The CMU Black Hole
August 6, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Muslims Isolated in special US prisons
By Karin Friedemann, Muslim Media News Service (MMNS)
Not much is known about the new federal prisons called Communications Management Units (CMUs), that house primarily Muslims and political activists, except that they are located in Terre Haute, Indiana and Marion, Illinois. Although the US government refuses to disclose the list of prisoners to the public, inmates include Enaam Arnaout, founder of Islamic charity Benevolence International Foundation, Dr. Rafil Dhafir, physician and founder of Iraqi charity Help the Needy, Ghassan Elashi, founder of Holy Land Foundation and CAIR Dallas, Randall Royer, Muslim civil rights activist, Yassin Aref, imam and Kurdish refugee, Sabri Benkahla, an American who was abducted the day before his wedding while studying in Saudi Arabia, and John Walker Lindh, an American convert to Islam who was captured in Afghanistan, plus some non-Muslim political activists. Most of these prisoners were falsely accused of terrorist offenses and then imprisoned for lesser charges but given sentences meant for serious terrorism-related crimes.
Carmen Hernandez, president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers said, "The primary problem with the opening of (the CMU) is that no one knows the criteria used to send the person imprisoned to that unit." What the prisoners have in common is that they were well disciplined, studious, and often religious compared to those in the general prison population, they maintain strong commitments to various causes, and for some reason the government wants to keep them separate, to restrict their communication with the outside world.
Prison officials claim, "By concentrating resources in this fashion, it will greatly enhance the agency's capabilities for language translation, content analysis and intelligence sharing."
Attorney Paul Hetznecker stated, "These Communication Management Units are an expansion of a continued war on dissent in this country… of using that word "terrorism" to push a political agenda and to really dominate and to control–attempt to control these social movements."
Andy Stepanian, an animal rights activist who is the first to be released from a CMU, called it "a prison within the actual prison." He said that the prisoners "are not there because they harmed anyone. They're not there because they approach anything that most reasonable people would consider even close to being terrorism."
He further stated, "From what I observed, about 70 percent of the men that were there were Muslim and had questionable cases that were labeled as either extremist or terrorist cases. But when I grew to meet them, I realized that the cases were, in fact, very different… what it appears to be is that they don't want people that are either considered to be fundamentalist in Islam or more devout than your average American in Islam to be circulating amidst the regular prison populace in the Bureau of Prisons. Whatever their objective in doing so, I mean, that would have to come from the Bureau of Prisons. But one can surmise it's because they don't want the spread of Islam in the prisons or that they're trying to silence communications from these individuals, because perhaps their cases are in question themselves, and they don't want to allow them access to the media."
He concluded, "At the end of this prison sentence, … I'll look back on the fact that I had a tremendous opportunity to meet people from different cultures, to be exposed to the Islamic world and understand that it's not something to be feared, it's not something to be vilified."
Daniel McGowan, a non-Muslim political activist in "Little Guantanamo" wrote: "The most painful aspect of this unit, to me, is how the CMU restricts my contact with the world beyond these walls. It is difficult for those who have not known prison to understand what a lifeline contact with our family and friends is to us. It is our link to the world — and our future (for those of us who are fortunate enough to have release dates)."
The US houses 2.3 million domestic prisoners. Conditions are far worse in some of the other prisons. Within the CMU, Muslim prisoners are at least safe from violence.
However, the discrimination against prisoners at CMUs, in addition to the severe limitations on visits, phone calls and letters, includes a lack of access to vocational training and paying jobs that are available to other prisoners. More than half of the men face deportation after their release, and the difficulty in obtaining law books makes it difficult to prepare for an immigration hearing.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) recently filed lawsuits on behalf of several prisoners challenging the CMUs' "violation of federal laws requiring public scrutiny" as well as the prison's restrictions of Islamic group prayer. This legal struggle must be supported by increased activism on the outside to demand the release of the innocent either falsely convicted or intimidated into pleading guilty to bogus charges.

