Boilerplate Shock: Sovereign Debt Contracts as Incubators of Systemic RiskGregory H. ShillNew York University School of Law December 1, 2014 89 Tulane Law Review __ (2015, Forthcoming) U Denver Legal Studies Research Paper No. 14-16 Abstract: Scholars generally assess the usefulness of standard-form securities contracts from the perspective of the firms that use them. But these firm-centric accounts overlook the cumulative impact of standardization on markets. Where the market in question is critical to the financial system, this oversight can be quite consequential. This article examines the coordinated use of two standard contract terms in European sovereign bonds, a market viewed by many as the greatest source of global economic instability in the five years following the 2007-09 financial crisis. By common account, these terms — which require that the bonds be paid in euro and that any dispute be resolved under foreign law — are beneficial or at least benign. They are more rigid than is currently appreciated, however, and are in standard use in many correlated contracts that govern Eurozone sovereign debt. Among other things, the collective character of these terms means that a single, unexpected default might touch off cascade effects — a "run" — on other Eurozone sovereign bonds and perhaps financial markets more broadly. The latent potential of networks of standard contracts to transmit systemic risk has fundamental repercussions not only for the multitrillion-dollar sovereign lending market, but for the design of securities contracts and the project of systemic risk mitigation more generally. Currently, the law lacks even a vocabulary to describe this phenomenon, let alone a mechanism to manage it. This article proposes a new rule to address the challenge of what might be called "boilerplate shock" in the Eurozone, and beyond that market argues for greater appreciation of the potential of networked private contracts in securities markets.

10 Most Expensive Tickets In Major League Baseball in 2014
7. Minnesota Twins
Average ticket price: $32.59
Change from 2013: 0%
Man, what happened to this franchise? The Twins have finished at or near the bottom of the American League Central Division for the past three years after being a perennial playoff contender. Their relatively new home at Target Field has known little else but misery since the team was swept out of the only playoff series the building hosted during its inaugural season in 2010. Now fans spend the early portions of the Twins' lethargic campaigns freezing in the outdoor facility or getting snowed out, while the Twins' two World Series titles fade further into memory. The Metrodome was bleak, but it wasn't this bad.

Smith caught three passes for 20 yards against the Jets on Sunday. He now has 63 catches for 701 yards and four touchdowns this year.
At this point, you shouldn't be too surprised by this. Smith isn't going to hit 1,000 yards, and his age may be showing. He's not really worth starting in most leagues now.

May. 18. 1776
My dear Sir
Yours of 8 May received this Morning, and am as I ever have been much of your Opinion that The Enemy would return to the Massachusetts if possible. They will probably land at Hingham or Braintree, or somewhere to the Northward of Boston, not make a direct Attempt upon Boston itself, the next Time. I hope no Pains, no Labour or expence will be neglected to fortify the Harbour of Boston however. Your Militia you say is in a broken State, but dont explain what you mean. I was in hopes that the late Militia Law had put them in a good Condition.
You must depend upon them chiefly. We have been labouring here to procure you Some assistance, and have obtained a Vote, that the 5 Battallions now with you be filled up, and three Additional ones raised, two in Mass, one in Connecticutt.
A Major General and Brigadier, are to go to Boston. You must not hesitate at any Thing for your own Defence. New York and Canada, will take an infinite Expence. We did our best, but could procure no more at present. If an Impression should be made on you, the Continent will interpose, but they never will believe it untill it takes Place.
This Day has brought us the Dismals from Canada. Defeated most ignominiously. Where shall We lay the blame?
America duped and bubbled with the Phantom of Commissioners, has been fast asleep and left that important Post undefended, unsupported. The Ministry have caught the Colonies, as I have often caught a Horse, by holding out an empty Hat, as if it was full of Corn, or as many a Sportsman has shot Woodcocks, by making an old Horse Stalk before him, and hide him from the Sight of the Bird. Nothing has ever put my Patience to the Tryal so much as to see Knaves imposing upon Fools, by Such Artifices. I wash my Hands of this Guilt, I have reasoned, I have ridiculed, I have fretted, and declaimed, against this fatal Delusion, from the Beginning. But a Torrent is not to be impeded by Reasoning nor a Storm allayed by Ridicule. In my situation, altho I have not and will not be restrained from a Freedom of Speech yet a Decorum must be observed, and ever has been by me. But I have often wished that all America knew, as much as I do of the Springs of Action and the Motions of the Machine. I do not think it prudent nor Safe to write freely upon these Subjects even to my most faithfull Friends.
Providence has hitherto preserved Us, and I firmly believe will continue to do so. But it gives me inexpressible Grief that by our own Folly, and Wickedness, We should deserve it so very ill as We do.
