I want a guy that can prove me wrong, are you him?
Not sure what I can write here that will make me different and stand out from all the other ladies here on match.com but Ill let you know I am like the apples you find at the top of a tree...the best apples are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt or rejected. Instead they just get the rotten apples from the ground, which aren't as good, but easy...so the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality we are amazing and just waiting for the right man to come along - the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree...cause I am definately the sweetest apple. So here are some things about me... Im 35, single and never married. I have my own house, and a great career as a registered nurse. Im originally from Long Island NY (yes I still have an accent) and have been in Florida for about 2 years now... I love the weather here, and not sure how I survived 33 cold winters in NY. I love taking road trips, playing softball, the beach and boating. I hate yard work, but since I own a house I am often working on home improvement project. I think I am a good listener, honest, fun, and caring. I am shy at first but once I feel comfortable around you I open up and I think I am super fun to hang out with. There are some things that I am looking for in a guy… I just want the basic guy which definitely seems hard to find. I feel that I am pretty easy going and not demanding but I do have some guidelines or standards that every woman should have. I want a man that can prioritize in life and that makes me feel love and appreciated. I would like to find someone who is established in their careers, enjoys their job, but most importantly enjoys life and everything it has to offer. I would like to find a guy who is looking to get to know me and who has the intentions of developing a healthy relationship if a connection exists. I am not looking to get married tomorrow, what I am looking for is someone that is serious about getting to know me and eventually be in a committed relationship with one another. This is my first time trying match.com.. Ive used other free dating websites and just haven't meet any quality men worth getting to know and I am hoping that you are a guy that will prove me wrong and show me that there are still men out there with family values and morals.

Washington - White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and other senior advisers knew in late April that an impending report was likely to say the IRS had inappropriately targeted conservative groups, President Barack Obama's spokesman disclosed Monday, expanding the circle of top officials who knew of the audit beyond those named earlier.
But McDonough and the other advisers did not tell Obama, leaving him to learn about the politically perilous results of the internal investigation from news reports more than two weeks later, officials said.
The apparent decision to keep the president in the dark underscores the White House's cautious legal approach to controversies and reflects a desire by top advisers to distance Obama from troubles threatening his administration.
Obama spokesman Jay Carney defended keeping the president out of the loop on the Internal Revenue Service audit, saying Obama was comfortable with the fact that "some matters are not appropriate to convey to him, and this is one of them."
"It is absolutely a cardinal rule as we see it that we do not intervene in ongoing investigations," Carney said.
Republicans, however, are accusing the president of being unaware of important happenings in the government he oversees.
"It seems to be the answer of the administration whenever they're caught doing something they shouldn't be doing is, 'I didn't know about it'," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told CBS News. "And it causes me to wonder whether they believe willful ignorance is a defense when it's your job to know."
Obama advisers argue that the outcry from Republicans would be far worse had McDonough or White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler told the president about the IRS audit before it became public, thereby raising questions about White House interference.
Still, the White House's own shifting information about who knew what and when is keeping the focus of the IRS controversy on the West Wing.
When Carney first addressed the matter last week, he said only that Ruemmler had been told around April 22 that an inspector general audit was being concluded at a Cincinnati IRS office that screens applications for organizations' tax-exempt status. He said the audit was described to the counsel's office "very broadly."
But on Monday, Carney said lower-ranking staffers in the White House counsel's office first learned of the report one week earlier, on April 16. When Ruemmler was later alerted, she was told specifically that the audit was likely to conclude that IRS employees improperly scrutinized organizations by looking for words like "tea party" and "patriot." Ruemmler then told McDonough, deputy chief of staff Mark Childress, and other senior advisers, but not Obama.
A new Pew Research Center poll shows 42 percent of Americans think the Obama administration was "involved" in the IRS targeting of conservative groups, while 31 percent say it was a decision made solely by employees at the IRS.
The IRS matter is one of three controversies that have consumed the White House over the past week. In each instance, officials have tried to put distance between the president and questionable actions by people within his administration.
As with the IRS investigation, the White House says Obama learned only from news reporters that the Justice Department had subpoenaed phone records from journalists at The Associated Press as part of a leaks investigation. And faced with new questions about the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, Obama's advisers have pinned responsibility on the CIA for crafting talking points that downplayed the potential of terrorism, despite the fact that the White House was a part of the process.
Former White House officials say a president has little choice but to distance himself from investigations and then endure accusations of being out of touch, or worse.
"It's a tough balance," said Sara Taylor Fagen, who was White House political director for President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007.
"With a scandal, there's no way to win," said Fagen, whom the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenaed and sharply questioned in a probe of dismissed U.S. attorneys. "There may never have been any wrongdoing by anyone in the White House, on any of these issues," she said, "but once the allegations are made, you can't win."
A White House peeking into an ongoing investigations can trigger a political uproar. A well-known case involved President Richard Nixon trying to hinder the FBI's probe of the Watergate break-in.
In a less far-reaching case in 2004, the Bush White House acknowledged that its counsel's office learned of a Justice Department investigation into whether Sandy Berger - the national security adviser under President Bill Clinton - had removed classified documents from the National Archives. Democrats said the White House hoped to use the information to help Bush's re-election campaign.
In the current IRS matter, two congressional committees are stepping up their investigations this week with hearings during which IRS and Treasury officials will be questioned closely about what they knew and when.
Former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman heads to Capitol Hill today, giving lawmakers their first opportunity to question the man who ran the agency when agents were improperly targeting tea party groups. The Senate Finance Committee wants to know why Shulman didn't tell Congress - even after he was briefed in 2012 - that agents had been singling out conservative political groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status.
Also testifying will be Steven Miller, who took over as acting commissioner in November, when Shulman's five-year term expired. Last week, Obama forced Miller to resign.
On Wednesday, Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin will testify before the House oversight committee.
Treasury inspector general J. Russell George says he told Wolin about the subject of the IRS inquiry last summer.
In a related matter, the IRS acknowledged Monday that an official testified to Congress about tax-exempt matters long after her duties supposedly had shifted to health care law. Republicans point to Sarah Hall Ingram's history at IRS as they question the agency's ability to properly oversee aspects of Obama's health care overhaul.
The IRS said in a statement that Ingram "was in a unique position to testify" about tax-exempt policies in May 2012. It said Ingram "still formally held" the title of IRS commissioner of tax exempt and government entities, even though "she was assigned full-time to (health care law) activities since Dec. 2010."