Still: Secret Bush-Era Prisons
August 6, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By John C. Trang, New America Media (NAM)
NAM Editor's Note: Muslims make up 70 percent of inmates in two prisons the George W. Bush regime clandestinely established in the Midwest between 2006 and 2008.
Despite President Barack Obama's declaration that the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam, government practices suggest otherwise.
In June, the ACLU filed complaints against the U.S. Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for illegally establishing secret prisons called Communications Management Units, or CMUs. The ACLU also alleged unconstitutional restrictions on Muslim inmates' right to religious freedom. As a law student investigating the CMUs, the existence of these secret prisons trouble me.
The first CMU was clandestinely established in late 2006 at the federal prison facility in Terre Haute, Ind. In 2008, another CMU was established in Marion, Ill. According to the government, CMUs were created to "house inmates who, due to their current offense of conviction, offense conduct or other verified information, require increased monitoring of communication between inmates and persons in the community in order to protect the safety, security, and orderly operations of Bureau facilities and protect the public."
Sounds mundane, right? But the fact is CMUs are a palpable and disconcerting product of xenophobia and the war on terrorism. Concocted during the Bush administration, CMUs are alarmingly reminiscent of McCarthy-era practices and the Japanese American internment camps.
Although the number of inmates placed at the CMUs has not exceeded 40, around 70 percent are Muslim. The likelihood of finding another prison in the United States with similar proportions of Muslim inmates is zero. There is only one other facility under U.S. jurisdiction with similar demographics: Guantanamo Bay.
With such a high proportion of Muslim inmates, civil rights groups expressed concern about constitutional violations of equal protection. BOP officials deny CMU placement is based on religious identity. According to one government document, criteria for CMU placement includes continued misuse/abuse of approved communication privileges; history of judicial threats; and being convicted of, or associated with, involvement in terrorism. This odd mix of criteria that warrants CMU placement is applicable to hundreds of the incarcerated. Therefore, how and why specific inmates are chosen for CMU placement remains unclear.
Unlike other prisons in the United States, information about CMUs remains scarce. Few publicly available government documents mention "Communications Management Unit." The secrecy is increased by restrictions on inmates' communications. All communications to and from inmates are examined. If a message is not approved, it is never transmitted. In fact, in some respects CMU inmates – all of who are categorized as low to medium risk–have more restrictive conditions than inmates categorized with higher security risk levels.
While the government describes CMUs in innocuous terms, many groups have alternate theories as to the actual purpose and nature of CMUs. Some believe CMUs were created solely to house terrorists since some, though not all, inmates have terrorism related convictions. However, even the terrorism related convictions are suspect.
Take for example ACLU's client and CMU inmate Sabri Benkahla. Benkahla, born in Virginia and a graduate of George Mason University, was studying Islamic law and jurisprudence in Saudi Arabia when he was abducted at Saudi secret police, flown back to America and charged with supplying services to the Taliban and using a firearm in connection with a crime of violence. He was found not guilty. Not satisfied with the acquittal, the U.S. government forced Benkahla to testify before a federal grand jury where he was accused and eventually convicted of perjury. Nonetheless, the presiding judge asserted Benkahla was "not a terrorist" and noted the chances of Benkahla committing another crime were "infinitesimal."
While some view CMUs as facilities for terrorists, a majority of news articles assert the common thread uniting inmates is their strong community support and their politically unpopular views. That is, CMUs are political prisons.
I am not convinced CMUs are traditional political prisons – the sort used to silent inmates. There is growing evidence CMUs were created to extract information from inmates for the war on terrorism. Since privacy rights are reduced for the incarcerated, increasing attention to prisoners as a source of information was a logical step for proponents of sustaining a war on terrorism. And by stretching what constitutes a terrorism related charge, the government could consolidate prisoners believed to possess desired knowledge and ignore even basic civil liberties afforded other incarcerated people by invoking "war on terrorism." To be sure, similar to the tenuous links to terrorism, the extent of any inmate's knowledge about terrorism is questionable at best.
Ultimately, due to the secretive nature of CMUs, the real explanation continues to be a mystery. What is not a mystery is that the war on terrorism continues to be wrongfully conflated with Islam. This likely explains the disproportionate level of Muslim inmates. Although there are non-Muslim inmates at CMUs, at least one Muslim inmate claims that security guards have called non-Muslim inmates "racial balancers." Whether or not non-Muslim inmates are mere decoys is unclear. But such a claim should heighten our concern that the government is targeting inmates based on a racial perception of who is a terrorist.
Any selective targeting of Muslims inside and outside the prison system in the name of war and national security would be dangerously similar to the selective targeting of Japanese Americans during World War II. After decades of struggle, the government officially apologized to the Japanese American community and admitted that xenophobia and wartime hysteria contributed to discriminatory policies that should never be repeated.
Granted there are differences between Japanese American internees and CMU inmates. CMU inmates have been convicted of at least one federal crime, albeit often minor crimes such as incorrectly filing taxes. However, the prison system should not strip inmates of all their constitutional rights, or segregate them in highly restrictive prisons based on religious identity.
Almost eight years after the September 11 attacks, the Obama administration has set a new tenor on the war on terrorism. But the continuing operation of CMUs that began under Bush is reminiscent of anti-Japanese policies and McCarthy era witch hunts. National security is a real concern but it can never justify the practices reportedly involved at CMUs. To do so would be a betrayal of the nation's commitment to core civil liberties and freedoms.

To provide schools adequate time to train staff, secure necessary equipment, change menus, identify new suppliers, and help students adapt to the new meals, SNA advises delaying mandatory implementation of the rule until school year 2013-2014. The Association recommends incentivizing early implementation by providing the additional 6 cent reimbursement to schools that meet the new meal pattern prior to SY 2013-2014.
One major barrier to meeting the new standards is cost: USDA estimates that if the proposed rule is fully implemented, the cost of preparing a school lunch could rise by more than 15 cents while the cost of preparing a school breakfast could rise by more than 51 cents. Yet, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act provides only 6 cents more per lunch to help schools meet these new standards and no additional reimbursement to assist with costly improvements to breakfast.
In addition to purchasing more produce, whole grains and lean proteins, schools will face significant equipment and training expenses. Meeting the new requirements will require schools to secure additional coolers, freezers and dry storage spaces; upgrade small-wares and sinks required to wash and process the additional fresh produce; modify and replace serving lines to accommodate larger portions; and train staff on storage, preparation and service of new menu items.
These challenges arrive at a time when cash-strapped states are reconsidering financial support of school nutrition programs and when harsh winter conditions, world events and commodity shortages have driven food prices to historic heights.
In light of cost concerns, SNA recommends that implementation of the revised breakfast meal pattern requirements be delayed until additional funding is available to help offset costs. SNA also requests an easing of the new meat/meat alternate requirement for school breakfast, which could eliminate popular and healthy breakfast choices like whole grain pancakes or cereal.
Cost concerns also influenced SNA's recommendation that the weekly requirement for legumes, dark green and orange vegetables be changed to encourage, rather than require, schools to vary vegetable selections (as is currently done in the HealthierUS School Challenge). SNA points out that rural areas and states such as Alaska face unique challenges to meeting these weekly requirements, such as dramatic price fluctuations for produce, variety and product availability during the winter months.
SNA also calls for easing the proposed rule's severe limit on starchy vegetables, which include green peas, corn, lima beans and potatoes. The proposed rule hampers school efforts to offer locally grown vegetables throughout the fall and winter, as well as regionally preferred foods such as corn in Mexican dishes. The Association recommends allowing schools to offer more starchy vegetables each week, but suggests restricting the individual serving size of these vegetables to half a cup per meal and prohibiting deep-fried preparation.