{ 193 }
What shall We Say of this Scandalous Flight from Quebec? It seems to be fated that New England Officers, should not Support a Character. Wooster is the object now of Contempt, and Detestation,
of those who ought to be the Contempt and Detestation of all America for their indefatigable Obstruction to every Measure which has been meditated, for the Support of our Power in Canada. Our Province must find Some Way of Making better Officers, and of engaging abler Men, in her Councils as well as her Arms or I know not what will be the Consequence, instead of which she Seems to me to be contriving Means to drive every Man of real Abilities out of her service.
I hope you will not decline the Appointment you mention however. Nothing would make me so happy as your Acceptance of that Place. I am extreamly unhappy to hear of your ill Health, hope that will mend. There is certainly no Man in the Province who would be so agreable to me. I cant bear the Thought of your refusing.
Rejoice to hear that my Friends Crafts and Trott are in the service. Will it do to promote my Pupil Austin? His Genius is equal to any Thing. Would not promotion, mend him of his Faults. Can nothing be done for Ward, Aid de Camp and Secretary to General Ward? He is an honest, faithfull daring Man, I think, and Sensible enough. He really deserves Promotion.
Is it possible to get in Boston silver and Gold for the service in Canada? Our Affairs have been ruin'd there for Want of it, and can never be retrieved without it. Pray let me know if any sum can be had in our Province.
I shall inclose you a News Paper, which when you have read send along to Braintree.
I am and have been these twelve Months, fully of your Opinion that We have nothing to depend upon for our Preservation from Destruction, but the kind Assistance of Heaven to our own Union and vigorous Exertions. I was ripe therefore for as explicit Declarations as Language could express Twelve Months ago. But the Colonies separately have neglected their Duty, as much as the Congress, and We cannot march faster than our Constituents will follow us. We dont always go quick enough to keep out of their Way.

I had originally intended to spend today (Monday, Feb. 16) doing a couple of short surveys for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count. But Sunday morning amid more and more (and more and more dire) weather forecasts warning of some pretty heavy winter weather coming our way I began to contemplate counting Sunday instead. Around 9 a.m. Sunday I peeked out the downstairs window. Well, in my yard were 17 wild turkeys. It looked like a large group of jakes and gobblers.

Shareholders of Evans Bancorp Inc. are set to receive a 6 percent boost in dividend payments.
A lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court claims loan officers in M&T Bank's Park Avenue office purposely limited information about a first-time homebuyer program
Evans Bancorp Inc. did not reach a settlement this week with the New York State Attorney's General Office regarding accusations of intentional discriminatory mortgage lending.
Five Star Bank N.A. has agreed to shell out $900,000 and open two retail bank branches in Rochester to settle an investigation by the state into the bank's mortgage lending practices.
At least two law firms that specialize in securities litigation and shareholder rights laws are contemplating taking action against Evans Bancorp Inc. for alleged discriminatory lending.
Those who stayed with domestic sectors were generally satisfied with their returns in 2014 — while international markets did not realize the growth many expected at the beginning of the year.
Representatives from the bank and the AG's office are scheduled to meet Jan. 21 with an arbitrator on the federal lawsuit that charges Evans with deliberate racial discrimination.
Evans Bancorp Inc. has filed a formal response denying racial discrimination allegations made against the bank two months ago by the New York State Attorney General's Office.
The parent company of Evans Bank N.A. plans to refute a series of racial discrimination charges when it responds to a lawsuit filed last month by the state Attorney General's Office.
The Angola-based parent company of Evans Bank N.A. reported net income of nearly $2.3 million or 54 cents per share at the end of September.
Executives at Evans Bancorp Inc. must now respond to a lawsuit filed Sept. 2 that accuses the Angola-headquartered banking company of intentional racial discrimination in residential mortgage lending.
The New York State Attorney General's office has filed a lawsuit against Evans Bancorp for engaging in discriminatory lending practices related to residential mortgages.
Officials at Evans Bancorp Inc. continue to adamantly deny any wrongdoing related to the New York state Attorney General's investigation of the company's residential mortgage lending practices.
The parent of Evans Bank N.A. reported net income of $1.6 million or 37 cents per share for the second quarter. A year ago, net income totaled $1.9 million or 46 cents per share.
