Living with anxiety, searching for joyBy Kat Kinsman, CNNUpdated 1616 GMT (0016 HKT) January 8, 2014If depression is a "black dog," Kat Kinsman writes, then anxiety is a feral cat.Story highlightsKat Kinsman has dealt with anxiety since she was a childDepression is often characterized as a black dog; she likens anxiety to a feral catAnxiety can sneak up at any time, even while asleepWatch the Google Plus Hangout about coping with anxiety"The blues are because you're getting fat or maybe it's been raining too long. You're sad, that's all. But the mean reds are horrible. You're afraid and you sweat like hell, but you don't know what you're afraid of. Except something bad is going to happen, only you don't know what it is. ... What I've found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there." -- "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Truman CapoteI am hunched in half on a blue chair on the third floor of the Tiffany & Co. flagship store, willing myself to calm down or simply disappear. At this moment, the latter seems a more likely possibility, but even so, it's not working. A neatly suited young woman is dispatched to assess the state of my well-being, because so far as I can tell, most other ladies are pretty jazzed to be in the temple of sparkle and promise.I, on the other hand, am a quivering storm cloud, desperately trying to contain the shocks and sog of my current upset so they don't stain anyone else's happy pre-holiday afternoon. She approaches, kind-eyed and discreet, "Soooo, how are you doing today, Miss?"Panicked, I start to babble. "Finefinefine. I'm fine. My husband is somewhere around here buying a present for his mom and his aunt and I'm just -- there are so many people out today. So many people. It took 30 minutes to walk just a couple blocks and I'm -- so many people. I'm just here -- hiding. Until he's done. See, there he is."My husband materializes with a white-stringed bag in his hand and nods at the woman. She's relieved. I'm mortified -- that my seams showed, that someone saw them, that my husband is stuck with a wife so pathetic that she can't even manage a couple of hours of Christmas shopping without falling apart. Twitching and sick to my stomach, I eventually make it home and cower under the covers in our dark bedroom until early evening. Despite my best attempts at slow, deep breaths and all the rest of the therapeutic tricks I've been taught, I'm unable to slow my firecracker pulse or the explosion of toxic thoughts rotting me from brain to skin. "You're so useless. You let down the people you love. Everyone who's been stupid enough to love you will regret it when they realize how weak you are." It goes on and on until my body just shuts down for a couple of hours. Then I wake up in near-screaming horror, and it all starts up again.My son is mentally ill, so listen upThis happened just three weeks ago. Anxiety and panic have been my constant companions for as far back as my memory reaches. The outlines of most of the milestones -- birthdays, graduations, awards -- are etched in acid relief on the walls of my gut while my mind tries to fill in the blanks with any color and joy I can muster. Even the mundanities of daily life are riddled with the shrapnel of the attack.Just WatchedHe hears voices, she wants hers heardreplayMore Videos ...He hears voices, she wants hers heard 06:56PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedMayor-elect's daughter reveals drug usereplayMore Videos ...Mayor-elect's daughter reveals drug use 02:51PLAY VIDEOEmpirically, I recall the verdant, sheep-dotted hills, azure lakes, storybook castles and mighty crags of Snowdonia, Wales, as seen from an open car, driven by the handsome man who had become my husband just days before. In theory, bliss. In reality, a steady series of flinches, gasps and stomach aches as we wound through hairpin turns on single-lane, left-hand-drive roadways, while I obsessed about the money we'd just spent on the wedding and if I'd paid enough attention to each guest at the reception. After a grueling stint in grad school, I stood in line to receive my master's degree and was convinced that a siren in the distance meant I'd left on the iron I'd used to press my gown, and that my house was burning down as a result of my carelessness. In third grade, I hunched in a ball at the edge of the asphalt, clawing at a scab while the other kids whooped and ran. I'd messed up a test question I should have gotten right, and my favorite teacher was going to know she was wrong for thinking I was smart.Anxiety hurts. It's the precise inverse of joy and blots out pleasure at its whim, leaving a dull, faded outline of the happiness that was supposed to happen. It's also as sneaky as hell. Going public with depressionIf depression is, as Winston Churchill famously described, a "black dog" that follows the sufferer around, anxiety is a feral cat that springs from nowhere, sinks its claws into skin and hisses invective until nothing else