Pakistan Cricketers Found Guilty of Fixing
November 3, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Pakistani cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif were found guilty by a London jury of spot-fixing. They were found guilty, by a unanimous decision, on the charge of "conspiracy to cheat" and guilty by a 10-2 majority decision on the charge of "conspiracy to obtain and accept corrupt payments." The sentences will be pronounced by the judge, Justice Cooke, on Wednesday and Thursday; both players will remain on bail until then. The convictions, reached by the jury of the Southwark Crown Court in London after 16 hours and 56 minutes of deliberation, carry jail terms: a maximum prison sentence for the acceptance of corrupt payments is seven years in jail, while "conspiracy to cheat" carries a maximum two-year sentence.
This particular case focused on the Lord's Test match in August of 2010, when Butt and Asif conspired with teammates Majeed, Amir and other unknown bowlers to bowl pre-determined no-balls during England's innings. They were exposed by the now defunct British tabloid the News of the World in an undercover sting operation. Majeed was filmed revealing when no-balls would be delivered by the bowlers, video footage of which was played to the jury early in the trial.
The verdicts were handed down almost four weeks after the trial started, on October 4. Butt, wearing a velvet jacket and shirt without a tie, showed no emotion as the verdicts were read out and stared at the jury stony-faced. An hour earlier, in a bitter twist of fate, his wife Gul Hassan was understood to have given birth to a second son back in Pakistan. Asif, wearing a grey winter coat in the dock, was equally unmoved and neither player said a word or made any obvious facial expression.
The jury were unable to reach a verdict on the "accepting corrupt payments" charge against Asif, and Justice Cooke immediately retired them to deliberate some more in case they could reach a verdict on that fourth charge, which they did after more than three hours.
The unambiguous nature of the verdict was welcomed by the Metropolitan Police. "All I want to say that this is cheating pure and simple," said Detective Chief Superintendent Matt Horne. "They let down everyone that bought a ticket and they let down children when they were role models to those very children who are playing such a special game. I think we all look forward to this game being played in its truest spirit as we go forward from these types of issues. I also acknowledge the role that investigative journalism has played in this case."
Sally Walsh, Senior Lawyer in the Special Crime and Counter-Terrorism Division of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "Salman Butt, Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif deliberately and knowingly perverted the course of a cricket match for financial gain… This prosecution shows that match fixing is not just unsportsmanlike but is a serious criminal act.
"People who had paid good money to see a professional and exciting game of cricket on the famous ground at Lord's had no idea that what they were watching was not a true game but one where part of the game had been pre-determined for cash…the jury has decided after hearing all the evidence that what happened on the crease that day was criminal in the true sense of the word."
The players have already been punished by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after a disciplinary hearing in Doha, Qatar, earlier this year. Each was banned from the sport for at least five years. Butt received a further suspended five-year ban and Asif was handed a further two-year suspended sanction. Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, said after the London verdicts were announced that the jury's decisions, as well as Mohammad Amir's own guilty plea, will "have no impact" on the length of the suspensions its own tribunal handed out. All three players have filed appeals against their bans at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland.
There was further ignominy for the sport of cricket on this day as fellow Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Amir, the teenage Pakistani fast bowler, had pleaded guilty to the same two charges before the trial began. He is now scheduled for what is termed a "Newton Hearing" to decide the quantum of punishment. There is no jury officially present at this type of hearing, but a group of jurors is given permission to sit in and watch if they wish. In addition, it was revealed that there are plans to investigate further matches on Pakistan's 2010 tour of England.
Bollywood Scores: Shahrukh Khan Wins
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI/MUMBAI: By not simply rallying unitedly in favor of Shahrukh Khan-starrer: My Name Is Khan, but doing so with an amazingly zeal, Bollywood-team set the stage for film-fans across the world to head for theatres screening the movie. So much so, one got the impression that with Shahrukh as their "captain," the Bollywood-team was on the "pitch" to give Shiv Sainiks a thorough drubbing. A similar message was conveyed by headlines stating: "Khan scores, Sena misses," "MNIK wins, Sena loses," "Khan hits, Sena in pits,"…. Of course, Bollywood team was compelled to display this posture against shrill calls raised by Shiv Sena activists. The latter protested against release of MNIK primarily because Shahrukh had earlier questioned absence of Pakistani cricketers in Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament. Questioning Shahrukh's "support" for Pakistani players, Shiv Sena issued a diktat saying that theatres must not release the movie- MNIK.
Initially, there were speculations that multiplexes in Mumbai would follow Shiv Sena's diktat. There were also apprehensions that screening of the movie in Mumbai and other parts of the country would incite violence and create tension. But Shiv Sena's protest failed to win people's support even in Mumbai. When 35 of 40 theatres in Mumbai decided to go ahead with the movie's release (February 12), they received an enthusiastic response from moviegoers. The movie was screened in all theatres in Maharashtra the following day. Though some stones were thrown on Friday at Fun Republic, no damage was caused. Besides, security was tight at all theatres, particularly in Mumbai to check potential violence from Shiv Sena members.
What stands out is the "secular unity" displayed by movie goers across the world, even in Gujarat. Despite saffron brigade having warned against its release in Gujarat, the movie ran to packed houses in most parts of the state. The message simply conveyed was that people are in no mood to let saffron brigade and/or its associates decide their movies' choice. Nor are they convinced by Shiv Sena questioning Shahrukh Khan's "nationality." Rather as displayed by their turning out in huge numbers to view the movie, they have asserted that they cannot be taken for a ride by such diktats. In fact in several parts of the country, Shahrukh's fans displayed their anger against Shiv Sena's protests by burning effigies of Shiv Sena leaders.
Clearly, MNIK has provided the movie-fans across the world an opportunity to convey their message. The Mumbai-people defied Shiv Sena's call, asserting that this party has little significance for him. The noise made by certain Shiv Sena leaders in recent past about their Maratha-identity has also received a big blow by the support displayed by the public here for Shahrukh Khan-starrer. Not surprisingly, Shahrukh's wife, Gauri who watched the movie at Fun Republic with her daughter, said: "Everyone should watch the movie. Shahrukh's very happy that everyone has come out supporting him." Admitting that her husband was "very sad" earlier, but was "happy" at the response received, she said: "I think the best way would be to say Jai Maharashtra. We love Mumbai and Shahrukh is really excited." Guari is co-producer of the movie, directed by Karan Johar.
Interestingly, the Hindi movie with English title, strikes a note of appeal for Pakistani viewers too. It is the first movie, starring Shahrukh Khan, being screened in Pakistan, since the government allowed Indian movies here two years ago. The crowd's interest here rests partly on the movie's title and partly on it having aroused a protest from Shiv Sena over Shahrukh's comments regarding Pakistani cricketers. Also, they support the movie's message regarding Muslims being labeled as terrorists and being discriminated against in United States after September 11, 2001 attacks. The movie does not divide the people. Aiming to bridge the post – 9/11-divide, the movie's hero wants to meet the US President so that he can tell him: "My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist." This particular message, apparently, has people across the world put their regional as well as cultural differences in the background, as it appeals to them emotionally and they understand its underlying meaning. The movie in this context has taken a major step towards bridging the communication gap, which has kept practically the whole world fairly confused and almost at the loser's end. The secular, peace-loving and also religious people are against innocents being targeted as suspect terrorists for no fault of theirs. It is time, a Muslim's religious identity ceased to be linked with terrorism simply because he/she happens to be a practicing Muslim.
With the title saying it loudly and assertively, My Name Is Khan, it is hoped the diplomatic message carried by it is understood by the powers it is addressed to. The raving reviews won by the movie, in addition to raking in millions on the very first day of its screening clearly states that the message has clicked with the people across the world. Bollywood has scored not just against Shiv Sainiks at home but also in taking a lead in successfully conveying the message till date being avoided by Hollywood!

