Today, in an article for Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Apple CEO Tim Cook makes an announcement: "I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me."
Cook continues, writing:
"The company I am so fortunate to lead has ... taken a strong stand in support of a workplace equality bill before Congress, just as we stood for marriage equality in our home state of California."
While he "doesn't consider himself an activist," Cook has personally lobbied on gay rights issues in his home state of Alabama and at the United Nations.
All of this sounds familiar—haven't we heard this story before?
A southern-born CEO invoking religion regarding his views on homosexuality, lobbying for what he believes in, and using his company to financially and publicly support those views?
Indeed, we have a heard a story like this before.
Before Tim Cook, this perfectly described another CEO and son of the south: Daniel Truett Cathy of Chick-fil-A.
Correction: An earlier version incorrectly referred to S. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A.
The Department of Health and Human Services recently recognized the RISE project (Recognize, Intervene, Support, and Empower) in Los Angeles County for its work to fight "anti-gay and anti-transgender bias" in the child welfare system in the county:

As the debate over gay marriage began heating up, supporters of the idea insisted that it was a matter of basic libertarianism. "Don't like gay marriage? Don't have one," went the bumper-sticker-turned-rallying-cry. Of course, it was never going to be that simple with regard to something as foundational as marriage, and now we are starting to see there are real consequences to being publicly opposed to the practice.
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with William Kristol on the Boston marathon bombing, Benghazi, and Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player.
Because of the prosecution of homosexual acts and imprisonment of Oscar Wilde in 1895, which ended a glittering trajectory through late Victorian English society, most people are unaware that Wilde was actually a family man, indeed initially and enthusiastically so.
President Barack Obama said today in a pre-Super Bowl interview that Boy Scouts should lift its ban on gays:
The president was asked: "Next week, the board of the Boy Scouts of America is going to vote on whether to end their national ban on gays in scouting. Should scouting be open to gays?
"Yes," Obama replied.
"Why so?"
A pro-lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender group issued a statement today urging President Barack Obama not to nominate Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense.
In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has told Chick-fil-A that the fast-food company is not welcome in his town because "Chick-fil-A's values are not Chicago values." In other words, because Chick-fil-A ownership believes in traditional marriage, it shouldn't bother opening up shop in Chicago.
Google yesterday reportedly launched a worldwide gay rights campaign, officially beginning in Poland and Singapore.
Victor Fiorillo reports for Phillymag.com:
So Batman is gay. Well, maybe.
The comic book world freaked out today because Dan DiDio, the head of DC Comics, now says that in June his company is going to turn one of the publisher's big, legacy characters gay.
When President Obama came out last week in favor of redefining marriage, he couched his opinion in the context of federalism, saying, "I think it is a mistake to — try to make what has traditionally been a state issue into a national issue." During that same interview, however, he declared that a bipartisan law designed to protect states from judges who redefine marriage in other states, is "unconstitutional." It's very hard to square these two statements.
President Obama made what's being heralded as a big announcement on same sex marriage. "I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," Obama told ABC News in an interview broadcast this morning. Obama's the first sitting president to come out in favor of same sex marriage.
Vice President Joe Biden is at least part of the reason President Barack Obama came out in favor of same sex marriage yesterday, the president admitted in the interview on the issue with ABC's Robin Roberts:
This morning on ABC, President Obama said that he thinks same sex marriage should be allowed. "I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married," the president said.
But he also reaffirmed his belief that same sex marriage is a states' rights issue, and that it's therefore OK for states to ban the practice:

Does Mr. Self think that his continued use of the "f" word is attractive or a sign of his literary capabilities? I find it rather offensive.

Does Mr. Self think that his continued use of the "f" word is attractive or a sign of his literary capabilities? I find it rather offensive.
"writing in the simple past exhorts on me a terrible sense of tedium"
Does this make sense in British English (or London English [or "English", if you prefer])?
Should "exhorts" be "exerts"? I'm not sure it makes great sense either way, but "exhorts on" sounds very odd to me.
Ballard eh?
And The Economist obviously liked him so much that they didn't even bother to post an obituary?
"Where does the enormous vocabulary in your work come from? -- Mainly from the thesaurus that never leaves my side; has anyone ever actually believed these words lived in my head before I used them?"
The disease here may be fictional but based on the 'sleepy sickness' /l-DOPA story, which is dramatic enough; because amelioration was temporary. Truth more interesting than fiction maybe.
It is true palliative results are at best temporary, and exacerbation of suffering (to afflicted person and affected caregiver alike) recurs in the course of many illnesses. Illnesses affecting the brain are all the more difficult because in a good number of them the very organ capable of observing, reporting and chronicling the course of the illness is either partially or wholly disabled.
I too have wondered whether truth is more interesting than fiction. I have come to the conclusion it depends who is looking. Clearly, Mr.Self, in writing this Umbrella work, thinks it is.
I have also come to observe one recurring theme in many actual lives lived - a "leitmotif" of the larger collective human life, if you will - and that is that "truth" sometimes, perhaps even often, is stranger than fiction.