exists. For me, there is neither rhyme nor reason as to when it will strike. I can board a plane to vacation solo in a strange city, hold forth on live TV at a moment's notice or speak onstage in front of a crowd of hundreds without many mussed feathers. The notion of leaving the house to get half-and-half for coffee flings me dead into the eye of a panic attack. The store is a 30-second walk from my front door and some days, I just can't make it there. The thought of leaving the cocoon of my apartment -- my bedroom, even -- just crushes my lungs and tightens my skin until it's hot to the touch. My hands bobble the outline of the lipstick I try to apply so I can masquerade as a functioning human person, and I have to wipe it off and start again. And maybe again. And then my dress needs ironing. And the dogs need water. And I should answer another work e-mail. Anything to keep me from having to walk to the door, open it and face the world. The coffee will have to be black that day. Do you have a personal essay to share? Post it on CNN iReportWhat am I afraid will happen? There's no easy answer to that. Anxiety is not easily explicable or rational -- at least not to those who don't suffer from it -- and that only compounds the problem. If it were something concrete -- a fear of clowns, birds, cheese or the music of Michael Bublé -- there would no doubt be a definitive course of attack involving immersion therapy and a really weird party. But Generalized Anxiety Disorder (300.02 in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and the single most common mental health diagnosis) is more nebulous than that. It's free-floating fear that metastasizes until it's all-consuming and often debilitating. For me, it's physically painful, from stomach, head and muscle aches to exhaustion from chronic insomnia to raw thumb skin that I've picked at until it bled -- and kept picking some more.National Depression Screening Day: Sharing experiences can helpIt's deeply alienating to friends who assume that I didn't come to their party, show up at their event or call to explain because I didn't care enough or didn't love them anymore. It's perhaps even more humiliating to explain that I was too terrified to leave my house and interact with people in person where they could see what a drab, value-free mess of a person I am and that they'd made a mistake for ever liking me in the first place. It's senseless and hurtful to people I love, and that more than anything is why I've been trying to get better. That's its own litter of rabid kittens.Anti-anxiety medications work beautifully for millions of people. The withdrawal from a particularly wicked one nearly ended me, and the brain zaps (those are sharp, horrifying electrical currents you can physically feel inside your head) and metabolic sluggishness increasingly outweighed any benefits while I was on it. Perhaps I will change my mind someday, but for now that's not an option.The gym can be useful, but it's on the other side of that damned door. So are the much-vaunted yoga and meditation classes that inevitably make me feel as if I've failed for being insufficiently zen and relaxed.Behavioral therapy has perhaps been my most effective weapon, but when panic bolts down and pins me, shivering to my bed in the wee, small hours, it's hard to summon semi-steady breath, let alone any mantras or creative visualizations. Anxiety, you're not the boss of meI also suddenly and quite unexpectedly lost the man who taught me most of my coping techniques. Last spring, my therapist of nearly a decade and a half had a medical emergency and his practice abruptly ended. I missed him fiercely and held out hope for months -- both for his well-being and for our continued work together. It was not to be, and I spiraled for a while, allowing the terror to swallow me, along with any scrap of happiness that might have come fluttering my way.But in 2014, I am resolved, if not to tame this yowling beast, then at least to clip its claws. I'm sick to death of feeling ashamed for this illness, am just plain worn out from the physical fight and angry that I've let it thieve so much life and time with my loved ones. I've got a new therapist who is teaching me to wrangle upset where it arises, and not damning myself when I fail to do so. I'm trying to let myself enjoy small pleasures, rather than brace myself for when they might be taken away. I'm also doing what I can to increase the frequency of their occurrence, and encouraging other people to do the same, with a public Tumblr -- joyisthenewfancy.tumblr.com -- where I hold myself accountable for one joyful or "fancy" thing a day and tackle the issue of anxiety in a public way. It's silly, but it's working, and even just in the few days it's been up, dozens of people have reached out to offer encouragement, and share their personal experiences with the condition.If fear begets more fear, then I'm willing myself to believe that joy begets more joy -- or at least a measure of calm.