Financial Institutions Inc. announced this week that it expects to finalize the acquisition of Scott Danahy Naylon Co. Inc. during the third quarter of 2014.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Limited notes in an ancient Egyptian document known as the Ebers papyrus appear to describe disordered states of concentration and attention, and emotional distress in the heart or mind.[1] Some of these have been interpreted as indicating what would later be termed hysteria and melancholy. Somatic treatments typically included applying bodily fluids while reciting magical spells. Hallucinogens may have been used as part of healing rituals. Religious temples may have been used as therapeutic retreats, possibly for the induction of receptive states to facilitate sleep and the interpreting of dreams.[2]
Ancient Hindu and Punjabi scriptures known as Ramayana and Mahabharata contain fictional descriptions of depression and anxiety states. Mental disorders were generally thought to reflect abstract metaphysical entities, supernatural agents, sorcery or witchcraft. A work known as the Charaka Samhita from circa 600 BC, part of the Hindu Ayurveda ("knowledge of life"), saw ill health as resulting from an imbalance among three kinds of bodily fluids or forces called Dosha. Different personality types were also described, with different propensities to worries or difficulties. Suggested causes included inappropriate diet; disrespect towards the gods, teachers or others; mental shock due to excessive fear or joy; and faulty bodily activity. Treatments included the use of herbs and ointments, charms and prayers, moral or emotional persuasion, and shocking the person.[3]
Mental disorders were treated mainly under Traditional Chinese Medicine by herbs, acupuncture or "emotional therapy". The Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor described symptoms, mechanisms and therapies for mental illness, emphasizing connections between bodily organs and emotions. Conditions were thought to comprise five stages or elements and imbalance between Yin and yang.[4]
In ancient Greece and Rome, madness was associated stereotypically with aimless wandering and violence. However, Socrates considered positive aspects including prophesying (a 'manic art'); mystical initiations and rituals; poetic inspiration; and the madness of lovers. Now often seen as the very epitome of rational thought and as the founder of philosophy, Socrates freely admitted to experiencing what are now called "command hallucinations" (then called his 'daemon'). Pythagoras also heard voices.[5] Hippocrates (470-ca.360 BC) classified mental disorders, including paranoia, epilepsy, mania and melancholia.[6]
Through long contact with Greek culture, and their eventual conquest of Greece, the Romans absorbed many Greek (and other) ideas on medicine.[7] The humoral theory fell out of favor in some quarters. The Greek physician Asclepiades (c. 124 – 40 BC), who practiced in Rome, discarded it and advocated humane treatments, and had insane persons freed from confinement and treated them with natural therapy, such as diet and massages. Arateus (ca AD 30–90) argued that it is hard to pinpoint where a mental illness comes from. However, Galen (AD 129 – ca. 200), practicing in Greece and Rome, revived humoral theory.[8] Galen, however, adopted a single symptom approach rather than broad diagnostic categories, for example studying separate states of sadness, excitement, confusion and memory loss.[5]
Playwrights such as Homer, Sophocles and Euripides described madmen driven insane by the gods, imbalanced humors or circumstances. As well as the triad (of which mania was often used as an overarching term for insanity) there were a variable and overlapping range of terms for such things as delusion, eccentricity, frenzy, and lunacy. Physician Celsus argued that insanity is really present when a continuous dementia begins due to the mind being at the mercy of imaginings. He suggested that people must heal their own souls through philosophy and personal strength. He described common practices of dietetics, bloodletting, drugs, talking therapy, incubation in temples, exorcism, incantations and amulets, as well as restraints and "tortures" to restore rationality, including starvation, being terrified suddenly, agitation of the spirit, and stoning and beating. Most, however, did not receive medical treatment but stayed with family or wandered the streets, vulnerable to assault and derision. Accounts of delusions from the time included people who thought themselves to be famous actors or speakers, animals, inanimate objects, or one of the gods. Some were arrested for political reasons, such as Jesus ben Ananias who was eventually released as a madman after showing no concern for his own fate during torture.
Passages of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament have been interpreted as describing mood disorders in figures such as Job, King Saul and in the psalms of David.[8] Nebuchadnezzar is described as temporarily losing his sanity.[9] Mental disorder was not a problem like any other, caused by one of the gods, but rather caused by problems in the relationship between the individual and God.[citation needed] They believed that abnormal behavior was the result of possessions that represented the wrath and punishment from God. This punishment was seen as a withdrawal of God's protection and the abandonment of the individual to evil forces. [10]
Persian and Arabic scholars were heavily involved in translating, analysing and synthesising Greek texts and concepts. As the Muslim world expanded, Greek concepts were integrated with religious thought and over time, new ideas and concepts were developed. Arab texts from this period contain discussions of melancholia, mania, hallucinations, delusions, and other mental disorders. Mental disorder was generally connected to loss of reason, and writings covered links between the brain and disorders, and spiritual/mystical meaning of disorders.[11] wrote about fear and anxiety, anger and aggression, sadness and depression, and obsessions.