Ok. What we need to do first is to make a small hole in the bottom of the egg with the small pin. After making the hole, insert the syringe and subtract the egg joke and egg whites. Clean the syringe, and now it is time to stuff the egg for our prank with paint or whatever fits thru the syringe. Ok after stuffing your egg with paint it is time to close the small hole you made. You can do this by putting glue in the small hole and let it dry, then applying some more glue until the hole is not visible.
Now put your prank egg with the rest of the eggs and wait for your victim to come. Speed up the process and ask egg for breakfast.
Breakfast time!

There are two great privileges that God has given to man. The first is salvation, which is the privilege to enter into an intimate and eternal relationship with God, to be unified with Him in love. The second greatest privilege is to serve God with good works, which He performs through us as we allow Him to do so. Both of these privileges are a result of God's grace.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10)
If you are a believer in Christ deep inside of you is a voice calling you to glorify God through good works. It is the same voice that called you to salvation, the Holy Spirit of God.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Sustainability News
Over the last two months RecycleMania has been taking place at Aquinas as well as on college campuses across the country. During this year's 14th annual national tournament, 461 schools participated in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. That represents more than 5.3 million students and over 1.2 million faculty and staff!
Schools competed in 11 categories to see which institution can:
The top category, Grand Champion, combines trash and each of the core recyclable materials to determine a school's recycling rate as a percentage of its overall waste generation.
The results for this year are in:
Great job Aquinas faculty, staff and students! We applaud your effort in working to recycle, compost and use the special collections on campus. Continue to be selective about your waste stream and help us reach our goal of Zero Waste by 2014. To view AQ's performance in other RecycleMania categories, visit recyclemaniacs.org.
A collection bin will be in place at Aquinas' graduation ceremony, but you can also drop off your gown anytime to the Center for Sustainability (AB 255). Learn more here.
There is a new location for the community garden! It is now located east of the AMC. The goal is to have two, 4x8 ft raised beds managed in square foot gardening style. A Square Foot Garden does not use any fertilizer or have any weeds because one type of plant is grown within a square foot, and the soil mixture used does not contain weed seed. Also the raised beds allow people who have difficulties tending a regular garden, an opportunity to garden easier.
Gardens are a great use of land area. They filter rainwater, restore oxygen to the air, and provide a place to put your compost. Community gardens provide an opportunity to meet new people and build relationships in a relaxed environment, because gardening is a form of stress relief!
We are looking for committed garden volunteers, who are able to spend one day a week (Monday – Friday) to help water and weed the garden throughout the summer. Ideally, we will have two volunteers scheduled for each week day (i.e. 2 every Monday, 2 every Tuesday, etc…). You can complete your garden work anytime during the day, and it should not take more than 30 minutes to an hour. If you have any interest in being a "serious" garden volunteer and committing to at least 30 minutes each week, please send a confirmation email to Jessica Eimer at email@example.com indicating: How many hours per week you plan to volunteer, as well as possible days and times of the week that you are able to work in the garden.
Important Volunteer Notes: 1. Volunteers must gain approval from their supervisors, if they are volunteering during their shifts. 2.

Very instructive analysis as always!
You are right that lower rated players (myself included) often do not look deep enough into the possible lines, and as a result mis-evaluate the upcoming positions.
In the mainline blue variation starting with 14.Nxe6, after 17...b6 white has 18.Bg5, when he threatens Bxf6, the e4 pawn is restricting blacks knights, I think white is clearly better.
Instead of 27 d5, couldn't you play simply Re4 to win the Knight ?
@AngeloPardi if 27.Re4 then why not 27 ...Nf2?
@Nate In the blue line variation starting with 14.Nxe6, my problem with the whole line suggest by an engine is that it lacks the trumps, at the end of 17..b6, that the line chosen gives White in the actual game. The central mobile pawn majority and the greater space is, to me at least, a lot more significant trumps.

Great seeing you both again Wednesday evening while walking the dogs. As requested here is a review of our visit to Bisbee on Thursday: it's Shanga-la in the desert! As AARP nailed it–a quirky, and very picturesque small valley village in the mountains (5500+ feet elevation). Streets are winding and narrow with all kinds of interesting shops. People–both resident and visitor that met, were fun to talk to. The main museum has a gem exhibition to die for. We loved the place.

Photographer documents real-life superheroes in portrait series
Superhero comics are typically about good versus evil, and a growing number of people are taking those lessons to heart — and to the streets — as honest-to-goodness superheroes. Los Angeles photographer Dean Bradshaw has captured some of them in a new series titled "Real Life Superheroes."
This photo set features heroes like Nevada's We The People (above) and 18 others, many of whom are based in California. Eighteen of these are new creations dreamed up by the hero, with only one — Chicago's Moon Knight — taking his name and design from an existing character. Here's a selection of some of the portraits, but visit Bradshaw's site to see all of them.

Wow. Some of these are legitimately badass.
One or two of those look like straight-up villains. Gargoyles Face is pretty, though.
Pretty cool, rather.
I guess dreams do come true!
Look! Up in the sky! It's Needstogetlaidmore Man!
Where's Phoniex Jones and the rest of the Raincity Superheros?
Those were all awesome, except the women. No mask, no cool costume, nothing but a glare at the camera man.
I'm a super hero
lets be honest if you saw any of these cats walking down the street you'd be intimidated. and Needstogetlaidmore Man is the most dangerous of them all.
You know, I recall a time when people being even moderately civic minded didn't require elaborate cosplay.
They certainly look like the real superheroes. A couple rather look like hybrids of humans and robots.