Merger and acquisition lessons for CIOs
A consumer products company changes hands three times, and a CIO learns about building bridges.
Candace Fleming was in IT at Cadbury Adams USA LLC when the maker of Dentyne and Black Jack was snapped up by pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc. and later spun off by Pfizer to Cadbury Schweppes PLC. "So I got some terrific lessons of what it means to have essentially the same job but for three very different companies," she said.

The experience of adapting her CIO duties to the style of three different owners has served her well at Columbia University, she said, where building bridges among the university's 17 schools, many of which have their own IT systems, is her chief challenge. "So that was my own little merger -- trying to build on the best qualities of all the organizations" in an environment where faculty members are kings.

[1060] Are CIN2 Lesions Overdiagnosed? Selected Immunopanel Can Prevent Unnecessary Cervical Excisions.
Rouzan Karabakhtsian, Michael Cibull, Christopher DeSimone. UKMC, Lexington, KY
Background: Atypical cellular changes reflecting inflammation, immature squamous metaplasia and atrophy can be diagnostically challenging in small cervical biopsies (bx) when evaluating for high-grade (HG) cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Such changes may mimic HG dysplasia and can lead to unnecessary cervical excision. The aim of this study was to retrospectively re-evaluate CIN2 lesions diagnosed on cervical bx in patients with no residual HG lesion in subsequent cervical excision, utilizing a panel of immunohistochemical (IHC) stains.
Design: 211 cervical bx from 151 patients with histologic diagnosis (Dx) of CIN2 who underwent cervical LEEP/Cone excision from 2000 to 2007 were retrieved from pathology files. Residual CIN2 was present in cervical excision in 89/151 (59%) patients (group 1, 130 bx) and absent in 62/151 (41%) (group 2, 81bx). 9/81 bx did not have sufficient tissue for IHC work-up. Tissue blocks of 72/81 cervical bx (group 2) were stained for 3 IHC markers: p16INK4a (CINtec, MTM) and proliferation markers MIB-1 (Dako) and proExTMC (BD). H&E and immunostained slides were independently reviewed by two pathologists. Diffuse nuclear and cytoplasmic staining of cells for p16 in at least half of the epithelial thickness was interpreted as positive for CIN2, and negative otherwise. Co-expression of nuclear staining for MIB-1 and proExC in cells within at least half of the epithelium was interpreted as supportive of CIN2, and negative otherwise.
Results: Histologic Dx of CIN2 (group 2) was supported by 3 stains in 61% (44/72) cervical bx and by 2 stains (p16-) in 13% (9/72). In 26% (19/72) of bx stains failed to support the presence of CIN2. Overall, CIN2 was overdiagnosed in 9% (19/211) cervical bx. Immunoreactivity for p16 was present in 83% (44/53) and absent in 17% (9/53) of true CIN2 lesions. In-situ hybridization (ISH) for HPV was performed in p16 (-) group (9 bx). In 4/9 tissue was insufficient for additional work-up. HPV 16/18 by ISH was (+) in remaining 3/5 and (-) in 2/5.
Conclusions: 1) In 25% (53/211) the absence of CIN2 in subsequent excision may be due to small lesion size with complete removal by colposcopic bx, or regression.
2) CIN2 was overdiagnosed in 9% cervical bx in this study.
3) Immunopanel of p16, MIB-1 and ProExC can be useful in separating CIN2 lesions from its benign mimics.
4) While not extremely sensitive for CIN2 (83%), p16 appears highly specific "key" biomarker and critical when dealing with diagnostic challenges.
5) ISH for HPV can be helpful in rare p16 (-) cases.

Eight Years of Devils Centermen Travis Zajac
Travis Zajac, who we all know and love, has re-signed with the New Jersey Devils for 8 more years! It's the first contract under the new CBA and averages out to $5.75 million a year, total of $46 million over the next 8 years – prime Zajac time!
Zajac was selected 20th overall in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft by the New Jersey Devils and has been with us ever since. He has put up 91 goals and 164 assists in 423 regular season NHL games. On March 17, 2011, Zajac became the Devils record holder for most consecutive games played, passing Ken Daneyko's record of 388.
While he missed most of last season due to an Achille's injury, Zajac came back just in time to get to work. In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, he scored his 2nd career overtime goal against the Florida Panthers that led us to game 7, where we won in double overtime.
We're not the only ones that are excited about his new contract, here are a few statements that have come from the team.
"I want to be here. I believe in this organization. I think it is a first-class organization. It's the environment I want to surround myself on and off the ice, and my family loves New Jersey. We like the people here. We like living here. With all that and the players and coaching staff, I think we have a great chance here to always be successful." – Zajac
"It's great news. He's such a prototypical New Jersey Devil. He's a big strong guy. He plays the right way. He plays both ends of the rink. Centermen like that are very hard to find. It's nice that he got rewarded, and he deserves it." – Peter DeBoer
"To be able to lock him in for that many years I think that secures our top centerman spot for a long time, I think it's great for the organization." – Martin Brodeur

Last Thursday, the Orbotix team did something active. We competed in the local Broom-ball tournament, hosted by the One Boulder Plaza Ice Rink. While we play with balls all day long, ours are of the robotic variety. They don't involve running, dodging, diving, and sliding across a field of ice. Needless to say, we kicked off the night with an epic performance against the reigning champions from last year – the actual Ice Rink staff. Also competing this year were teams from local businesses: WW Reynolds, Sterling Rice, Newton Running, Reuben's Burger Bistro (order the Road Rash), Occipital (high five to the one-woman teams), and Shooters Bar & Grill. For those who aren't local to the Boulder scene, that list includes everyone from hard-core gamers and programmers to bartenders and bankers. Not to anyone's surprise, the team who runs the rink won the competition. Our hard-hats are off to you guys – thanks for hosting and organizing an event to remember!