Authors who wrote on mental disorders and/or proposed treatments during this period include Al-Balkhi, Al-Razi, Al-Farabi, Ibn-Sina, Al-Majusi[12] Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi, Averroes,[13] and Unhammad[14]
Under Islam, the mentally ill were considered incapable yet deserving of humane treatment and protection. For example, Sura 4:5 of the Qur'an states "Do not give your property which God assigned you to manage to the insane: but feed and cloth the insane with this property and tell splendid words to him"[15] Some thought mental disorder could be caused by possession by a djin (genie), which could be either good or demon-like. There were sometimes beatings to exorcise djin, or alternatively over-zealous attempts at cures.[16] Islamic views often merged with local traditions. In Morocco the traditional Berber people were animists and the concept of sorcery was integral to the understanding of mental disorder; it was mixed with the Islamic concepts of djin and often treated by religious scholars combining the roles of holy man, sage, seer and sorcerer.[17]
The first psychiatric hospital ward was founded in Baghdad in 705, and insane asylums were built in Fes in the early 8th century, Cairo in 800 and in Damascus and Aleppo in 1270. Insane patients were treated using baths, drugs, music and activities.[citation needed] In the centuries to come, The Muslim world would eventually serve as a critical way station of knowledge for Renaissance Europe, through the Latin translations of many scientific Islamic texts. Ibn-Sina's (Avicenna's) Canon of Medicine became the standard of medical science in Europe for centuries, together with works of Hippocrates and Galen.[18]
Conceptions of madness in the Middle Ages in Europe were a mixture of the divine, diabolical, magical and transcendental. Theories of the four humors (black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood) were applied, sometimes separately (a matter of "physic") and sometimes combined with theories of evil spirits (a matter of "faith"). Arnaldus de Villanova (1235–1313) combined "evil spirit" and Galen-oriented "four humours" theories and promoted trephining as a cure to let demons and excess humours escape. Other bodily remedies in general use included purges, bloodletting and whipping. Madness was often seen as a moral issue, either a punishment for sin or a test of faith and character. Christian theology endorsed various therapies, including fasting and prayer for those estranged from God and exorcism of those possessed by the devil.[19] Thus, although mental disorder was often thought to be due to sin, other more mundane causes were also explored, including intemperate diet and alcohol, overwork, and grief.[20] The Franciscan monk Bartholomeus Anglicus (ca. 1203 – 1272) described a condition which resembles depression in his encyclopedia, De Proprietatibis Rerum, and he suggested that music would help. A semi-official tract called the Praerogativa regis distinguished between the "natural born idiot" and the "lunatic". The latter term was applied to those with periods of mental disorder; deriving from either Roman mythology describing people "moonstruck" by the goddess Luna[21] or theories of an influence of the moon.[22][23]
Episodes of mass dancing mania are reported from the Middle Ages, "which gave to the individuals affected all the appearance of insanity".[24] This was one kind of mass delusion or mass hysteria/panic that has occurred around the world through the millennia.[25]
The care of lunatics was primarily the responsibility of the family. In England, if the family were unable or unwilling, an assessment was made by crown representatives in consultation with a local jury and all interested parties, including the subject himself or herself. The process was confined to those with real estate or personal estate, but it encompassed poor as well as rich and took into account psychological and social issues. Most of those considered lunatics at the time probably had more support and involvement from the community than people diagnosed with mental disorders today.[26] As in other eras, visions were generally interpreted as meaningful spiritual and visionary insights; some may have been causally related to mental disorders, but since hallucinations were culturally supported they may not have had the same connections as today.[27]
Some mentally disturbed people may have been victims of the witch-hunts that spread in waves in early modern Europe.[28] However, those judged insane were increasingly admitted to local workhouses, poorhouses and jails (particularly the "pauper insane") or sometimes to the new private madhouses.[29] Restraints and forcible confinement were used for those thought dangerously disturbed or potentially violent to themselves, others or property.[19] The latter likely grew out of lodging arrangements for single individuals (who, in workhouses, were considered disruptive or ungovernable) then there were a few catering each for only a handful of people, then they gradually expanded (e.g. 16 in London in 1774, and 40 by 1819). By the mid-19th century there would be 100 to 500 inmates in each. The development of this network of madhouses has been linked to new capitalist social relations and a service economy, that meant families were no longer able or willing to look after disturbed relatives.[30]
Madness was commonly depicted in literary works, such as the plays of Shakespeare.[31][32]
By the end of the 17th century and into the Enlightenment, madness was increasingly seen as an organic physical phenomenon, no longer involving the soul or moral responsibility. The mentally ill were typically viewed as insensitive wild animals. Harsh treatment and restraint in chains was seen as therapeutic, helping suppress the animal passions. There was sometimes a focus on the management of the environment of madhouses, from diet to exercise regimes to number of visitors. Severe somatic treatments were used, similar to those in medieval times.[19] Madhouse owners sometimes boasted of their ability with the whip. Treatment in the few public asylums was also barbaric, often secondary to prisons. The most notorious was Bedlam where at one time spectators could pay a penny to watch the inmates as a form of entertainment.[33][34]
Concepts based in humoral theory gradually gave way to metaphors and terminology from mechanics and other developing physical sciences. Complex new schemes were developed for the classification of mental disorders, influenced by emerging systems for the biological classification of organisms and medical classification of diseases.