Cray Inc. (CRAY) Slips After Friday's Rally
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After exploding 39% on Friday, Cray Inc. (CRAY - Get Report) is reversing gains this week.
By early afternoon, shares had taken off 13.2% to $36.17. Trading volume of 1.5 million is more than double its three-month daily average.
On Friday, the stock rallied after the supercomputer developer reported fourth-quarter and full-year earnings well above consensus. Fiscal 2013 revenue of $525.7 million was 25% higher than a year earlier and came in as analysts had expected.
Full-year net income of 76 cents a share was 10 cents higher than consensus, according to those surveyed by Thomson Reuters.
In the three months to December, the Seattle-based company recorded net income of $1.48 a share on revenue 62% higher year over year to $307.7 million. Analysts had predicted per-share earnings of $1.36 on $300.56 million in sales. Also See: Cray (CRAY) Showing Signs Of Perilous Reversal Today Also See: Why Cray Inc. Is Exploding on Friday TheStreet Ratings team rates CRAY INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate CRAY INC (CRAY) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: CRAY Ratings Report

Everyone wants to be a part of the Nation's Triathlon. Here's why.
I was fortunate enough to attend the Nation's Triathlon this morning in Washington, DC. It was an amazing experience just sitting on the sidelines and cheering on the participants. I absolutely love people-watching, not in a creepy, voyeuristic way, but in a let's-learn-something-from-everyone-we-meet sort of way.
The biggest thing I felt as I was looking on in awe and admiration of these triathletes was how much everyone was motivated by them and how much all the onlookers supported the participants even if they didn't know them.
- Motivation is contagious: Just how willpower is contagious – if someone in your group of friends or your family becomes obese, it increases your likelihood of becoming obese as well – so is motivation. At events like this where everyone is aligned around challenging themselves rather than competing with one another, the motivation is palpable.I experienced small children and older, out-of-shape folks as well trying to run or bike alongside the participants, using the participants as motivation to complete their own exercise for the day. The onlookers feel they may not be capable of completing an entire triathlon but even if they can do a small leg of the run or bike path, that they were somehow connected to the event. And they just turned to their left and saw all these triathletes in the center of the road and connected to an instant source of motivation, on such a subconscious level, that they didn't even know it was happening. They could see participants of all ages and athletic abilities and wealth/backgrounds all on the same level, just challenging themselves to do something this difficult. The motivation just rubbed off on them and they liked the way it made them feel.
- Appreciation and support for people you don't even know keeps everyone strong: It's easy to yell and cheer for the one or two people in the triathlon that you know but I met so many supporters cheering on the rest of the participants that they didn't know as well. I wondered how they could selflessly cheer others on without any vested interest in them or whether they finished the triathlon or not. First, they have an appreciation for how difficult it is to do something like this: a 1.5k swim, 40k bike, and 10k run is no joke. That makes it easy to yell things like, "You're my hero! You can do it!" or "You look so strong! Keep it up! This is your race!" Many of the onlookers want to participate in the triathlon next year so they fully appreciate how difficult it must be to sign up and make sure you show up and take part.Or they just have tried to do one of the 3 parts to perfection and they know how hard it is to do just one thing, that it builds the respect and appreciation for those who can do all 3. This pure respect and admiration just bubbles out and you can't help but to say supportive things like this. For those of you like myself who may not be able to relate, I likened it to how I have respect and admiration for some of my favorite authors and scientists that I end up tweeting once I've read their work. And so they have decided to learn this one trait of endurance or perseverance from the participants in the race. You pick up the one or two good traits from everyone you meet and that's how you build your own personal repertoire of positive traits. If you find someone with all the positive traits you want, then you completely dedicate yourself to learning from that individual.
- Washington, DC provides an awesome, serene atmosphere: There are so many things to do and see here. I spent yesterday at the Newseum, where I was forced to think about how integrated into my life the news media has become and how important a part of it the news actually is. Today we're sitting on the Potomac River by the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, in such a historic yet peaceful and calm setting, just able to introspect and think and be motivated. Everyone's having a great time, despite the physical exhaustion. They've plugged into an energy source larger than themselves and they're recharging from it and we're recharging from them and from the entire environment and experience.

croatian summer
August 28, 2011 in inspiring places, news
I have been holidaying in Croatia since I was born. My mother is originally from the capital city Zagreb where my grandmother still lives. As soon as school in England finished for the summer my brother and I would head off to spend the holidays there.
We still return almost every summer to the small fishing village on a little island in the Adriatic Ocean where the sea is beautiful and clear, the food is simple and delicious, the cicadas chirp noisily all day and the stars shine brightly all night in the deep black sky.
My grandfather bought a barren, rock-covered plot of land almost fifty years ago and built a little one-room holiday home which has been added to over the years. There is no internet access (we only had running water connected a few years ago!) so it feels like a real holiday.
The food is amazing. Fresh fish, bought directly from the island's fishermen that morning as they unload their catches, are delicious cooked on the wood barbecue. Olives grow everywhere and the local families all make their own olive oil. The fig trees in our garden are covered in the most deliciously sweet fruits that you can pick and eat straight from the tree. And everyone grows huge, juicy tomatoes – perfect simply dressed with a little salt, homemade olive oil and vinegar. Heaven.
I've always made things whilst there and over the last couple of years we have been updating our little holiday home too. I'll be posting photos of some of the things I've been up to whilst on holiday so do pop back soon. Hvala (Thank you!)