Rare and Historically Important 1861-O Twenty Dollar, AU551861-O $20 AU55 NGC. While a scarce date and mintmark in the Type One series, the main interest in the 1861-O has revolved around the three different governments that produced these coins and speculation about which governing authority produced what pieces. Coins were produced by the United States, the State of Louisiana, and the Confederacy. Without going into too much detail, it is generally agreed that the Union struck 5,000 pieces in January, the State of Louisiana produced 9,750 pieces from January 26 to May 31, and the C.S.A. minted 2,991 double eagles sometime after June 1.
In his second edition of Gold Coins of the New Orleans Mint, Doug Winter presents a couple of possible scenarios for the striking sequence of these interesting coins:
"Many researchers have assumed that the weak date coins are connected to the Confederacy. The weak date coins show no evidence of the obverse die crack as seen on the strong date coins and this suggests that a second obverse die was, in fact, used. The obverse crack is too deep to have been completely removed by die lapping. It is not clear whether the weak or strong date coins were struck first. It is certainly plausible that the weak date coins were made first, the die was repaired, the defective die was removed from service and then the strong date coins were made; first with no defects and then later with the obverse die crack. Another possibility exists as well: the obverse die was repaired and strengthened by someone at the mint. This does not appear likely, as the New Orleans mint probably did not have the date punches it needed to do this available in 1861, and the weak date coins do not show the aforementioned die crack."
This piece has the weak date and, of course, no trace of the die crack in the lower left field that is seen on the strong date coins. It also shows recutting at the bottom of the 8 in the date. It is most likely that this coin was struck under the authority of either the Federal government or the State of Louisiana. A faint but confirmed glimmer of mint luster can still be seen surrounding the devices. Lightly abraded, the surfaces display even, deep orange-gold color. A rare opportunity to acquire this highly sought-after New Orleans double eagle.(Registry values: N4719) (NGC ID# 269J, PCGS# 8934)

STRATFORD -- Voters in the Stratford School District voiced approval Tuesday for a measure that would reduce overcrowding by expanding the middle and high school building.
There were cheers throughout the Stratford VFW Hall as parents and teachers who had pushed for the $3.7 million referendum learned it was passed by 72 percent of voters -- 772 votes to 296 votes.
"I'm proud to belong to a community that cares so much," said Nikki Skroch, a parent with children at the elementary school. "People put aside the economy and focused on what this referendum really was: our kids." ...