Here is his website, with the link to the book's progress...
This is an excellent short interview, of a very special time in Portland's history. The book is going to be very attention grabbing. I think its going to do well. To look at a link dedicated to Don's new book, you can visit his website and stay tuned on the progress of the book. Its a wonderful addition to the history of Portland, from the perspective of a former law enforcement man.
This is a cool story. My grandma survived that storm. Its super cool that they found this guy and he remembers it. One of a small few I bet. Neat story.

Podgy but willing, "Fuck me honey!" she said. So I buggered her up the shitter. I would like to tell you that this is a girlie from the street, but it is my landlord's son's girlfriend. A good girl, keen to please, kind to everyone, and a right little raver. She has sex with every tenant with a foreign face. She takes delight in getting faced fucked after anal sex, as she says it is good for her complexion. She needs a bit more in my view. Anyway, we had good sex, she took my details for her smart phone and then went downstairs to meet her boyfriend who took her out for a Chinese meal. I got a text message from her later, saying the food was good, but that she should not have farted in the middle of it, because she wet the back of her knickers with a glob of my sperm. A podgy video, but willing, and with high definition, straight up the asshole.

J Alvarez Saving Lives With Reggaeton at La Covacha on December 8
Categories: Concert Preview, Nightlife
And nowhere in Miami is that sense of belonging stronger -- especially for J Alvarez -- than at La Covacha, New Times' two-time Best Latin Club award winner.
Alvarez, the Latin Grammy-nominated reggaetonero behind such jams as "Te Deseo" and "Ponte Pa Mi," has become a regular at La Covacha over the past few years, each show more energetic than the last.
But why wouldn't it be? Music saved Alvarez's life, after all.
"Thanks to music I'm away from the streets," Alvarez told Fox News Latino in February. The singer was discussing Puerto Rico's unfortunate spike in street violence, which claimed the life of is cousin, Kasinski, earlier this year.
"I've been through some various situations that have allowed me to grow as a person. I spent almost four years in jail. There are opportunities to get out of there and you can progress. The doors aren't shut on you.
"It was a wake up call," Alvarez admitted. "I came out of it with dreams that I have been able to realize."
J Alvarez. Saturday, December 8. La Covacha, 10730 NW 25th ST, Doral. The show starts at 9 p.m. and tickets cost $19.95 to $39.99 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 18 and up. Call 305-594-3717 or visit lacovacha.com.

Best termite treatment for your home
on Thursday, May 09, 2013 by Terminix
Being proactive with the best termite control can protect your biggest investment: your home. However, if your home is already infested, it is critical to seek the best termite treatment available to ensure your home is treated effectively and efficiently. Termite infestations cost an average of $8,184^ in treatment and damage repair costs to homeowners every year, in which most homeowners insurance doesn't cover. Before you can decide what the best termite treatment is for your home, you first must identify which type of termite infestation you have.
Termite types
In North America, there are two primary types of termites that affect homeowners:
- Subterranean termites are the most common termite threat in the United States. As underground dwellers, they tunnel upward through the soil to infest the wooden frame of your home, often leaving mud tunnels on the surfaces through which they cannot tunnel (e.g. concrete and brick). Subterranean termites live in colonies that can house hundreds of thousands of termites, depending on the colony's age and health. They work 24 hours a day from the inside out and are often difficult to detect since 80 percent of the wood they eat is hidden within the walls.
- Drywood termites produce small bun-shaped pellets as excrement. This often accumulates on surfaces directly below infested areas. Evidence of activity can include small "pin holes" in the surface of the infested area and the droppings accumulating below. Winged termites, called swarmers, might also be observed. The adults swarm to reproduce and start new infestations in other areas of the structure. This usually occurs between early summer and late summer.
What is the best termite treatment?
Termite treatment is best left to the experts. Terminix® trained technicians have the knowledge and experience to properly safeguard your home against termites and ensure that treatment is applied safely to protect the health of your family and pets. Furthermore, these trained technicians generally use a combination of methods for termite removal, depending on the home and type of infestation. Terminix has been protecting homes like yours for more than 85 years, which is why they have the best termite treatment plans.
- Terminix Bait Defend Systemsm. Termites exhibit continuous and random foraging behavior, so even when they have found a good source for food, they constantly look for more. With this termite treatment, trained technicians strategically install a series of termite bait stations in the ground around your home. When termites feed on the bait, they carry the control agent back to the colony nests and share it with other termites.
- Terminix Liquid Defend® Systemsm. The product used in the Liquid Defend System is "non-repellent," meaning it doesn't kill the termites immediately. Rather, it works slowly so that the termites that come in contact with the agent can carry it to other termites throughout the rest of the colony. With this termite treatment, a trained technician creates a trench in soil areas and carefully drills through slab areas around the perimeter of your home, and then applies a highly effective liquid agent. The control agent is picked up by termites (on their bodies) as they forage through the treated soil and then transferred to other termites in the colony.
- Terminix Tent Defend Systemsm. This drywood termite treatment consists of a complete home fumigation (sometimes called "Tenting.") Tenting is an in-depth process that requires specialized tarps to be placed over your home. The tarps are joined together at rolled seams using heavy-duty clamps and weighted at the bottom to create a seal. Fumigant is dispersed, penetrating all wood timbers, trim, finished wood and furniture, as well as hard-to-treat wall studs, thereby eliminating drywood termites.
Some homeowners may be concerned about the initial termite treatment cost; however, if your home is infested it is important to eliminate the termites before they cause more damage. The experts at Terminix are trained to accurately inspect your home for termites and can determine the best termite treatment option for you. Plus, Terminix will come back to your home every year for as long as you keep your plan to determine if your home is still termite free and to provide ongoing protection.
With Terminix, you are covered by the Ultimate Protection® Guarantee—the strongest guarantee in the business. Only Terminix offers this type of protection, where you'll never have to pay for future termite treatments or damage repairs for as long as you keep your plan. To learn more about how Terminix can treat and protect your home from termites, visit Terminix.com or call 1.866.766.7628 to schedule your FREE Termite Inspection.
The Terminix Ultimate Protection® Guarantee is the strongest in the business. We're committed to defending your home against pests and termites. Because it's your house, not theirs. If you're not 100% satisfied, we'll give you your money back.