A few marines were shuffling about on one of the many platforms on the worldship, getting into formation. Above them, however, were twelve dots, growing larger at a multiplying rate.
Soon, they were tangible. most of them landed with grace, except for one that resembled a miniature battleship more than a humanoid. He smashed into the ship, leaving a large dent and causing a quake that shook the foundation beneath the feet of the marines. Their morale was already starting to break. It didn't help that their weapons started to pulse with psionic energy. (Keep in mind, this whole thing is in space.)
Edited by Avikon on 9/2/2012 10:49 PM PDT
"Sir, we have sightings of enemy troops on the worldship. Our forces are engaging them now." I curse under my breath.
"Maintain watch for the fleet. I'm going down to meet our infiltrators." Heading to a medivac with my honor guard, we descend to our forward base, and disembark, heading to the sounds of combat. |
As the Medivac reached the battlefield and unloaded it's payload, a marine recognized his superiors and was running toward them, assuming he'd be safe with them.
He never reached them. A hulking steel figure swung an over-sized hammer and tore the marine in half. Behind the metal behemoth were several others that towered over the lesser marines, who were fighting a frivolous battle against the god-like figures. A deep, throaty voice with a heavy Russian accent spoke over your radio. "Maybe you vill provide bigger challenge than zeh others, eh?" With that, the hammer wielding titan took long strides toward the honor guard and escorted. As they raised their rifles, he picked up his pace, and with a single leap he covered the distance between to two parties. His flying charge was lead with his hammer, and it meet the ground before he did. A light blue shockwave discharged from the might hammer, knocking the elite marines off of their feet and onto the alien ship. He swung his hammer in a full arc over his head, then rested it over his shoulder. With his free hand he pointed at the marine closest to him, who backed away on all fours in response. "You vill be zeh first to die." Before the marine backed up any further, he threw his hammer down onto the hapless soldier, making him one with the exterior of the ship. Once again, he rested the hammer over his soldier, then looked around at the rest of the honor guard, who were scrambling to their to regain their footing. "Who vill be next?"

With intense speed, the metal monstrosity ducked down and slammed his shoulder into you, sending you reeling back. Some of your marines moved to engage, but were no where near a match for the colossal person, and were dispatched with ease.
Meanwhile, the Archangels were whittling down the Terran forces on the platform. |
The lights flickered off and they turned back on red, a alarm was going off. At that exact time two miliia opened the door and shot the unarmed Soldiers. They hit the ground with a thud, the blood pooling. "Sorry were late sir."
I pick myself up. "None taken, what are you guys doing?" They smiled. "Were taking over, the UED soldiers started the mutiny first." |
Both Avikon, both. *Evil laugh*
As your men approach the bridge you hear sounds of gun fire and clashing steel.
When you round the final corner, a marine flies past you... half a marine that is. The Principality's silver armor was disguised by a cloak of blood, his scepter was cracked in half and he was fighting marines hand-to-hand. He dealt with most of them relatively easy, but then a marauder-looking exosuit approached him, carrying a rather frightening gun. his external speakers flared to life with a throaty, and slightly psychotic voice. "Hold still while I blow you apart, please" The cannon flashed blue, and discharge a similar colored bolt. The angelic figure attempted to dodge, but would require instantaneous speed to avoid the death bolt. It slammed straight into his chest and sent him through a neosteel wall. (Can't think of a name for it) turned it's attention to the group. "Look's like I get to have a little fun." OOC: you can take control of it, i gotta brb |
IC: I slide back, winded by the suddenness of the blow. "Unexpected, but not unavoidable." I lung forward again, but another armored figure appears, this one holding what looked like a scepter. OOC: I don't want all my forces killed, just enough that you can get through.
Edited by Zarkun on 9/3/2012 3:40 PM PDT
The blue bolt came charging out and before I could even say a word, one of the men were already on the floor. "You, get out of here. It's to dangerous."
The militia ran out the door and the cannon was charging again, that was when I threw a piece of metal at it's head. "To bad I don't have a suit of weapon on me." The suit quit charging the cannon and looked at me. "That wasn't very nice, I thought we were only playing?" |
I sifted through the memories of this weak Terran, finding nothing of import to me.
"Tell me what you are hiding....." "I'm only getting closer..." I can sense the mental barriers are decreasing drastically in number, and know I will soon have my information. |
I cringe as it destroys most of my mental barriers and sifts through my memories, making its way towards the closey guarded secret. A few minutes pass until the mental tug of war finally ends with the monster shredding the last of my mental barriers and gaining full acess to my mind. I let out a cry of despair knowing my doom is near.
OOC: Goin to bed know srry Nikola
The scepter-wielder engaged the squadron of marines with the beast of steel fired his jetpack (Sergei has no wings) and gained about 100 meters before he cam to a halt. Then he pointed his hammer down, a blue glow emanated from the many coursing veins in the weapon, and he descended with great speed, aimed directly at your position. |