Effective government oversight might seem like a pure notion, but the best ways to hold agencies accountable are less obvious.
According to a 2011 study by the Government Accountability Office, 30 departments and agencies have presidentially appointed inspectors general, 33 have IGs appointed by their respective leaders, and 10 have IGs who are appointed by other means. Presidential appointees must go through the sometimes arduous process of Senate confirmation to verify their ability to be objective, while the independence of IGs appointed by agency leaders can be called into question.
"It just never has made sense to me that you would have an IG that's actually hired by the person that they're supposed to be overseeing," said Sen. Claire McCaskill (D –Mo.), chairwoman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's Financial and Contracting Oversight Subcommittee, at an April 10 hearing.
Peggy Gustafson, the Small Business Administration's IG and chairwoman of the Legislative Committee of the Council of the IGs on Integrity and Efficiency, told the subcommittee that the IG Act of 1978 is effective at making IGs independent.
"I have come to really appreciate how strong the IG Act is," Gustafson said. "IGs are given a great deal of independence through that act, [regardless of] whether you're a presidential appointee."
She argued that IGs' power and independence are not dictated by how they are appointed. "It depends on who the IG is," she said. "I think you can be an IG who's a presidential appointee and allow yourself to get pushed around, or you could be [appointed by the top agency leader] and completely stand up. So in the end, it really is about the quality of the person."
However, Beryl Davis, director of financial management and assurance issues at GAO, testified that although oversight is crucial for federal agencies, there are alternatives to IGs that are more cost-effective, especially for smaller entities.
"GAO has long supported the creation of independent IG offices in appropriate federal departments, agencies and entities," Davis said. "At the same time, we have reported some concerns about creating and maintaining small IG offices with limited resources, where an IG might not have the ability to obtain the technical skills and expertise needed to provide adequate and cost-effective oversight."
Davis said GAO believes "there are alternative approaches that the Congress may wish to consider to achieve IG oversight that [are] appropriate for federal agencies with relatively small budgets and resources."
Among those approaches is using an IG from a large agency to provide oversight for a smaller but similar entity.
Michael Carroll, acting IG at the U.S. Agency for International Development, said having one IG oversee numerous entities works for USAID and its organizations, but it's not always easy.
"It is a challenge to stay focused on the smaller organizations when you have large organizations that you're overseeing," Carroll said. "It's not impossible and it's certainly doable, but…the IGs really have to stay focused on their entire portfolio."
All the agencies Carroll oversees are in the international sphere, which allows him to develop an expertise of sorts that a contracted auditor, who might have more independence, would lack.
"We understand the systems, we understand the vulnerabilities, we understand the business model, and I think that's a benefit rather than a disadvantage," he said.
Earlier this year, Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) introduced a bill -- which McCaskill has co-sponsored -- that would amend the IG Act to address some of those issues. The measure proposes IG pay standards for each federal agency and shields ongoing IG investigations from various disclosure requirements and Paperwork Reduction Act restrictions. However, the bill does not tackle the fundamental question of which agencies should have IGs and how they should be appointed.
Ultimately, Davis said, that is legislators' call to make. "These alternatives for oversight should be decided on a case-by-case basis depending on the critical nature of the small agencies' missions and the risks identified that require increased oversight," she said. "The determination of where and how to provide IG oversight...is a policy decision addressed best by the Congress."

After working together on X Factor this season (Britney as a judge and mentor and Will.i.am as her special guest), the two musicians continued their partnership into the studio to record the understated dance track Scream and Shout. Spears debuted the music video last night on X Factor and now the clip has made it's way online.
Taking cues from Michael and Janet Jackson's history making video Scream and even borrowing a bit from Spear's video for Three, the Scream and Shout visuals are simplistic, but engaging, with Spears looking the best she has in years.
Delivering her signature 'Britney bitch' line and singing in what sounds like an English accent for some of the song (Madonna would be proud), Will.i.Am's vocals make up the majority of the track with not nearly enough of Britney. Still, the song is catchy and chill, which seems a bit backwards for a track called Scream and Shout.
Check out Will.i.Am and Britney Spears in their video for Scream and Shout below.