The term "crazy" (from Middle English meaning cracked) and insane (from Latin insanus meaning unhealthy) came to mean mental disorder in this period. The term "lunacy", long used to refer to periodic disturbance or epilepsy, came to be synonymous with insanity. "Madness", long in use in root form since at least the early centuries AD, and originally meaning crippled, hurt or foolish, came to mean loss of reason or self-restraint. "Psychosis", from Greek "principle of life/animation", had varied usage referring to a condition of the mind/soul. "Nervous", from an Indo-European root meaning to wind or twist, meant muscle or vigor, was adopted by physiologists to refer to the body's electrochemical signalling process (thus called the nervous system), and was then used to refer to nervous disorders and neurosis. "Obsession", from a Latin root meaning to sit on or sit against, originally meant to besiege or be possessed by an evil spirit, came to mean a fixed idea that could decompose the mind.[35]
With the rise of madhouses and the professionalization and specialization of medicine, there was considerable incentive for medical doctors to become involved. In the 18th century, they began to stake a claim to a monopoly over madhouses and treatments. Madhouses could be a lucrative business, and many made a fortune from them. There were some bourgeois ex-patient reformers who opposed the often brutual regimes, blaming both the madhouse owners and the medics, who in turn resisted the reforms.[30]
Towards the end of the 18th century, a moral treatment movement developed, that implemented more humane, psychosocial and personalized approaches. Notable figures included the medic Vincenzo Chiarugi in Italy under Enlightenment leadership; the ex-patient superintendent Pussin and the psychologically inclined medic Phillipe Pinel in revolutionary France; the Quakers in England, led by businessman William Tuke; and later, in the United States, campaigner Dorothea Dix.
The 19th century, in the context of industrialization and population growth, saw a massive expansion of the number and size of insane asylums in every Western country, a process called "the great confinement" or the "asylum era". Laws were introduced to compel authorities to deal with those judged insane by family members and hospital superintendents. Although originally based on the concepts and structures of moral treatment, they became large impersonal institutions overburdened with large numbers of people with a complex mix of mental and social-economic problems.[29] The success of moral treatment had cast doubt on the approach of medics, and many had opposed it, but by the mid-19th century many became advocates of it but argued that the mad also often had physical/organic problems, so that both approaches were necessary. This argument has been described as an important step in the profession's eventual success in securing a monopoly on the treatment of lunacy. However, it is well documented that very little therapeutic activity occurred in the new asylum system, that medics were little more than administrators who seldom attended to patients, and then mainly for other physical problems.[30]
Clear descriptions of some syndromes, such as the condition that would later be termed schizophrenia, have been identified as relatively rare prior to the 19th century,[36] although interpretations of the evidence and its implications are inconsistent.[37]
Numerous different classification schemes and diagnostic terms were developed by different authorities, taking an increasingly anatomical-clinical descriptive approach. The term "psychiatry" was coined as the medical specialty became more academically established. Asylum superintendents, later to be psychiatrists, were generally called "alienists" because they were thought to deal with people alienated from society; they adopted largely isolated and managerial roles in the asylums while milder "neurotic" conditions were dealt with by neurologists and general physicians, although there was overlap for conditions such as neurasthenia.[38]
In the United States it was proposed that black slaves who tried to escape were suffering from a mental disorder termed drapetomania. It was then argued in scientific journals that mental disorders were rare under conditions of slavery but became more common following emancipation, and later that mental illness in African Americans was due to evolutionary factors or various negative characteristics, and that they were not suitable for therapeutic intervention.[39]
By the 1870s in North America, officials who ran Lunatic Asylums renamed them Insane Asylums. By the late century, the term "asylum" had lost its original meaning as a place of refuge, retreat or safety, and was associated with abuses that had been widely publicized in the media, including by ex-patient organization the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society and ex-patients like Elizabeth Packard.[21]
The relative proportion of the public officially diagnosed with mental disorders was increasing, however. This has been linked to various factors, including possibly humanitarian concern; incentives for professional status/money; a lowered tolerance of communities for unusual behavior due to the existence of asylums to place them in (this affected the poor the most); and the strain placed on families by industrialization.[30]
The turn of the 20th century saw the development of psychoanalysis, which came to the fore later. Kraepelin's classification gained popularity, including the separation of mood disorders from what would later be termed schizophrenia.[40]
Asylum superintendents sought to improve the image and medical status of their profession. Asylum "inmates" were increasingly referred to as "patients" and asylums renamed as hospitals. Referring to people as having a "mental illness" dates from this period in the early 20th century.[21]
In the United States, a "mental hygiene" movement, originally defined in the 19th century, gained momentum and aimed to "prevent the disease of insanity" through public health methods and clinics.[41] The term mental health became more popular, however. Clinical psychology and social work developed as professions alongside psychiatry. Theories of eugenics led to compulsory sterilization movements in many countries around the world for several decades, often encompassing patients in public mental institutions.[42] World War I saw a massive increase of conditions that came to be termed "shell shock".