Five OTs and 205 points later, No. 25 Notre Dame defeats No. 11 Louisville
Feb 10, 2013, 1:03 AM EDT
Thelonious Monk wrote a tune called "Ugly Beauty".
You'd have to watch a Louisville-Notre Dame game go to five overtimes to understand the concept.
The fact that Notre Dame won this one, 104-101, is absolutely stunning, and therein lies the tale. The very long tale that I'm not going to retell. You had to be there.
In a game like this, you have to ask yourself, what's the takeaway? What did we learn about these two teams?
We learned that Russ Smith is more than just a player, he's an avatar of a very specific, undefinable state of being, like fahrvergnugen or satori. Russdiculous will, forever hereafter, refer to something that is both sublimely wonderful and sublimely terrible. Everyone watching this game felt simultaneously excited and nauseous every time Smith touched the ball in the final seconds of any of the six decisive moments this game had to offer. In the annals of Big East lore, "Russdiculous" will have to go next to "Devendorfing".
We learned that Notre Dame can win without Jack Cooley, who fouled out with nearly seven minutes left in that charming era of yesteryear we like to call "the second half." The Irish also lost forwards Tom Knight and Zach Auguste to foul trouble, and Jerian Grant, who single-handedly sent the game to that quaint, adorable little first overtime, missed nearly a full second game's worth of action after his fifth foul as well.
We learned that Chane Behanan should probably get more touches with the game on the line, and that Luke Hancock actually can be a difference-maker for the Cards. We learned how to spell Biedscheid. Or at least I did.
Overall, the main thing we learned – and it was something we all knew already – is that the imminent end of the Big East is going to haunt us for the rest of our lives. This is the thing that will push us all, one at a time, into the "back in my day…" reveries that our grandparents tortured us with.
And who do we have to thank for that forceful reminder of how much realignment sucks? Two teams that helped drive a stake into the league by agreeing to join the ACC.
Oh, the irony. It's enough to make a guy want to go to bed, already.

- coryfor3 - Feb 10, 2013 at 2:39 AM
I'm not sure what Russ is thinking or doing out there. I'm not a ND or Ville fan. Smith is either not thinking at all or is thinking about something other than how to actually win the game. I've never seen so many inexplicable mistakes that are decision making oriented
- goirishgo - Feb 10, 2013 at 9:26 AM
Not a very well played game but it sure was fun and crazy. A great example of why college sports are great.
- harvupdyke - Feb 10, 2013 at 10:36 AM
So fans have to rush the court after the "upset" of an 11th ranked basketball team?
Rudy fans does this make you cry too? Or is it because there is finally something to celebrate in the new year after that 42-14 beatdown in Miamah?
Maybe you can cry today watching Kelly & his 13hdcp chop his way around Pebble…
Roll dam tide.

Summer 2012 MS Connection
The latest news from the Delaware Chapter of the National MS Society
MSCONNECTION MOVING TOWARD A WORLD FREE OF MS SUMMER 2012 DELAWARE CHAPTER TURNING DELAWARE ORANGE During MS Awareness Week, March 12-18, people all over Delaware and the country came together to make connections and spread the word about MS and the need to find a cure. Multiple sclerosis destroys connections and divides minds from bodies. Therefore, it's only fitting that connections can help in the fight against MS. As more connections are formed, more knowledge is shared, more questions asked, more resources gathered, and more hope is provided to help people with MS move their lives forward. Whether you tied an orange ribbon in the community, hosted a fundraiser, or attended an event, these small actions made connections that will someday soon More information about the new national add up to a big awareness campaign on pg. 2 defeat of MS.