Cape Fear Community College had reason to celebrate Tuesday morning. A new building opened for high school and college students on Cape Fear's North Campus.
After a ribbon-cutting ceremony, students and teachers got to tour the new 30,000 square foot facility. The first floor is designed for Wilmington early college high school students to earn a high school diploma and two-year associate degree in five years. CFCC cosmetology students will use the second floor to hone their skills.
CFCC President Eric MxKeithan said, "The addition of this building certainly gives us the ability to have enrolled 3 or 400 additional students this year. Without this building we certainly would not have been able to do that. In addition to having new and exciting facilities for Wilmington early college and our own very robust cosmetology program, it has loosened up a little bit of space, and we're able to serve everybody else at the same time."
To build the new facility and purchase the equipment cost $6.7 million.

LeBron James Immortalized in Giant Foam Sculpture, Dwyane Wade is Next
courtesy of PrimeTime Amusements |
Goldfarb and an oversized LeBron |
"We did this as Heat fans, almost as a spoof," says David Goldfarb, head of PrimeTime Amusements. "We don't really know where it's going to go yet."
Goldfarb recently returned from Angola -- where PrimeTime Amusements is building an entertainment center -- and found himself with a couple of weeks to fill. So, like any good Heat fan, he decided to construct a gigantic foam ode to his favorite player.
He and his crew carved a giant block of foam into LeBron's likeness, then began painting on the details. Slowly, a Godzilla-like James emerged, ready to smash a super-sized rock in Dirk Nowitzki's puny face.
"We weren't asked to build this," Goldfarb says. "We're not looking to make money on these." That said, he estimates that each statue could sell for as much as $50,000.
PrimeTime Amusements |
The sculptures are light, with the base accounting for most of their 225 pounds. Each one takes two to three weeks to finish, Goldfarb says.
Work has already begun on a humongous replica of D-Wade's head. Goldfarb hopes to have him ready by the All Star Game on February 26. Poor Bosh is less of a priority.

"This is a token of our honor for these guys," the businessman explains of his ersatz Big Three. "We just wanted to say: 'Best of luck. We are looking forward to this.'"

We look to increase access to the finance and investment needed to transform African agriculture by supporting innovative projects that demonstrate business models and reduce barriers to investment, thus encouraging greater private sector involvement.
Between 70-80% of Africa's population works in agriculture, but it is a high risk sector – vulnerable to unpredictable weather patterns, volatile international commodity prices and political interference. Such risks discourage investment, such as loans for smallholders to buy improved seeds and fertiliser or equity allowing agricultural small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to purchase the equipment and technology needed to grow. Furthermore, the cost of expanding financial services through rural areas is often prohibitively expensive for traditional business models.
These risks and costs lead to low investment, which traps agriculture in a negative spiral by leading to lower returns that leave lower funds for investment.
Gatsby understands that breaking this spiral and turning it positive is a necessary precondition for broad-based development and poverty reduction, and that this can only be achieved through greater private sector involvement. As a result, in recent years we have looked to support and incubate innovative ideas in agricultural finance and investment, taking risks to prove principles and thus encourage others to scale-up interventions. We have done this by:
We have supported two innovative private equity funds which aim for social impact and financial returns by investing in agricultural SMEs in East Africa whose growth can catalyse the value chains they operate in, benefitting large numbers of smallholders.
We have developed and piloted a research tool mapping the supply and demand of agricultural finance at a national level to provide credible, detailed information that should increase the quantity and effectiveness of investment in African agriculture.
We support this company to invest in enterprise models delivering sustainable economic development and social impact in Mozambique. It ultimately aims to encourage greater private sector investment in the country by demonstrating models and sharing lessons.

@Dented - If you want to work in the creative world, technology is where it is going. Digital distribution is king these days. You could consider a traditional medium like painting, but I've known traditional artists who use the internet to get the word out about their work even after that.
My advice would be to take any course you can in computers while you are in school. I was never great with computers myself, but once I knew more about them, that broke down the fear factor. I thought I would never do anything with graphic arts, and here I was designing newspaper layouts!
Life's all about learning, so why not give it a try?