In Nazi Germany, the institutionalized mentally ill were among the earliest targets of sterilization campaigns and covert "euthanasia" programs.[43] It has been estimated that over 200,000 individuals with mental disorders of all kinds were put to death, although their mass murder has received relatively little historical attention. Despite not being formally ordered to take part, psychiatrists and psychiatric institutions were at the center of justifying, planning and carrying out the atrocities at every stage, and "constituted the connection" to the later annihilation of Jews and other "undesirables" such as homosexuals in the Holocaust.[44]
In other areas of the world, funding was often cut for asylums, especially during periods of economic decline, and during wartime in particular many patients starved to death.[45] Soldiers received increased psychiatric attention, and World War II saw the development in the US of a new psychiatric manual for categorizing mental disorders, which along with existing systems for collecting census and hospital statistics led to the first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) followed suit with a section on mental disorders.
Previously restricted to the treatment of severely disturbed people in asylums, psychiatrists cultivated clients with a broader range of problems, and between 1917 and 1970 the number practicing outside institutions swelled from 8 percent to 66 percent.[46] The term stress, having emerged from endocrinology work in the 1930s, was popularized with an increasingly broad biopsychosocial meaning, and was increasingly linked to mental disorders.[47]"Outpatient commitment" laws were gradually expanded or introduced in some countries.
Lobotomies, Insulin shock therapy, Electro convulsive therapy, and the "neuroleptic" chlorpromazine came in to use mid-century.
An antipsychiatry movement came to the fore in the 1960s. Deinstitutionalization gradually occurred in the West, with isolated psychiatric hospitals being closed down in favor of community mental health services. However, inadequate services and continued social exclusion often led to many being homeless or in prison.[48] A consumer/survivor movement gained momentum.
Other kinds of psychiatric medication gradually came into use, such as "psychic energizers" and lithium. Benzodiazepines gained widespread use in the 1970s for anxiety and depression, until dependency problems curtailed their popularity. Advances in neuroscience and genetics led to new research agendas. Cognitive behavioral therapy was developed. Through the 1990s, new SSRI antidepressants became some of the most widely prescribed drugs in the world.
The DSM and then ICD adopted new criteria-based classification, representing a return to a Kraepelin-like descriptive system. The number of "official" diagnoses saw a large expansion, although homosexuality was gradually downgraded and dropped in the face of human rights protests. Different regions sometimes developed alternatives such as the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders or Latin American Guide for Psychiatric Diagnosis.
Starting from 2002 DSM-5 Research Agenda researchers were invited to contribute with their publication to the literature basis for the DSM-5, whose draft criteria are now available to the scientific community [1]. In the meanwhile, serious limits of the current version of the DSM extremely high comorbidity, diagnostic heterogeneity of the categories, unclear boundaries have been interpreted as intrinsic anomalies of the criterial, neopositivistic approach leading the system to a state of scientific crisis.[49] Accordingly, a radical rethinking of the concept of mental disorder and the need of a radical scientific revolution in psychiatric taxonomy was proposed.[50]

STILLWATER — Todd Monken is gone, clearly needed in Hattiesburg, Miss., where he's the new head coach of a Southern Miss program in much need of work following an 0-12 season.
Oklahoma State football: Cowboys will call offensive plays by committee for bowl game
So, with Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator post now vacant — plucked for a head coach for the third time in Mike Gundy's eight seasons — who's calling the offensive shots for the Cowboys in the Heart of Dallas Bowl?
How about this: anybody and everybody.
"We're going to get together as a group and just do it as a group," Gundy said Friday, in his first meeting with local media since the Baylor loss to end the regular season. "We may make a decision at the bowl."
Pressed further on who would actually make the final decision on any particular call, Gundy didn't waver: "A group."
Included in that group: Gundy, offensive line coach Joe Wickline, receivers coaches Kasey Dunn and Doug Meacham and running backs coach Jemal Singleton."