Golf Digest
Earlier this week, Golf Digest Magazine made quite a splash by releasing an excerpt of swing instructor Hank Haney's controversial new book about Tiger Woods.
The excerpt of "The Big Miss" was initially published exclusively on the iPad version of the Golf Digest app (iTunes, $4.99 / issue), and details Haney's up-and-down experiences with Tiger over the 6 years they worked together.
This month's issue also features exclusive videos of Hank Haney and Golf Digest senior writer Jaime Diaz discussing the book, as well as hitting tips from instructional pros David Leadbetter and Jim McLean.
Early iterations of the Golf Digest app were rough, but the magazine has hit its stride in recent months, with decent download performance, interesting adjunctive content in the form of videos and tips, and a nice clean design.
Based on the pick-up and chatter we saw on the web, this Hank Haney excerpt should help the magazine and publisher Conde Nast generate single-copy sales ($5.99) and annual subscriptions ($19.99).
NoteTaker HD
Several months ago, we talked about NoteTaker HD (iTunes, $4.99) in our 9 best iPad handwriting apps for iPad feature. We liked the PDF import/export features, the numerous input options, and the directory functions.
An extensive February update brought some remarkably handy improvements, including sub-folders and folder-level password protection, a pen memory setting for stylus fans, and built-in support for Apple's iOS data protection API.
OnLive Desktop for Android
Last week, we reported on OnLive releasing an enhanced premium version of its virtual Windows desktop app for the iPad. The original release allows you to use MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint via remote access. The new version added cloud-accelerated web browsing.
This week, OnLive (iTunes, Android) announced that the same app is now available for select Android tablets—the Acer Iconia Tab A500, ASUS Eee TF101, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, and HTC Jetstream tablets running Android 2.3 or later.
Just like the iPad app, performance is remarkable and has to be seen to be believed.

My kids are 5 and 3 years old. I would like to teach them chess by playing alternative mini-game. Where can I find those mini-game instruction?
If your just looking for instructions, here is the wiki on mini chess. Make sure you checkout the external links. To take Andrew's comment a bit further, I will give my own experience with my 3.5 year old. This is what he knows now with limited time. He can name all the pieces and he can set the board up, but that is about it. If I ask him to move the bishop, he will swipe it across the board, but that is OK. He does not have the concept that it is a game for two people and I am black or white (every piece is his :) ) Your 5 year old probably will get a better grasp on mini chess, but 3 may be too young for it. |
GM Maurice Ashley invented Pawn Mower. It is great fun for learning how pieces move AND how to visualize the future board position after a few moves. |

AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Promises More Maria Hill and Teases AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
By Merrill Barr on April 9, 2014
With arguably its best episode to date, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. went through a complete retooling last night in the wake of Captain America: The Winter Soldier's universe changing events. Now with just a handful of episodes to go before the May 13th season finale, things are ramping up in a major way for Agent Coulson and his team. In addition to the confirmed appearance by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury set for the finale, Marvel has revealed Cobie Smulders will be returning to the series as Maria Hill on the April 29th episode, and it won't be for just a cameo this time.
TV Line was able to get the exclusive on the extent of Hill's role in the episode, saying, "Hill will play a large role in the May sweeps episode, and those who have clamored for a Coulson/Hill team-up will get it, punctuated by lots of action." On top of that, Movies.com also took a look at last night's episode and uncovered something interesting: During the episode, it's stated that Hydra has taken over the majority of S.H.I.E.L.D. bases worldwide, one of them being in Africa. Fans will remember that the first ten minutes of Avengers: Age of Ultron is reportedly set in South Africa and will feature a major action sequence. Could it be that the base Baron Von Strucker is hanging out in with Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver (alone with Loki's staff) at the end of The Winter Soldier is in fact the Africa base mentioned last night? I guess we'll have to wait another year to find out.
Already dying because I'm so excited.
Ummm….they said the base was in East Africa, not South Africa.
Where a movie films and where a movie takes place are not always the same. In fact, it's somewhat rarely the same place.
Do you mean April 29th episode or are they moving it to Saturday?
[…] By Merrill Barr […]
So the scarlet witch and quicksilver are bad guys in this movie. And not part of the Avengers?
Quicksilver and the scarlet which were bad at first. They are the foster children of magneto in the comic but realized that he was pretty bad so they went to join the avengers. They are trying to stick as close to the comics as possible. I. Can't. Wait!!!!!
They are his real children but didn't know this until later in life.
Really? Like they can't just substitute? At the end of Incredible Hulk they said they were in Harlem. That whole seen was filmed in Toronto. It's a movie. You think South Africa can't pass for East Africa? -
The above said the first 10 minutes were set in South Africa, not just filmed in South Africa.
They are Magneto's children, but Marvel will not be allowed to mention that. In fact, because Fox owns the right to the Magneto character (and anything directly associated with X-men), Marvel can't mention any of the X-Men in any of it's movies…. so that won't be part of the kids backgrounds.
i dnt sleep i wait.. best show ever!!
Or maybe they just won't mention their backgtound until Fox's rights expire and Marvel gets the X-Men franchise back.
The scene we saw at the end of TWS looked a little archaic. I think they are holed up somewhere in Europe, but for the upcoming movie, will migrate to Africa once Hyrdra establishes control and can house the wonder twins..
Marvel wont get the rights for a long time. As long as Fox pumps out XMen movies, the rights wont expire
Unfortunately, even though Cobie Smoulders has never had anything than an extended cameo as Maria Hill, the advance press on this appearance seems like they are going to treat her like she's an established character that the fans should know, (and care), about. It's basically sort of like the Sif episode all over again. These episodes would be great to actually introduce these characters and flesh them out, since they never have been other than just basically as living scenery in the movies they were in, but treating a Cobie Smoulders appearance in the same way you'd treat a Scarlett Johannson appearance is emblematic of the misfires AOS has had.
BlahBlahBlah, South Africa is a country, east Africa would be anywhere in the eastern half of the continent of Africa and by extension including the eastern part of country of South Africa.
[BlahBlahBlah on April 9, 2014 at 2:08 pm said:
"Ummm….they said the base was in East Africa, not South Africa."] -
Hail HYDRA!
surprised no one is mentioning that theyre in africa…..where black panther lives? could he be showing up now too?
BlahBlahBlah, they said the East African headquarters and the Treehouse, the last one might just be in south africa.
To be fair, the underground base they were using, looks like a recycled base of operations that Loki was using in the first film. If it is the case that it's the same place, then I'd personally say the base is set in Germany, which makes more sense since the character explaining the twins, speaks with a German accent (I don't know if the actor is actually German so not jumping to conclusions saying they ARE German.), as opposed to majority of the Hydra agents in TWS who are mostly American. Personally I want to see Antoine Triplett in either more SHIELD episodes, or even possibly the avengers AoU, depending of course on how much they focus on the possible rebuilding of SHIELD.
HEY HEY HEY Michael Thompson, you watch your mouth! Jaimie Alexander is gorgeous, the episode was necessary damn it!
I've thoroughly enjoyed every episode of "Agents of SHIELD" so far and hope to see season two! As for the upcoming movie, what the HELL did they do to Quicksilver's hair?
South Africa… East Africa… Africa in general… Who gives a shit?!?! Just watch the show and go see the movie and shut the fuck up!! Geeeeezzzuusssss!!!
Has everyone forgot about the nation of Wakunda? You know the Black Panther?
am just hoping we find out why skye is a 084 by the finale
actually the twins are imprisoned somewhere in Europe that is why in the end of Winter Soldier he mentioned he is going there. Baron Von Strucker is obviously there so they are not connected in that "African" thing
I bet the game they play with Hill is: 'I know her.' "I don't." They should have done that with Jaime Alexander more. Her convo with Coulson was all about Thor.
The Marvel Comic Universe has too many trails not to leave a couple of dead ends. I would like to see Black Panther-but its not supremely important. Stone Cold is right-just enjoy it, or don't.
I had a question????in the lady sif episode who exactly is the woman she's fighting for a brief moment I thought it was enchantress please correct me if I'm wrong.I like to consider myself a big fan of these comics movies and TV show but clearly I'm not what you would call an in depth as some of you so I but my question to people I thought would be the best to answer it!!!!!!!
She was Lorelei, a villain from Thor from the middle 80's, who is the sister of the Enchantress. Basically she's a typical Asgardian as far as physical traits go, (strong, durable, etc), combined with some mystical training that she typical devotes to seducing men.
And don't get me wrong. I have no problem with Maria Hill or Sif being in AOS. I just think that, given the fact that we know little about either character based on their movie appearances, a longer story arc dealing with them would be good or some treatment that would give the show's audience some idea of who they are and what they are about would be helpful. The show treated their appearances as if we, the audience, should already have that knowledge baked in simply because they were in Marvel movies. And based on them having been in movies, these appearances should be 'events.' I think they should maybe tone down the 'event' and focus on some solid, sustained storytelling for awhile.
Just a side-note about Marvel and X-Men crossover mentions….the character of Quicksilver is going to be interesting because he not only is going to be in the new Avengers movie but also in the new X-men movie, played by different people and with a slightly different look in each. At least it is a start at allowing something of a crossover between these two franchises.
I am surprised they have Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and not Fenris, who were von Strucker's kids (if I remember correctly).
@Nathan The actor who plays von Strucker is german
wouldn't it be awesome if all 3 studios Sony /Fox /and marvel would come up with some type of agreement to incorporate crossovers through all of franchises.like Spiderman and Xmen 4 X Men and The Avengers or all I guess a fan can only hope.
That would be awesome to have wolverine and spider man together in the same movie. Bantering back and forth, it would be great.
Does it also promise to stop being terrible?
The map on AOS shows an East African blimp (icon on screen map flashing), and a West African Blimp. Mater fact the only major country it did not show a highlighted blimp was in Europe. You could see a blimp in Europe, but it did not look like they were tracking the area with surveillance. Avengers may have Filmed in south Africa, but that could be a scene tied into any location on a world map. While it will likely represent Africa, just because they filmed in the south does not mean that the film will be representing the East.
Chris and Dale, Thank you for sharing the phtoos with us. They are so adorable we now need to play with them. Now we want to see the boys!! Lots of love you have really been blessed.
Oh man…I wouldn't be surprised if there was a SHIELD base in Africa monitoring Wakanda…..