Henrik Sedin caps comeback as Canucks rally past Sharks to take series opener
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Clinging to a one-goal lead with less than a minute to play, the Canucks got caught on an icing without a center to take a crucial faceoff in their own zone.
The Sharks had already pulled goalie Antti Niemi for an extra attacker as Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault, unable to change his personnel, called a timeout to rest his players.
That's when captain Henrik Sedin, a center, made a unique suggestion.
Cross Checks: Third-Line Carries Canucks
ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun checks in with some quick West series thoughts from Sunday's Sharks-Canucks game, including examining the instant impact from Vancouver's fantastic third-line unit. Blog
"Hank turned over to me and looked at me on the bench and said, 'Let me switch sweaters with [identical twin brother] Danny [a winger],'" Vigneault said. "I got a big grin out of that."
It was easy for the Canucks and their top-line twins to smile Sunday night.
Criticized for their playoff struggles, Henrik helped set up Kevin Bieksa's tying goal 7:02 into the third period, and scored the winner on a power play 1:19 later as the Vancouver came back to open their first Western Conference final in 17 years with a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
Not that the Sedins, who won the last two NHL scoring titles, were worried about criticism after just two goals, seven points and a minus-10 rating in the conference semifinals against Nashville.
"We rarely read the newspapers or watch hockey coverage on TV," Henrik said. "We know when we are not playing well. We don't have to hear that from everyone else."
They will only hear praise after Game 1 of their first conference finals.
San Jose took a 2-1 lead into the third period thanks to Patrick Marleau's goal on its only power play, and a gift goal for Joe Thornton off the stick of Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo. But after failing to finish several great chances late in the second, Vancouver converted in the third.
Alex Burrows skated onto Henrik's chip pass and behind Dan Boyle on a left wing rush before feeding a pass across and back to a pinching Bieksa for a shot past Niemi's blocker.

Dany Heatley took an elbowing penalty 32 seconds later, and the Canucks' power play, which looked terrible its first three chances after leading the NHL in the regular season, also woke up. A point pass from former Sharks defenseman Christian Ehrhoff got Niemi moving right, and Sedin, whose only other goal in these playoffs was into an empty net, skated onto it the other way, waiting for Niemi to slide past before tucking a backhand shot into the empty net.
"The twins get going like that they are almost unstoppable," Bieksa said. "They're generating every shift it seemed, getting lots of chances and they could have had three or four tonight."
Game 2 is Wednesday night in Vancouver.
It was the third time in for games the Sharks had failed to hold on to a third period lead. The one time they did was during an emotional, draining Game 7 victory over Detroit on Thursday night to advance to a second straight conference final. But just as they did while blowing late leads in Games 5 and 6 -- and a 3-0 series lead -- against the Red Wings, the Sharks didn't have an answer when Vancouver poured it on in the third period.
"I thought our team looked tired. I thought our team looked sluggish," coach Todd McLellan said. "There's nights when we lose our legs, but our minds are still pretty sharp, and I didn't think that was the case tonight. It started between the ears and it worked all the way through the body. We were like dogs chasing cars on the freeway. We just weren't catching anybody."
Maxim Lapierre scored his first of these playoffs, and Roberto Luongo made 27 saves -- and the giveaway with 1:13 left in the first -- for the Canucks.
"I don't like to make excuses but a few minutes earlier [Ben] Eager slashed my stick so it was kind of broken and I went to make the pass and didn't get all of it," Luongo said. "It looked pretty bad."
Niemi stopped 35 shots for the Sharks, but also passed the puck away shortly before Lapierre tied it 1:49 into the second period. Still, San Jose led after scoring on its only power play 7 minutes later, with Marleau left alone in the slot to deflect Boyle's point shot over Luongo's glove.
For a while it looked as if it would stand up as Marleau's second straight winner. Niemi made a handful of highlight reel stops late in the second period, robbing Ryan Kesler during a wild scramble and Hansen in alone. The Canucks just kept coming in the third period, though.
"That was the momentum changer, the frantic flurry with about three minutes left in the second," McLellan said. "We wanted to get into the locker room and recover, but we didn't have it."
Game notes
San Jose D Jason Demers was a surprise late scratch because of an unidentified injury, and was replaced by Kent Huskins ... Vancouver LW Mikael Samuelsson, who plays the point on the first power play unit, hasn't skated since getting hurt in Game 5 of the conference semifinals.