Explaining further, Gundy said that this offense, originally brought to OSU by Holgorsen, is so uncomplicated that the actual play call isn't so much dictated by any coach, as it is by situation — down and distance, etc.
In essence, there are a few specific calls — run and pass — that automatically apply to each scenario.
"This offense is easy to call," Gundy said. "You have a script. Really, that's why you can just (use) a small piece of paper and call the plays."
With that, Gundy pulled just that — a small, folded piece of paper — from his pocket, and pointed to the few plays associated with different situations. Holgorsen seemed to use a cocktail napkin, lending proof to the point.
The real work, Gundy went on to say, is what's put in place during the week, more than on Saturdays.
Cowboys quarterback Clint Chelf, whom Gundy confirmed as the starter, said that while the team can feel happy for Monken landing a head coaching gig, it doesn't have to feel sorry for itself.
"Once you learn it, it's really not that hard to move forward," Chelf said. "All of our coaches know it, they do a good job with it. They do a good job coaching.
"Everybody on the field knows what to expect in certain situations. That's just how the offense runs. The transition today was just like a normal practice that we've had all year."

Macy's Reprises "Yes, Virginia The Musical" For Schools Nationwide During The 2014 Holiday Season. (Graphic: Business Wire)
Today, Macy's announces the return of "Yes, Virginia The Musical" for the 2014 holiday season. Now in its third year, the school program is part of Macy's annual holiday "Believe" campaign, inspiring elementary and middle schools nationwide to perform the original production of "Yes, Virginia The Musical" in their local communities. To continue the tradition and support art in schools, Macy's will provide the royalty-free script and score, and also $1,000 grants to 100 eligible schools, on a first-come basis. Now through July 31, interested schools can apply for a $1,000 grant via yesvirginiamusical.com. In addition, to help guide all schools and bring the magic to the stage, a comprehensive digital toolkit will be available at yesvirginiamusical.com, complete with an interactive script, helpful videos and production reference materials.
Since the program launched in 2012, teachers, students and families across the country have embraced the story of "Yes, Virginia The Musical," resulting in heartwarming local productions throughout the holiday season. More than 2,500 schools and organizations have downloaded the free toolkit since the program's inception, and grants have helped schools purchase costumes and set materials, as well as sound and lighting equipment for the performances.
"The magical performances from 'Yes, Virginia The Musical' have been a highlight the last two holiday seasons," said Martine Reardon, Macy's chief marketing officer. "We are inspired by the enthusiastic response from schools across the country and the creative young talent who bring the story of Virginia O'Hanlon to life. This year, we are proud to again offer the program royalty-free and with 100 grants for $1,000 each, to support another season of amazing performances."
The original production was inspired by the true story of eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon who wrote a letter to the "New York Sun" newspaper in 1897 to inquire about the existence of Santa Claus. An editor from The Sun responded with a poignant essay that became one of the most famous newspaper editorials of all time and served as the inspiration for Macy's "Believe" campaign. Through the campaign, which supports Make-A-Wish, Macy's collects letters to Santa at Believe stations in-store, and for each letter Macy's receives, the retailer donates $1, up to $1 million, to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

cervix really thin?!

You just never know how close you are to going into labor no matter what is going on down there........ Until your water breaks or you have active labor contractions it is a waiting game.
Posted 01/09/2013

i'm due the 30th, and i'm so tired of being pregnant even though i only have a couple more weeks left. hoping she comes early. she's head down so that's good. although i haven't been having many contractions, and only once they got really bad. i had a few this morning but not as uncomfortable as before. hopefully soon though because we're ready for her ! :)

At first, this image may seem rather boring. Who's this woman and why is she on the front page of Joystiq? This image is rather uneventful until two facts are revealed: a) she's a CG creation and b) she's being rendered in real time with new AMD technology. AMD's new effort, "Cinema 2.0," promises to bring photorealistic graphics that blend the visual fidelity found only in the most recent of Hollywood movies to the interactive space. AMD is imagining a future where consumers won't just play movies, they'll play in them.
While practical applications of "Cinema 2.0" weren't showcased at AMD's recent event in New York, the company executives were keen on noting how the tech can be implemented. Movie producers will be able to manipulate digital actors that are more realistic than ever -- in a rendering environment that happens in real-time. Gamers will be able to find character models and environments that are truly lifelike.
The demonstration we saw in New York did prove that this technology is very real. A very human model, one that would put the efforts of Square Enix to shame, had all sorts of dynamic lighting applied to it. But how is it that AMD has managed to create such a realistic human character model, while Hollywood still struggles to create true human actors with a gigantic rendering pipeline?
