent profit.

GE also said that all of its industrial segments "expanded margins in the quarter, with Industrial segment margins up 120 basis points over the prior-year period.

And yet he's holding firm on the theory that assessing happiness is a better way of measuring how the country's doing than gross domestic product.
As a taster of the 'happiness index' to come, the Office for National Statistics reported this month that 76 per cent of people rated themselves a seven out of 10 for how satisfied they are with their lives (where 10 was completely and nought was not at all). Not a bad result. The problem is — when you've achieved some form of measure of happiness, or any other factor with debateable definition — what do you do with that information?
Thankfully, we're not recommending you wrestle with any nebulous concepts at this busy time of year; the opposite in fact.
Instead, sticking to the practical, measurable and helpful, we ask: how happy (and performance-confident) you are with your network? And BT's offering a tangible assessment — two free-of-charge opportunities to find out how you can get more from your network, getting you in the best possible shape for profit-driven 'happiness' in the New Year.
Let BT put your network through its paces to see if you're getting the maximum out of it with a free-of-charge trial. Typically, BT Connect's performance-management solutions cut bandwidth costs by between 30 to 60 per cent, while making applications perform up to 200 times better.
And find out how your web performance measures up to your competition with a free-of-charge web-presence health check. It can tell you how well your websites are performing across the internet, from how long they take to process transactions on different browsers to how they compare with your competition.
There may be cause for eye-rolling, but only in surprise at the scope for improvement in your network's performance. Get in touch to find out more.

Title: Cute!
Date: Sep 30, 2013
This ribbon is so cute! I saw other reviews where they are using for curling. I'm using for favor bags so this will work perfect. You get a lot of ribbon for the price and again it's so cute.

Title: NOT curling Ribbon
Date: Jun 20, 2013
I bought this for a curling ribbon. But it is NOT a curling ribbon, it's grosgrain ribbon.
It is still crazy cute and I'm glad I bought it, but I could not use it for the application intended.