For more than half a century, Thomas Szasz has devoted much of his career to a radical critique of psychiatry. His latest work, Psychiatry: The Science of Lies, is a culmination of his life's work: to portray the integral role of deception in the history and practice of psychiatry.
Szasz argues that the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness stands in the same relationship to the diagnosis and treatment of bodily illness that the forgery of a painting does to the original masterpiece. Art historians and the legal system seek to distinguish forgeries from originals. Those concerned with medicine, on the other hand - physicians, patients, politicians, health-insurance providers, and legal professionals - take the opposite stance when faced with the challenge of distinguishing everyday problems in living from bodily diseases, systematically authenticating non-diseases as diseases. The boundary between disease and non-disease - genuine and imitation, truth and falsehood - thus becomes arbitrary and uncertain.
There is neither glory nor profit in correctly demarcating what counts as medical illness and medical healing from what does not. Individuals and families wishing to protect themselves from medically and politically authenticated charlatanry are left to their own intellectual and moral resources to make critical decisions about human dilemmas miscategorized as "mental diseases" and about medicalized responses misidentified as "psychiatric treatments."
Delivering his sophisticated analysis in lucid prose and with a sharp wit, Szasz continues to engage and challenge readers of all backgrounds.
Thomas Szasz is professor emeritus of psychiatry at the State University of New York's Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York.
©2008 Thomas Szasz (P)2010 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"[Thomas Szasz] is the preeminent critic of psychiatry in the world." (Richard Vatz, Ph.D., Professor of Rhetoric and Communication, Towson University)
"Over four hours of rant, with lack of rationale"
This audiobook caught my attention since I thought it might provide insights into problems with modern psychiatry. In fact, the narration was pretty good, giving it a serious and somewhat determined read.
Unfortunately, I expected too much. The first three or so hours were mostly spent ranting about Sigmund Freud and select other figures from around Freud's time, where most of the attack was on the character of the people rather than the actual psychological paradigms they devised. No doubt, certain old psychological philosophies were fraught with questionable explanations and diagnostic procedures, but few modern psychologists rely on such tactics today. Basing its primary arguments against such paradigms as Psychoanalysis and such persons as Franz Mesmer, the mesmeriser, this book is clearly attacking some of the weakest, most outdated beliefs in the entire field.
The author's most repeated argument, or statement, is that "there is no such thing as mental illness". He basically dismisses psychology and psychiatry as falsehoods that study a "mind" that "does not exist". His arguments against the existence of mental disorders are weaker than even the most speculative psychoanalytic theories, making him quite a hypocrite. His primary premise is effectively "If there is no apparent lesion or other abnormality visible in the brain under a microscope, then no illness is present". His reasoning here is like saying "the pages of words in book x look very much like the pages of words in book y, and since book x has no logical fallacies, book y must also be free from any such problems". Being that his original thesis and books were written in the 50s and 60s, I guess it is no surprise that he is ignorant about many of the functional abnormalities of the brain that are now easier to recognise using fMRI and newer techniques, and about the enlarged cerebral ventricles of persons with advanced schizophrenia. Psychology and cognitive neuroscience are continually advancing, but the author seems to be stuck in the easier-to-refute past and fixated on characters rather than concepts.
The next biggest argument of his can be summed-up as follows: "Since people are capable of imitation and since a number of practitioners have witnessed patients lying about having mental illness, all claims of mental illness, whether from patient or from practitioner, are completely fabricated". Moreover, no grounds are provided to support this inductive assertion.
I should let you know, I do believe that a fair share of psychiatrists are illegitimate practitioners who make hasty, shadily-supported diagnoses with catch-all labels, and I do believe that psych-drugs are often prescribed or pushed when other options are more appropriate; but the author's extreme position that mental disorders do not exist, and that anyone claiming they do is a liar, is exceedingly callous. Feel free to buy this audiobook if you want an outdated rant, entrenched with shallow, poorly-supported arguments.
"psychiatry spoiled by incompetent narrator"
The content is a well known sumamry of Szasz's ideas and concepts. Mental illness as metaphor and the damage done to libertarian ideals by the controll of the psyhciatric elite. The new religion of the state.
His history of the development of mad doctoring.
No - very disappointing. Trying to fit Szasz's own voice in would make more sense. His phrasing lends far more credibility to his ideas. Weiner talks too fast and with almost no sense of the power of the story he is telling - very disappointed.

"Psychiatry Science Fiction"
This work is a hard critique to Freud from the beginning of his writings until his death, as well an analysis of Charcot's life and work. The so-called pseudopatient study by Rosenham is described here with a profound analysis on the subject. The author exposes the lies of psychiatry starting from an anlysis of hysteria -malingering which Szasz called impersonation of the sick role by a healthy person- the imitation of a real disease by the so-called patient - and neurosis. The author considers the professionals in the mental health field as impostors. This audiobook shows the truth of psychiatry and the falsehood of this " science of lies and frauds ". I recommend to you hear this audiobook, it worths one audible credit, if you really want to know about psychiatry, this book is a must.
Tom Weiner Narrates very well. This review has been adapted from: Psychiatry, Science Fiction, March 18, 2011, currently available at Amazon.com
"A good summary of Szasz's criticism of psychiatry"
In "Psychiatry: The Science of Lies", Thomas Szasz argues that psychiatry is not about mental illness: it is about lies. Mental illnesses are in general not specified in terms of structural or chemical changes in the human body. Rather they are specified in terms of behaviour. So there are no objective tests for mental illness before or after a person dies. They are literally just labels for behaviour that people dislike. The point of such a label is to deny the moral agency of the person diagnosed with that label. Sometimes a mental patient seeks out this status to get drugs they want or to avoid prison after committing a crime. Sometimes somebody else seeks to impose the label on the mental patient because the mental patient's behaviour is deemed inconvenient. So psychiatry is about people lying to one another, and to themselves. The book is well written and is narrated well by Tom Weiner.