Gossamer Albatross
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (June 2013) |
Gossamer Albatross | |
The Gossamer Albatross II at Dryden Flight Research Center in 1980 | |
Role | experimental aircraft |
National origin | United States |
Manufacturer | AeroVironment |
Designer | Paul MacCready |
First flight | 1979 |
Status | museum piece (both) |
Number built | 2 |
Developed from | Gossamer Condor |
Developed into | Gossamer Penguin |
The Gossamer Albatross is a human-powered aircraft built by American aeronautical engineer Dr. Paul B. MacCready's company AeroVironment. On June 12, 1979 it completed a successful crossing of the English Channel to win the second Kremer prize.
Design and development[edit]
The aircraft was designed and built by a team led by Paul B. MacCready, a noted US aeronautics engineer, designer, and world soaring champion. Gossamer Albatross was his second human-powered aircraft, the first being the Gossamer Condor, which had won the first Kremer prize on August 23, 1977 by completing a mile-long figure-eight course. The second Kremer challenge was then announced as a flight across the Channel recalling Louis Blériot's crossing of 1909.
The Albatross was powered using pedals to drive a large two-bladed propeller. On June 12, 1979, piloted by amateur cyclist Bryan Allen, it completed the 35.8 km (22.2 mi) crossing in 2 hours and 49 minutes, achieving a top speed of 29 km/h (18 mph) and an average altitude of 1.5 metres (5 ft).
The aircraft is of "canard" configuration, using a large horizontal stabilizer forward of the wing in a manner similar to the Wright brothers' successful "Flyer" aircraft. The Gossamer Albatross was constructed using a carbon fiber frame, with the ribs of the wings made with expanded polystyrene; the entire structure was then wrapped in a thin, transparent plastic (mylar aka PET film). The empty mass of the structure was only 32 kg (71 lb), although the gross mass for the Channel flight was almost 100 kg (220 lb). To maintain the craft in the air it was designed with very long tapering wings (high aspect ratio), like those of a glider, allowing the flight to be undertaken with a minimum of power. In still air the required power was of the order of 300 W (0.4 horsepower), though even mild turbulence made this figure rise rapidly. The Albatross I is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Udvar-Hazy Center.
MacCready's team built two Albatrosses; the back-up plane was jointly tested as part of the NASA Langley/Dryden flight research program in 1980 and was also flown inside the Houston Astrodome, the first ever controlled indoor flight by a human-powered aircraft. The Albatross II is currently on display at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington.
Alistair Cooke devoted some of his Letter From America broadcast of 15/17 Jun 1979 to Allen's achievement.

Meet your new DNC keynote speaker: The Post-Hispanic Hispanic Politician, Zev Chafets, The New York Times
Castro was neither flustered nor flattered by the president's bantering familiarity. Of course Obama knew who he wasgate-crashers might make it into White House social events, but they don't get to the table of high-level West Wing policy meetings led by the president himself. Castro smiled politely at Obama's jest and then proceeded to the business at hand, delivering prepared remarks about employment and the energy market in San Antonio. He is cerebral, serious, self-contained and highly efficient. If he were an energy source, he'd be zero-emission. A video of the event shows the president listening intently to Castro's presentation and nodding occasionally, Harvard Law '91 silently encouraging Harvard Law '00.A few days before the meeting, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood visited San Antonio and told the mayor that he was "on the radar in Washington." The morning of the meeting, Castro was included in a small working breakfast hosted by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; Valerie Jarrett, one of the president's closest advisers, was there, too. Castro was being noticed and auditioned. It had been about a dozen years since another brilliant young man from San Antonio, Henry Cisneros, regarded by many as the emerging national leader of the Hispanic wing of the Democratic Party, lost his political future in a sex-and-money scandal. Cisneros's implosion left an opening. For a while, Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico, and Antonio Villaraigosa, the mayor of Los Angeles, were Great Hispanic Hopes, but scandals eventually knocked them out of contention too.
Whatever helps you sleep at night Lies the Parties are Telling Themselves, Alexander Burns and Maggie Haberman, Politico
It's one of the most reliable cliches of the 2012 campaign: no president since Franklin Roosevelt has been reelected with unemployment over 7.2 percent. As Obama campaigns with the jobless rate over 8 percent, Republicans have pointed to that figure as proof that the Democrat is all but disqualified.There's no question that the economy is the biggest anchor on Obama's campaign. But the historical data is also a bit facile. There have been three presidents since Roosevelt who campaigned for reelection with an economy this weak: Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George H. W. Bush.
They all lost, but they also all faced substantial problems on top of the economy: Ford was campaigning in the shadow of Watergate (and very nearly won.) Carter had the Iranian hostage crisis. Bush faced a destabilizing third-party challenge from Ross Perot.
What's more, presidents have won reelection under challenging circumstances. Harry Truman is the most famous one, barely capturing a second term in a bad economy by campaigning against an intransigent Congress. But Richard Nixon also coasted to reelection despite the grim state of the war in Vietnam and George W. Bush overcame concerns about Iraq to defeat his opponent.