Articles of interest in other scholarly journals
Palliative sedation in end-of-life care and survival: a systematic review
This systematic review aimed to compare the survival of sedated and non-sedated patients and analysed 11 articles (1807 patients; 621 sedated) including four prospective and seven retrospective non-randomised studies. Sedation was most frequently used for delirium at the end of life; other common reasons were dyspnoea, pain and psychological distress. Benzodiazepines were the most common drug group used, followed by antipsychotics. This review found no difference in survival of sedated and non-sedated patients, although it recognises the lack of randomised controlled trial evidence.
The disparity between patient and nurse symptom rating in a hospice population
▸ [CrossRef][Medline]Google Scholar
Although symptom rating should be by self-report these are often completed by nurses. This study compared the simultaneous symptom ratings of patients and nurses in 64 symptom ratings from 29 patients. There was more correlation for nausea, bowels, and breathing questions, and the least for appetite. There were wide differences in reporting and nurses generally underreported symptoms. The authors concluded that as the nurses' symptom assessment only moderately correlates with patients' symptom rating, this can misrepresent the patient's symptoms and self-reporting should be used unless the patient cannot do so.
Autonomic dysfunction in patients with advanced cancer: prevalence, clinical correlates and challenges in assessment
▸ [CrossRef][Medline]Google Scholar
In a prospective cohort study the risk factors for falls in 185 ambulant adult patients with advanced cancer were evaluated. Tests of autonomic function, symptom severity and muscle strength were used as well as 10-month survival. Forty-five percent were unable to complete all of the clinical tests of autonomic function due to frailty. Seventy-five percent of participants were accurately classified, of which 80% had autonomic dysfunction. Age and severity of fatigue were associated with having autonomic dysfunction and it is associated with reduced survival.
Antidepressants to cancer patients during the last year of life: a population-based study
This study assessed the prescription of antidepressants in nearly 18 000 adults who died of cancer in Norway. Of these, 22% had been prescribed antidepressants in their last year of life (over three times that of the general population). The proportion was 20% in patients who died within a year from diagnosis and 23% in patients who had a longer duration of disease. Prescriptions increased in frequency toward death and 10% of antidepressants were prescribed for the first time in patients within 30 days of death, having questionable clinical effects.
Meta-analysis: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in biliary colic
This systematic review with meta-analysis assessed the analgesic benefits and reduction of complications, as well as the potential harms from randomised clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in biliary colic. Eleven RCTs with over 1000 subjects were included. In comparison with placebo, patients on NSAIDs were more likely to have complete pain relief and a lower rate of complications. In comparison with other drugs, NSAIDs were more efficacious in controlling pain than spasmolytics but there was no difference between NSAIDs and opioids. The authors conclude that NSAIDs are the first-line analgesic for patients with biliary colic as they control pain with the same efficacy as opioids and also reduce complications, but acknowledge the limitation of the lack of high-quality evidence with heterogeneity in the studies.
Longitudinal assessment of symptom severity among hospitalised elders diagnosed with cancer, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
▸ [CrossRef][Medline]Google Scholar
In a prospective cohort study the prevalence, severity, burden and predictors of common symptoms during hospitalisation and 2 weeks after discharge in patients over 65 with cancer, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were determined. On admission, 54% reported moderate or severe pain, 53% dyspnoea and 62% anxiety; 64% had two or more symptoms at a moderate or severe intensity. The prevalence of moderate or severe symptoms decreased by around 50% during admission and at the 2-week follow-up. There was no association between diagnosis and symptom severity at or during admission but at 2 weeks more patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had moderate or severe pain, dyspnoea and symptom burden compared with those with cancer or heart failure.
Emergency department visits for symptoms experienced by oncology patients: a systematic review
▸ [CrossRef][Medline][Web of Science]Google Scholar
This systematic review explored symptoms caused by cancer and its treatment at presentation to the emergency department. It included six prospective and 12 retrospective studies. Twenty-eight symptoms were reported, the most common being febrile neutropenia, infection, pain, fever and dyspnoea, although symptom definitions were inconsistent. Sixteen studies reported admission rates and showed that on average 58% of patients were admitted to hospital. Eleven studies reported mortality rates and showed an average of 13% (in multi-symptom studies) and 20% (in targeted symptoms studies) of emergency department presentations resulted in death.
Diagnosis and management of people with venous thromboembolism and advanced cancer: how do doctors decide? A qualitative study
▸ [CrossRef][Medline]Google Scholar
Using think aloud exercises and interviews of oncologists, palliative physicians and general practitioners, this study explored why clinicians did not always use low molecular weight heparin for cancer associated thrombosis despite high-level evidence. It found that clinicians are concerned with the patients' prognosis, increased bleeding risk and burden of self-injection. Furthermore, the diagnosis and management of cancer-associated thrombosis can be complex and should be individualised on the risks/benefit for the patient. It was also found that, logistic and organisational issues also influenced investigation and treatment with low molecular weight heparin and the authors suggest that services are optimised to ensure that these do not hinder the appropriate investigation and management of patients.
Dissociable influences of opiates and expectations on pain
The relationship between expectations and opioid analgesia were evaluated in healthy volunteers using a thermal pain model. Remifentanil was administered and participants' knowledge of drug delivery was manipulated using an open–hidden design. Although remifentanil and expectancy both reduced pain, the effects of remifentanil on pain and functional MRI (fMRI) activity did not interact with expectancy. fMRI activity showed opioid-induced modulation during open and hidden conditions, with no differences in the effect of opioid caused by expectation, which followed a different time course from the opioid. The authors conclude that opioids and placebo influence pain reports and fMRI activity but that the effects of opioids and expectations did not interact.
Comparative health care use patterns of people with schizophrenia near the end of life: a population-based study in Manitoba, Canada
Using the data repository at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, the health care services, including palliative care, accessed for patients with and without schizophrenia in the last 6 months of life were compared. Compared with a matched cohort, patients with schizophrenia were over twice as likely to be in a nursing home and for over twice as long, they had more visits to general practitioners and psychiatrists but had fewer visits to other specialists, including palliative care and were less likely to be prescribed opioids, indicating poor end-of-life care for patients with schizophrenia.

Christianity / people / old testament characters / abihu
Who was Abihu?
Abihu was the second son of Aaron by Elisheba (Exo. 6:23; Num. 3:2).
With Aaron, Nadab, and the 70 elders, he accompanied Moses up Sinai to a limited distance (Exo. 24:1).
On his death by fire from heaven, in punishment for offering strange fire.
A standing example of that divine wrath which shall consume all who offer God devotion kindled at any other save the one Altar and Offering of Calvary, whereby "He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified."

Dana Michael Harsell is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration. He has been at the University of North Dakota since 2005. He teaches courses in American government and public administration. Dana has taught classes at both Syracuse University and Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY. Dr. Harsell holds a BA in political science and psychology and an MA in political science, both from the University of Montana, and a PhD in political science from Syracuse University.
Dana's research interests include administrative reform, government performance and accountability, and public management. While at Syracuse, Dana helped analyze the managerial capacity of county and municipal levels of government for the Government Performance Project and The New Jersey Initiative. His dissertation investigated the complex relationship between career managers and political appointees in federal agencies and found that recent government reform efforts have enhanced these relationships by smoothing the often-stressful transition of principal leadership, creating a common language between career managers and political appointees, and promoting more substantively meaningful policymaking by increasing collaboration between these two executive branch actors. A summary of the findings can be found in a report issued by the IBM Center for the Business of Government.