Our adventures started even before we boarded the train. We got on Amtrak bus that took us to the train. On the highway leading to Bay Bridge a woman started to yell out to the driver: luggage is falling out! He stopped in the left lane, another bus pulled next to us blocking the next lane, the driver got out, walked back on the highway to pick up all lost suitcases. This time he closed the luggage door properly. Everybody stayed calm, just sat there waiting for the driver to come back, and we all greeted him with the round of applause.
This time we stayed at Eldorado, the closest to Amtrak station after Harrah's. Surprise, surprise, there is a coffeemaker in the room – usually casinos don't have them. I would like to have a softer bed, and there was no mirror in the room – so I couldn't apply makeup while my husband was in the shower… but everything else was there: flat screen TV, 3 pillows on each bed, a large bathroom counter with enough space for everything. Different places to eat from a coffee counter to steakhouse. Buffet got long line at times.
We did a whole lot of nothing! It was very hot, I am not used to it, didn't feel like going anywhere. Spent most of the time by the pool, my poor husband is peeling his arms off In the casino we only play penny slots 5 lines at a time, so we probably broke even, we didn't really care.
The highlight of our trip, in addition to the excitement of the lost luggage, was the get-together with Fodorite Friends. Everybody was there, even Kal eventually found his way to the buffet I don't think the 3 hour lunch beat the record. We had a lot to talk about. It was nice to see everyone, and the next year's GTG will be in South Tahoe!
No photos from me, as I broke my camera right before the trip. A piece of plastic broke off so I can't close the batteries compartment. Cannot even put a Band-Aid on it as this will cover some buttons needed for taking photos. By the next GTG I will have a camera for sure (yes, it's a threat and a warning!
The road to Reno is paved with… lost luggage!

Dayenu as always you are very funny. I have had lost luggage 8 times on planes but my luggage never fell out of the plane, it was misdirected and later recovered. These things can only happen to you my friend.

We can start planning - when can you come?
We can do it on weekends, sort of Friday-Monday long weekend, maybe not the very last w/end of the month nor the very 1st - month-end in accounting.
Any time from May through... maybe October should be good.
And thank you for making me feel special -

This was posted earlier and it's the truth. People in the utica region have "utica face". It's hard to describe but I guess in one word it's despair. Lol
United States |
Aug 14, 2013
Don't forget the Utica Face's well known sibling- The CNY "Physique"!
By 30 almso9t all upstate natives look something like a potato with toothpick legs and Cheet-O arms! |
Aug 14, 2013
Lol.:) |
Aug 14, 2013
"Utica Face" is that expressionless, blank face look that people from Utica have. It is a look of sadness and misery exhibited by people who are trying to mentally convince themselves that they are happy.
Aug 15, 2013
Pretty much. Lol |
Aug 16, 2013
Put this on Urban Dictionary. This needs to be official.
Aug 16, 2013
Great idea! We just need to settle on the precise definition. I would say it is the long, forelone look of despair and misery exhibited by the natives of Utica. |
Aug 16, 2013
Utica Face is that look of disappointment that comes with having one's hopes and dreams wiped away with each passing day. Utica Face is that expression the person with the Master's degree has when they have to go to Labor Ready for work. Utica Face is that look of disgust one has when one learns about the ongoings in Common Council meetings. Utica Face is that look of desperation because the Social Service office was closed for a couple days. Utica Face is that look of frustration that nobody has done anything to make things better in the last 3 decades. Utica Face is that look of wonder at why we are wasting money rebuilding an arterial that is essentially a road to nowhere...
Aug 16, 2013
Lol! |
Aug 16, 2013
You are so correct. I also have noticed this odd look on the faces of Uticans. It is more obvious to those of us who don't live in Utica, than it is to the people who are there everyday. Oh, and what is going on with the Arterial? It seems like there is way too much money being wasted to do essentially nothing to it. So they knocked down all the crumbling houses next to it, and now they are supposed to build some sort of pedestrian bridge over it. I'm sure that bridge will see lots of use. Would it not have made some real sense to just elevate it and get rid of all the ridiculous red lights? |
"...got on your timid grin" Since: Aug 13 128 |
Aug 16, 2013
As much as I love the area, the Utica face is something that is real and saddens me. Those empty eyes with a facial expression of hopelessness.
Aug 18, 2013
I have a difficult time understanding why so many people who live in the Utica area seem so miserable, while at the same time are so proud they live there. It seems odd that they dislike this place so much while at the same time are trying to talk themselves into believing that it is really not as awful as it is.
"...got on your timid grin" Since: Aug 13 128 |
Aug 18, 2013
It's not so easy to just pack up and leave, especially as one gets older. I think a lot might also lack marketable skills that can lead to a better paying job somewhere else. This breeds despair and a self preservation response is to convince oneself that it really is not that bad. In fact CNY really is not that bad, they are far worse places to live. |
Aug 18, 2013
I certainly do agree. It might not be that bad, and there are worse places than CNY. But keep in mind that there are many, many better places as well. I like to think of it as a scale from 1 to 10. I would rate Utica at a 5. Not that bad. Not the worst. But nowhere near the best. I would much rather spend my life and my time living in an area that gets at least an 8 or better. |
Aug 19, 2013
Okay, these are two different people: 1: The self-deceivers: They are miserable, can't get ahead in life (no job, deep debt, unhealthy parents, underwater mortgage, a bachelor's degree that's not accredited from SUNYIT, etc), can't find a date that's sane and healthy (if they're a guy looking for a girl) or employed and non-abusive (if they're a girl looking for a guy). Yet because they're stuck here, they think that a "positive attitude will make things better!" and pretend that they "love" CNY. When outsiders ask them "what the hell do you do around here? It's kind of boring here..." they respond: "Riggies. Pizza. Greens. Snowmobiles." Any complaints about Utica will be dismissed with a: "It's like this everywhere, so shut up!" even though there is a good chance that they've never left NY state to see what it's like everywhere else. 2: Stuck and disgruntled: Similar situation as above, but can't get the nickels together to rent the damn Ryder truck to get out... And they're constantly pushing their resume on Dice and Monster, but nobody wants to hire them because their work experience from Utica is weak or outdated. They jump from job to job trying to build up saving to move away, but companies keep closing faster than anyone can build up the savings to move. Every year they see their circle of friends shrink as they move to Boston, Philly, DC, etc. Obviously the latter folks are the only ones you can trust in the area.(The former will try to sell you a 8 year old Civic for $12k, and make you buy a $12k house in Utica at $30k and convince you that it's "really" worth $45k with a potential for $90k if you renovate it... but never tell you that the Historical Society will be breathing down your neck...) Truthfully as an outsider that has lived here for over a decade, I'd rate the Utica area a 4 sliding into a 2, if zero was Detroit, MI and 10 was some place more economically vibrant, like Austin, TX or Raleigh, NC. |
Aug 19, 2013
The backward quality of Utica is obvious to anyone who does not live there. From the unprofessionalism of their local news (WKTV), the deteriorating condition of the entire area, unmaintained streets and parks, and the overall low quality of life, Utica is an example of what happens to a city when nobody cares and nobody in charge has a clue. You can always spot a Utican who is visiting in Syracuse by the way they act and by the characteristic "Utica Face" that has become their trademark. I would rate Utica as a "4". Not totally bad, but still far off from where it should be.
Aug 19, 2013
"Utica Face" is the blank look of despair and emptiness. Its the kind of look you get when you are thinking to yourself that you are powerless to have any effect on the future, and that you have just given up. It is when you are trying to convince yourself that its really not that bad, when it really is that bad.
Aug 19, 2013
So true! I can spot them from 100s of feet away! Lol |
Aug 20, 2013
It's the look of realization that no matter which Italian you vote for, they're only going to spend your taxes on hiring their family, not paving the roads.
Aug 20, 2013
Utica face? Lol