Elliot Rodger's parents frantically tried to find their son on May 23 while he was on a shooting spree — he had emailed them his 140-page manifesto just hours before. Unfortunately, they were too late.
At 9:17PM on May 23, Lichin Rodger, the mother of Elliot Rodger, received an email from her son with his manifesto, "My Twisted World." This lead her to his extremely disturbing "Retribution" YouTube video. At that time, she called her estranged husband, Peter Rodger, then 911, and the two went searching for their son.
Elliot Rodger's Parents Tried To Stop Him
It's hard to imagine the feeling that Lichin and Peter were feeling after reading their son's horrifying plans followed by an even scarier YouTube video.
Just a few hours before going on a killing spree, the 22-year-old sent the manifesto to a few dozen people including at least one of his therapists and his parents, Simone Astaire, a close family friend, told CNN.
However, when Elliot's frantic parents headed to Santa Barbara to search for their son, they heard about a shooting on the radio — and later found out it was their son who injured 13, and killed six before taking his own life.
Elliot's Mother Called Police A Month Ago To Investigate Videos
In April, Linchin watched some of Elliot's YouTube videos, many that are very disturbing, and called his therapist. The therapist called a mental health hotline, which sent over police to check on him.
When they arrived at his home on April 30, they reassured his mother that he was OK, Simone told CNN.
Deputies "determined he did not meet the criteria for an involuntary hold," Sheriff Bill Brown said in a press conference. However, now the parents are frustrated and feel that was a "pivotal moment" and "missed opportunity." However, they do realize that hindsight is alway 20/20.
In the manifesto, Elliot described the moment the police arrived, writing:
I had the striking and devastating fear that someone had somehow discovered what I was planning to do, and reported me for it. If that was the case, the police would have searched my room, found all of my guns and weapons, along with my writings about what I plan to do with them. I would have been thrown in jail, denied of the chance to exact revenge on my enemies. I can't imagine a hell darker than that. If they had demanded to search my room … That would have ended everything. For a few horrible seconds I thought it was all over. When they left, the biggest wave of relief swept over me.
So scary! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Elliot's family, as well as all other families involved.

Governing Documents
Brooklyn Community Foundation and the activities of its board members and staff are governed by these two documents:
Grantmaking Oversight
The Board of Directors determines the programmatic focus areas of the foundation's grant making. Within these guidelines, the foundation president and senior staff have the authority for approving most grants. Grants of $50,000 or more require Board of Directors review and approval. The Board reviews approved grants at their regular board meetings, which take place four times a year.
Conflict of Interest Policy
Independence is required of all board members and staff of the Foundation. Each individual completes and signs a conflict of interest survey annually. When the staff proposes that the foundation fund an organization with which a trustee or staff members is affiliated as an employee, officer or trustee, the grant review document discloses the nature of the affiliation and confirms that the member of the board or staff played no role in the initiation or negotiation of the grant.
Section 12 of the Bylaws state "Any potential conflict of interest which could result in a direct or indirect financial or personal benefit of a director, officer, or staff member must be disclosed in good faith and made known to the Board of Director, or committee authorizing the grant, contract or other transaction. The interested party may not participate to any extent of the Board of Directors meeting or committee meeting considering such grant, but will retire from the room from which the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof is meeting prior to the commencement of discussion thereof. Such interested individual may not vote on such grant, contract or other transaction."

NBA Playoffs
Keidel: King's Crown Melting?

Looks like a good game so far. Since SC4 remains as one of my favorite games, and a game that has ruined every other Sim game for me (because others are not as good). I will buy it. I am assuming because Maxis is on board for it, it will ship with Mac support. Otherwise, I will have to wait for it to come.