MS activists at the Market Street movement event (right). INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Page 2-3 Awareness Page 4 Chapter News Page 5 Gardening Page 10 DIY Events Delaware Chapter MaKing the ConneCtion This spring, the National MS Society launched a new campaign: MS Kills Connection, Connection Kills MS (example seen below). While this is a fairly in your face style of Kate Cowperthwait communication, when you think about the message President it is accurate. It helps to demonstrate the stark realities of this disease. Physically, the disease kills connection; to the brain, to the body, to the outside world. Conversely, connection kills MS; when we connect together we have more power to push back, to fight MS, and to find the cure. When we make the connection with each other we are stronger, more united. Isolated and alone we retreat against MS, and MS wins. Along with this campaign, a new website was launched to help you make meaningful connections � when, where and how you want. At MSconnection.org, you will have easy access to the best content and resources in the MS community. You will also be able to connect with others living with MS. Who knows? Maybe these connections will help you overcome an emotional or physical struggle, raise money for your team, or even discover a new treatment option. Just like our logo strikes out MS, this campaign signals that we are no longer the quiet organization, standing on the sidelines. We are taking a stand. Delaware Chapter If you would like an MS logo car magnet, email me at email@example.com and I'll send you one. You can tell the world that you too are taking a stand against MS and you too are willing to strike out MS. It would be a beautiful world without this disease, wouldn't it?

"Gardening gives me control over something in a situation where I don't always have control," says Laurie Reiser, diagnosed with MS in 2003. "No matter where you live, or who you are, you can garden." Reiser is a Colorado Master Gardener who teaches adaptive gardening in the western part of the state through the local extension office of Colorado State University. "Adaptive gardening is simply about creating your own space," she emphasizes. "There are lots of reasons to adapt. You can put a garden at your height--on a patio, balcony, railing, steps, cinder blocks, window ledge or tabletop you can roll up to." Reiser points out that people need little more than a patch of ground to get started--and that patch of ground can even be in a container. Nowadays, there are few limits to what can be grown in pots. "Breeders have come up with plants that are compact--and containers need less weeding," Reiser points out. DIRT ON ADAPTIVE GARDENING Get prepared Gardening is a "hot" activity in more ways than one. To beat the sun, do outdoor work early or late in the day. Set up a shady rest area with a stool or folding chair on a deck, or under a tree, umbrella or arbor. Wear a hat, gloves and a cooling vest, or carry a spray bottle filled with cool water. (Call 1-800-344-4867 for information about cooling resources or visit www.msassociation.org/programs/cooling.) Set a timer to remind you when to take a break. Ergonomic gardening tools, such as add-on handles for trowels or extendable hoes, can help make gardening tasks easier. Go to www. abledata.com and search for "garden tools" to get an idea of what's available. Reiser suggests enlisting a buddy, such as a friend or volunteer from a Scout troop or 4-H club, to help with tasks like hauling bags of potting soil. Local community gardens, botanical gardens or garden clubs may also offer communal space and resources. Search online for barrier-free, adaptive or accessible gardening or ask your public library if they have any books on the topic to get an idea of what's possible. And then in a few months, enjoy the fruits--literally--of your labors! TOLL-FREE NUMBER (800) 344-4867 5 MEMORIALS TRIbUTES & MEMORIALS JANUARY 21, 2012 � MARCH 31, 2012 In memory of ...

RESEARCH SURVEy SAyS WALKING ISSUES IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS Seventy percent of people with MS who have difficulty walking see that as the most challenging aspect of managing their disease, according to a recent survey sponsored by the National MS Society and Acorda Therapeutics, maker of Ampyra, a drug intended to improve walking. RESULTS IN FOR POTENTIAL MS THERAPIES � In a two-year Phase III trial, the oral MS therapy bG-12 significantly reduced--by up to 51%-- the average number of annual MS relapses. More than 1,400 people with relapsingremitting MS participated in the study. BG-12 is thought to inhibit the immune cells and molecules that are involved in MS attacks on the brain and spinal cord. This study should help to define further the safety and promise of BG-12 as a potential therapy for relapsing MS. � The experimental intravenous MS therapy alemtuzumab significantly reduced relapse rates and the worsening of disability in a two-year Phase III study that compared alemtuzumab to Rebif. The study, called CAREMS II, involved 840 people with relapsingremitting MS. The FDA has fast-tracked alemtuzumab, which should speed up future review. � A study of 324 patients comparing the MS oral therapy teriflunomide with Rebif found no significant difference in the numbers of participants in each group who experienced events defined as treatment failure. Teriflunomide is thought to prevent damage to the nervous system by immune cells. A previous phase III trial was more successful and three others are ongoing. The FDA is reviewing an application for marketing approval of teriflunomide.