The October collpase ended what had been an astounding bull market here. This was the year that the Tokyo stock market's capitalization exceeded New York's - at the end of October, the New York Stock Exchange was capitalized at $2.254 trillion, while Tokyo was worth $2.677 trillion, according to Morgan Stanley.
Despite a dramatic drop in the Nikkei average of 225 leading stocks, however, the Tokyo market as a whole has not lost as much ground as other major stock exchanges.
Stock prices rose steadily from the beginning of the year, when the Nikkei average opened at 18,820.55 yen. The market reached its peak of 26,643.43 yen on Oct. 14.
The most dramatic increases in stock prices occurred in sectors that investors believed would benefit from a stronger yen, lower oil prices and soaring land prices.
Fumio Mizuno, deputy manager of the stock department at Nomura Securities, said that top performers included road construction companies like the Nippon Hodo Company.
By far the most spectacular stock, however, was the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, the former Government monopoly. Last February, the first time the company's stock was offered to the public, shares sold for the staggering price of 1.19 million yen each, then equivalent to $7,758.
This November, after the market collapse, a second group of shares went on sale to the public. Undeterred by the plunge, investors paid 2.55 million yen (about $19,000 at the time) for one share - a price/earnings ratio of close to 270.
Such remarkably high ratios throughout the year fueled a spate of predictions that Tokyo was in for a big fall. In fact, the analysts were confounded. The market dropped to a post-crash low of 21,036.76 yen on Nov. 11. However, that is still significantly better than the 1987 nadir of 18,544.05 yen, set on Jan. 13. In other words, Tokyo stood its ground far better than other major stock markets during the year.
The exchange ended trading for the year at 21,564 yen, a gain of 14.6 percent for the year.