Obviously, new hardware is part of the solution. More processing power has always meant more realistic visuals. However, there's another trick: a globe-shaped room that feature rapid high-definition photography from all angles. These cameras can capture surface detail to a level that surpasses human touch. These cameras operate so quickly that to the naked eye, they appear as solid lights, when in fact they are flashing on and off at fractions of a second. The information captured by these cameras can then be interpreted into 3D data. Here's the same woman we featured as these cameras capture her:
Once the digital actor is captured, directors (and game players) will be able to manipulate them how they see fit. Some truly science fiction applications were mentioned during the presentation, like the ability to recreate Star Trek's Holodeck. We're not holding our breath for that, but this stunning technology does appear to be a revolutionary leap forward in rendering technology.
While AMD will tout that this technology is available "now" for everyone, that is far from the realistic truth. As with all advancements in 3D technology, the availability of new graphics hardware doesn't necessarily mean they'll be utilized by developers. For example, how many games push PC graphics cards to the levels of Crysis ... other than another Crysis?
Developers from Splash Damage, Crytek, Rebellion, Remedy (yes, they're still making Alan Wake) and even Blizzard were highlighted in the presentation as partners of AMD. While it's clear that this impressive technology will be used, the real question is when will gamers see real playable products on store shelves? That may be years off ... and who knows if competitors will be able to produce equally impressive visuals on an even larger scale by then? Until then, enjoy the eye candy.

Pigeons put their personal stamp on sidewalk
Jan. 17, 1956: Pigeons lay waste to a newly poured concrete sidewalk on Bunker Hill.
The original Los Angeles Times caption put it best:
The moment cement workers turned their backs yesterday after laying new sidewalk at 4th St. and Grand Ave., where pigeons are accustomed to feed, the pigeons came back. Here's pictorial proof that a bunch of angry, parading pigeons can really stay wheels of progress.
The sidewalk had to be redone.
This photo by former Los Angeles Times staff photographer John Malmin was published as lead art in the Jan. 18, 1956, edition. The image won first place, features, in the Associated Press annual photo contest among newspapers in California and Nevada.
Adding to the lighthearted nature of the story was this second image of worker Andy Aguilar in mock horror. Unfortunately, only the pdf of the image is available.

My Story: 3 Things You Need to Know about Free Firewood
Wood Heat for Your Home Fire Starters |
(NAPSA) - During cool weather, many families look forward to the warmth and ambience of crackling fires in their home fireplace. But before you light a fire, there are some tips to consider:
Get the Fireplace Ready
Past fires may have left soot deposits inside your chimney, so it is always a good idea to have it swept before use. Also, take a look up the flue. Make sure that it is clear of obstructions and debris. If you notice any cracks in the mortar or crumbling cement, this is a warning sign that the chimney may need repair and you should contact a professional. Another area to check is the fireplace damper. Make sure it works properly and fits snugly so that your fireplace won't allow cold air in or heat out.
Choosing Firewood
Be sure to replenish your wood supply. Well-seasoned firewood is easier to start, produces more heat and burns cleaner, reducing the amount of dangerous buildup. There are a few things you can look for to tell if wood is seasoned or not.
Well-seasoned firewood generally has darkened ends with cracks or splits visible, it is relatively lightweight and makes a clear "clunk" when two pieces are knocked together. "Green" wood has a much higher water content, making it harder to start and less efficient when burning.
Buying Firewood
Firewood can harbor insects, such as the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle, a species that feeds on ash trees and has killed millions of trees across the U.S. Because of insects like these, it's important that you not move firewood, and instead purchase it close to where you plan to use it. Also, make sure that the firewood you purchase is from local resources.
At the end of the season, be sure to burn all the wood that you have ordered, so that any insects or larvae in the wood do not have the chance to spread.
For more information about the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle, visit StopTheBeetle.info. Infestations of the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle are in IL, IN, MD, MI, MO, OH, PA, VA, WI and WV and all other states are at risk.

I know this is weird but does anyone ever wonder why shaving 'down there' is so important for us to do. You see ads for brazilians and bikini hair removal and how poplar it is, even for people our age and its the guys with all the hair and you dont see the ads for them to get rid of their 'down there' hair. Oh well, I guess that is just the way it is. It wont stop me from shaving but its just one of those weird thoughts.
by luckykel on 4/13/2012 3:13:37 PM
Hey Kawaii Panda, your def not the first girl to have that itching sensation. What do you use to shave? Nair? Shaving cream or soap? The problem is most likely the product you're using to shave. It could also be the temperature of the water or the razor. Try switching up your shaving method and see if anything improves. Hope this helps! Xoxo Mod mod mod!!! I don't know how to explain it, but after I shave, it itches and red bumps appear 'down there.' Lynae P.