Shifting Perspectives: The joy of panic {WoW}
Apr 4th 2012 11:45AM You don't need to have a real deep understanding to play a Dk okay, you only have a few buttons to hit. Playing one well, at high end raiding levels, requires skill. Take Madness, for example. You could just spam the heck out of all your attacks and do okay. Or, you can intelligently build up enough of a Blood Shield on the arm/wing tentacle, with enough of a duration on it that when you get to the impale from the tentacle in the back, you take ~250k less dmg. Both tanks can survive say, LFR, but the latter tank will be much easier to heal, and therefore more successful, in a normal/heroic mode raid.
I really like the dk model, and I hope Blizz turns all tanks into active ones, it's easy to learn, difficult to master.
Shifting Perspectives: The joy of panic {WoW}
Apr 3rd 2012 7:03PM The issue of Dk tanking versus the others has always been the manual transmission car versus the automatic. A Dk tank requires understanding when and how the damage is coming in, and actively monitoring every aspect of the class/role. You can just spam death strike all you want, and get blown up. Or, you can understand how it works, when to use it, and be one of the best tanks in the game.
All tanks need to work this way: you know when the damage is coming in, you can decide to either eat it and be healed, or spend resources and mitigate it. That, coupled with spending resources to do dps during periods of low or no incoming damage defines what it means to be a tank.
Is reforging a hit or a miss? {WoW}
Mar 12th 2012 7:40PM The problem with reforging is hard capped stats like hit/expertise. You get stuck constantly trying to maintain as close to XX% as possible without going over, and in the case of spell casters in PVE, anything over that level is essentially wasted itemization.
I've never understood the reasoning behind having hit/expertise ratings, you wind up getting way too much towards the end of the expansion (I'm looking at you, 4.3 plate gear) and wind up playing the game of having to spend 200-300g everytime you get a new piece to make it functional.
I love reforging, because you can simplify the drop tables and make the gear work for more specs, what I dislike is the combat ratings that every just has to deal with, and once you get to them, you don't even think about it again until you have too much.
Hi, remember me? I've been here since 2004 {WoW}
Mar 9th 2012 3:10PM Another thing they could put on the store is /level capabilties, maybe 2 tokens to get a free level 80. The possibilities are endless, and because the currency is restricted and limited by your time played, you would have to pick and choose carefully.
Hi, remember me? I've been here since 2004 {WoW}
Mar 9th 2012 3:08PM If you don't want the premium service, then they could add other vanity items to the store, that are only purchased with tokens. Tabards, titles, transmog pieces, things of that nature. If they could only be purchased with tokens, and the tokens could only be earned by staying subbed, those items would be rare and desirable.
Hi, remember me? I've been here since 2004 {WoW}
Mar 9th 2012 2:45PM Solution: for every 3 months of continuous, uninterrupted game time, you receive one Blizzard Token. 1 token can be redeemed for any premium service (race/faction change, etc) and two tokens for any blizzard store item. Not retroactive.
Problem solved.
The 7 best suggestions for improving archaeology {WoW}
Jan 12th 2012 11:31AM The number one solution that would completely fix all problems with archaeology, and from a realism stand point, should have been available from the beginning of the game:
At level 525, or if that's too game breaking then after X number of solves, you gain the ability to select a race, and ONLY dig sites from that race show up in the zones they should, and no other spawn points will show up.
An archaeologist doesn't randomly travel around hoping to find something, they have a passion/desire for a particular type/region/history, and they focus on finding items related to that.
Breakfast Topic: How often do you switch specs? {WoW}
Jan 11th 2012 10:06AM I swap from Blood to Frost on my Dk all the time, I love tanking heroics for CTA bags and no que times, and gear my Frost spec for raids.
Breakfast Topic: How do you decide which is your main? {WoW}
Jan 3rd 2012 2:01PM I started off in vanilla with a rogue, and during the great TBC melds doldrums on my sever I rolled an elemental shaman to see the starting zone. That toon became my raiding main for the rest of TBC. In Wrath, shaman were basically dead after T7, so I rolled a mage and a Dk tank. Both of those toons were my "mains" in Cata, but I've since settled on my Dk because being a tank with no que times suits my play time.
I long for the day when achievements go account wide, I have many spread across lots of toons, some unobtainable.
The Raid Finder, the Dungeon Finder, point caps and you {WoW}
Dec 31st 2011 9:47PM Why does the speed/rate at which other players gear and consume content have any bearing on your ability to play the game?
If some hardcore player was running heroics for 23 hours a day, and was wearing all the valor pieces the day after the patch launched, how would that effect you? It wouldn't, because your gaming experience would not change.
It's artificial gating, plain and simple. Keep them coming back, keep them subbed, keep them frustrated and chasing after the dangling carrot of gear.

Rich men get their ties from Brooks Brothers, their cars from Maybach, and, apparently, their $1,200-an-hour call girls from madam Kristin Davis. Like his predecessor in public shaming, Eliot Spitzer, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund who resigned Wednesday night after he was accused of sexually assaulting a New York City hotel maid last weekend, allegedly hired prostitutes from Wicked Models to keep him warm at night. (Or, just for an hour.) Madam Kristin Davis said Strauss-Kahn used her services in January 2006, requesting an "all-American girl" and paying $2,400 for two hours of her time. "He paid in cash," Davis told the Times of London. "The first girl I sent to him said he was aggressive and didn't want to be back with him again." Davis claims Strauss-Kahn also hired a Brazilian prostitute in September 2006 while in New York City for a conference with Bill Clinton. Keep reading »

The Psychiatrist as Writer
Victor sent a link to me from the NY Times: Therapists Wired to Write by Sarah Kershaw.
She tells about a New York City writers group composed of six psychotherapists who get together to write-- fiction, screen plays, all sorts of stuff. They've been meeting for 7 years, and like the Shrink Rappers, they sound like the group has become a source of connection and friendship. One of the group members had a Bat Mitzvah at age 67 and the others all went! Kind of nice. Kershaw writes about the group:
They have also used the group as a safe cocoon to vet and write unpublished prose, a dissertation, writings on traumatized Iraqi war veterans and now a book on running a writing group for psychoanalysts.
The stuff of therapy is not only a lot stranger than fiction but also contains the ever-unfolding narrative of life, with its pain and pathos, feats and failures.
That is some rich material for a writer.
"Everybody comes in with their own stories, and they can be so staggeringly original," said Bonnie Zindel, the psychoanalyst who started the writing group seven years ago. "We all need stories to make sense of our lives, we're all wired to tell stories, and nature gave us that. For us, we wonder, 'What is the story that our patients are telling?' There are mother stories, father stories, ghost stories and the eternal universal story of a child trying to separate from its mother."So a few things. Does Ms. Kershaw want to do an article on 3 blogging/podcasting/twittering psychiatrists who like to eat together-- perhaps to coincide with the publication of their book on psychiatry?
But I'm going to tell you, as much as I enjoyed the article, what struck me even more were the comments people wrote in. The commenters expressed nothing short of outrage: psychotherapists shouldn't write, they may be manipulating their patients to get more interesting stories. One psychologist wrote in saying it's a very bad idea and impossible to be both a therapist and creative writer. I'm not sure if the outrage is at the idea that therapists are writing; I have the sense that it's more about the acknowledgement that patient stories are used. Someone does write in in defense of doing this, and cites the work of Oliver Sacks and Irvin Yalom who tell stories about their patients.
We've talked about this at length on Shrink Rap (See: The Blogging Psychiatrist). Generally we shy away from writing about our patients, and when we do, we disguise them and alter the stories-- leaving the message or the flavor. Education is important, as is demystifying and destigmatizing mental illness, and the only way this can be done is to talk somewhere about patients and what has happened to them. As fodder for novels? Well then only with disguise or distance, but no where is it said that when one signs on to be a psychotherapist there is the promise to never write creatively, to never climb rocks (--if you fall and get killed, this is not good for your patients), or to confine your activities or interests so long as they fall within the bounds of the law and certain stated ethical realms.
Mental health issues permeate the media and entertainment-- it's harder to find a movie with no psychiatric themes these days -- even Jack Bauer has an addiction problem in one season.
I don't know what happens in this particular group-- Maybe they'll invited me to visit? I'd love to come. I do, however, believe that one can be both a therapist and a creative writer. I don't write fiction about my patients; I don't offer this piece of my life to them any more than I discuss my religious or political beliefs, but it is a part of me.