Non-toxic fire retardants developed
Fire retardants are often extremely harmful to health. Despite this, they are found in many types of synthetic materials which would otherwise ignite quickly. Researchers have now succeeded in producing non-harmful flame retardants.
New underwater robots mimic designs found in nature
In recent years, robotic underwater vehicles have become more common in a variety of industrial and civil sectors. Now, a new class of underwater robot has emerged that mimics designs found in nature. These "biomimetic" vehicles promise to lead to new underwater technologies that could help the oil and gas industry, underwater humanitarian demining, environmental monitoring, search and rescue operations, anti-terrorist activities, harbor surveillance, coastal security and fisheries management, and more.
Young engineers compete in underwater robotics race
Student-built autonomous underwater vehicles will speed through the depths of a Navy pool in a battle for supremacy at the 16th International RoboSub Competition. The competition is being held this week (22-28 July). In addition to building autonomous underwater vehicles, teams are also responsible for creating Web sites and writing journal papers that outline their work.
Houston, Texas boasts world's best lightning detection system
With thousands of strikes each year, Houston is the lightning center of Texas and one of the world's most lightning-prone areas. Studies show about 1,800 thunderstorms pound the Earth at any given moment, resulting in about fifty lightning strikes every second. The country's best system to detect lightning strikes — located in and around the Houston area — just got better, thanks to a complete overhaul and new software.
Advancements in technology making it easier to fight wildfires
Following the Arizona wildfire disaster, many have been suggesting that new regulations are needed to control the spread of wildfires. Experts say that advancements in technology may well offer a more effective approach to saving lives and making it easier for firefighters to control wild blazes.
Firefighting experts calling for easing environmental restrictions on prescribed burns
In the aftermath of the Arizona wildfire which killed nineteen firefighters in Yarnell, Arizona, there are growing calls for easing environmental restrictions which currently limit brush clearing and prescribed burns. It typically costs $5 per acre to conduct a prescribed burn in the wilderness, and about $50 per acre near residential areas. Thinning an area with chain saws and other equipment can cost around $500 per acre. These figures are small when compared to the $1,200 per acre cost of fighting the wildfire in Arizona.
Obama says Arizona wildfire deaths open up broader questions
President Barack Obama said on Monday that several states need to reassess their wildfire management policies in the aftermath of the death of the nineteen firefighters who died battling an Arizona blaze.
Remote-controlled cockroaches to help in search-and-rescue missions
Researchers are using video game technology to remotely control cockroaches on autopilot, with a computer steering the cockroach through a controlled environment. The researchers are using the technology to track how roaches respond to the remote control, with the goal of developing ways that roaches on autopilot can be used to map dynamic environments — such as collapsed buildings.
Robots to assist humans in mitigating, recovering from future natural and man-made disasters
The goal of DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) is spur development of advanced robots that can assist humans in mitigating and recovering from future natural and man-made disasters. Seven teams will receive DARPA support to compete with an ATLAS Robot in 2013.
New firefighter breathing equipment test goes into effect 1 September
As of 1 September 2013, standard firefighter breathing equipment cannot be certified to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards unless the facepiece lenses pass a new rigorous test developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Responding to international WMD incidents
Experts taking part in a workshop discussed ways to improve the U.S. government's assistance in responding to a chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear incident that might occur elsewhere in the world. In addition to preventing and alleviating human suffering, reducing the impacts of these incidents through better response could decrease the attractiveness to terrorists of causing such incidents.
Sandia hosts annual Robot Rodeo
Sandia National Laboratories is hosting the seventh annual Western National Robot Rodeo and Capability Exercise, a lively and challenging five-day event that draws civilian and military bomb squad teams from across the country to see who can most effectively defuse dangerous situations with the help of robots.
Social media analytics help emergency responders
If you think keeping up with what is happening via Twitter, Facebook, and other social media is like drinking from a fire hose, multiply that by seven billion — and you will have a sense of what researchers who are working on SALSA (SociAL Sensor Analytics) are facing. Efforts of emergency responders and public health advocates could be boosted by SALSA.
Flames change the sound of a firefighters' personal safety alarm
The PASS, short for Personal Alert Safety System, has been used by firefighters for thirty years to help track members of their team who might be injured and need assistance to escape a fire. Though the alarm has saved many lives, there are cases in which the device is working correctly but is not heard or not recognized.
Firefighters, FAA weighing the use of drones for wildfires
With the wildfire season already claiming land and homes in the Western United States, federal government firefighters are considering the use of drones outfitted with cameras to map out the size and speed of a wildfire.

Arizona Coyotes
Don Maloney: 'We can win a championship with Mike Smith'
It's no secret the Phoenix Coyotes' fate this season is tied to the play of goaltender Mike Smith, just as it has since he signed with the franchise in 2010.
But after carrying the 'Yotes to the 2012 Western Conference Final, Smith's play took a downturn last season and the team's playoff hopes dropped with each goal given up.
Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney blamed the lockout-shortened camp and season for Smith's struggles.
"In Mike's case, he had a little injury coming in to camp, there was no time to rest and every game is life or death. He had, in our expectations, an average season.
"It's a totally different story now," Maloney told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf on Wednesday.
Maloney said Smith has what it takes to become a top 10 goaltender in the NHL and the team plans on riding his coattails for a while.
"We think we can win a championship with Mike Smith," he said.
And that championship -- or at least an expectation of success -- is something the Coyotes are trying to instill in both its organization and the Valley ahead of Thursday's season opener against the New York Rangers. With the support of new owners, Maloney said both he and head coach Dave Tippett are "so motivated" to show the desert can support a hockey team.
"There's lots of very positive things going on with us."
While some are concerned the Coyotes may lose a bit of hunger given a sense of stability for the first time since 2009, Maloney said the franchise has something else in mind
"We've got an opportunity now to show people this is a top-flight franchise and that's the job of management, coaching, players and trainers."

Scientists are investigating how people see agency-intent-teleology-when none is there: thus arises another scientfic argument along with the atelic -without purpose- argument that people see intent and design when only teleonomy- no planned outcomes and patterns exist. Therefore, Lamberth's two arguments keel haul teleology. Furthermore, all teleological arguments- fine-tuning, probability, to design and from reason- the self-refutation of naturalism- beg the question of planned outcomes.
And, thus He has no referents as the atelic alone and the other naturalist arguments affirm, He cannot exist, and as He has incoherent,contradictory attributes, He cannot exist!
One whammy after another against Him!

Edit: I did the changes many times to cfm this is happening to mine. Changing the edited build.prop back to 480 does not solve this. Only way is to use back the original build.prop.
I am sure nothing else is edited so it's quite strange this is happening.