Digital Life | Gift guide for women
PUBLISHED: 13 Dec 2012 20:14:25 | UPDATED: 14 Dec 2012 12:49:28PUBLISHED: 14 Dec 2012 PRINT EDITION: 14 Dec 2012Olympus E-PM2.
John Davidson
Logitech UE 900
Noise-cancelling headphones are all well and good, but do you really want to get off a 24-hour flight to Barcelona with irreversible headphone hair? No? Try a pair of Logitech UE 900s instead, the closest thing Ultimate Ears (now owned by Logitech) does to professional monitors, short of its actual range of custom-fitted in-ear monitors worn by musicians and sound engineers the world over. UE 900s are noise-isolating earphones, rather than noise-cancelling headphones, but fitted right they can be quieter and more comfortable for long flights. Not that these things are quiet. With four armatures (little speaker drivers) including two bass armatures in each ear, they pump out a big, big sound. And the cable is perfectly braided, too, just like your hair will still be at the end of the flight. $499.
Olympus PEN Mini E-PM2
Just because you like red doesn't mean your photos should come out with red skin tones. Olympus's E-PM2 has got the same, high-end image sensor and processor as the fancy OM-D E-M5, but it's in a smaller, easier-to-use camera with a touchscreen that means you can use it just like an iPhone – only, the pictures are nothing like iPhone pics. The large(ish) image sensor gives you much better performance in low light, and much more subtle focus control than you get from a phone camera, or indeed from a point and shoot camera. The lenses on the E-PM2 are interchangeable, and between Olympus and Panasonic, which also makes lenses that fit the camera's "Micro Four Thirds" format, there's a wide range to choose from, and some are just awesome. Get the E-PM2 this Christmas, and you'll be able to get new lenses every Christmas from now on. $599 with 14-42mm zoom lens.
Nokia Lumia 920
If someone gets you a Nokia Lumia 920 for Christmas, it means they love you very much. These things are super hard to find – they've sold out around the world since they were launched a few weeks ago. They're also super nice to use, running as they do Microsoft's super-stylish Windows Phone 8 operating system. The Lumia 920 is Nokia's flagship phone, and it's got a super screen, a really super camera (though nowhere near as good as the Olympus) and it comes in super-bright colours. It's super heavy, too. Put one in your handbag and you've got a lethal weapon for fighting off crowds at post-Christmas super sales. $696.
Swissvoice ePure Bluetooth Station
We don't know if pressing a mobile phone up against your face all day is bad for the look of your brain in a CAT scan, but we do know it's bad for the look of the phone (depending, of course, on how greasy your face is, and how much make-up you were wearing before you smeared it all over the screen). Either way, a Bluetooth handset like the ePure Bluetooth Station can save the day. Connect your mobile phone to it over a Bluetooth wireless connection, and it looks and acts like a good old-fashioned telephone, with a sticky out mouthpiece and a sticky out earpiece, to keep clear of your face. Plus, it comes with a built-in charging dock, either for regular USB phones or for iPhones other than the iPhone 5, depending on which ePure Bluetooth Station you buy. $149, or $159 for iPhone version.

text: If I wasn't so wedded to my adopted home state of Wyoming, I would live in Texas. I've visited that state many times and done a lot of hunting there. It's just a fun place to go to. Now I see from fellow outdoor bum J.R. Absher's "Outdoor Pressroom" that my second favorite state has just legalized the use of firearm suppressors for the taking of game animals. Scott Vaca, TPWD Assistant Chief of Wildlife Enforcement, hit the nail on the head when he said, "These devices are already legal for hunting exotic animals, including feral hogs, and there is no resource- or enforcement-related reason to prohibit these devices for hunting alligators, game animals or game birds." Last year, Kansas legalized suppressed firearms for taking game animals, and I am working with others to do the same here in Wyoming. It's high time we get with the 21st century and discard the hoplophobic chains of arcane laws. The issue here is one of public health. Everyone knows that raw gunfire harms one's hearing. As one who has lost—as of my last test some six years ago—two-thirds of my high-frequency hearing, I can attest to that fact. If you live in one of the 39 states where suppressors are legal, perhaps you should give some thought to initiating some truly progressive legislation removing this inexplicable law.

An elderly woman has died at a home in Toronto's east end, while an elderly man is clinging to life in hospital, police say.
Emergency crews were called after the two, believed to be in their 70s, were found without vital signs at a home on Ladykirk Avenue, near Woodbine Avenue and Gerrard Street, around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday.
A 911 call was placed to police but no further details were provided.
The woman's death is considered suspicious, so the homicide unit is assisting with the investigation, Det.-Sgt. Wayne Banks said.
Police will rule on whether it's a homicide once an autopsy is completed Thursday.
Banks wouldn't provide details about the cause other than "there were some obvious signs of trauma but we have to establish how that trauma got there."
The man's condition is "grave."
"Our hope is for a speedy recovery for him," he said.