TOLL-FREE NUMBER (800) 344-4867 9 Susan Cohn-Child, diagnosed in 1995, walks with son Zach Respondents to the survey reported that problems with mobility restrict their daily activities and affect their emotional and financial well-being. Some 60% of adults with MS who experience difficulty walking have fallen; for a third of them, a fall resulted in an injury. While 65% of those surveyed reported walking difficulties or trouble with balance, 40% "rarely or never" discussed the issues with their doctor. "Clearly we need to encourage and empower people with MS to discuss walking impairment with their doctor, including newly diagnosed patients who may be experiencing only mild problems with walking or balance difficulties," said Nicholas LaRocca, PhD, vice president for Health Care Delivery and Policy Research at the Society. WAyS TO GIVE DO IT yOURSELF FUNDRAISING GETS bOOST These resources include a comprehensive toolkit that covers everything someone who is organizing a DIY event needs to know: establishing a timeline, budgeting, how to make an event memorable, where to hold it, publicity, finding sponsors and volunteers, tips for the day of the event, FAQs and much, much more. People can find out what lessons others have learned and how to create a committee--a core group that will support the effort and whose talents can be utilized. (For example, a friend who's a graphic designer can design the invitation.) The toolkit also includes flyers, badges and email signature images to download. "The online tools are very intuitive," said Nuwash, so organizers can easily and quickly reach out to friends, family members and co-workers. "The people who like to organize do-it-yourself events are going to do it no matter what," Nuwash noted. "Their commitment, creativity and intense connection to the Society are like no other.

DIY MusicFest event, hosted by John Smith at AquaSol Restaurant in August 2011 A family in Florida who says they like to "eat, drink and throw a good party" hosts a casino night on behalf of the National MS Society. A fellow in Minnesota sponsors an annual fourday event for four-wheeling enthusiasts to ride on trails in the middle of the woods. Other folks have hosted golf tournaments, sailing races, dinner parties, bake sales, hoops for hope basketball and even a strongman competition, a bike ride in high heels and a tabletop decorating contest. A Wall Street�based poker tournament raised over $850,000, but a $200 bake sale is equally appreciated. Diverse as they are, these events are all Do It Yourself (DIY) Fundraising, where people committed to raising awareness and money for the MS movement are limited only by their imagination.

Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 1/14/13
Hockey will be back soon and finally we can start talking about the systems and strategies of this great game we all know and love. One of the most critical – and contested – aspects of the Rangers system in 2012 was their power play. For the sake of brevity, I will just say that last year's mediocre power play was not due to coaching decisions or their umbrella formation (seen above). The problem was a lack of execution based on limited personnel. Penalty killers could key in on one guy and knew the others either wouldn't sense open ice (hockey IQ) or put a quality shot on net. So how can Nash help the Rangers improve? 1) Zone Entries The Rangers were subpar at crossing the blueline with the puck. This was because Richards was the only guy who was comfortable handling rubber through penalty killer traffic. Nash gives them another option, which will help spread coverage. 2) The cycle Cycling the puck is a start. Cycling players is what creates defensive miscues. The purpose of any ...

For over 200 years world statesmen, literary giants and legends of the silver screen have joined the millions in climbing the steps of Blarney Castle and given the old Blarney stone a big old snog...and we think you should give it a go!
The famous Blarney stone is located in Ireland's Blarney Castle (situated just outside of Cork), which was built in 1446 and remains a pretty impressive sight today. The castle was the third to be erected on the site and over the years was home to several Kings, Lords, Earl's and Princesses. The castle itself is pretty amazing and so are the surrounding 60 acres of magnificent parklands which includes one of Ireland's few 'Poison Gardens' where you must enter at your own risk and not touch any of the plants! Ohhhh, how very Harry Potter!
The Blarney stone can be found set into the tower of the castle and is a block of bluestone. Its origin is a topic of much debate with some people saying it was Jacob's Pillow, brought to Ireland by the prophet Jeremiah where it became the oracle throne of Irish kings, and other's believing that it was the deathbed pillow of St Columba on the island of Iona and was moved to mainland Scotland where it served as the 'Stone of Destiny'. Whatever the truth, the legend remains that if you kiss the stone you will gain the gift of eloquence or put more simply, you'll have the gift of the gab.
'There is never a stone that whoever kisses, Oh! He never misses to grow eloquent 'tis he may clamber to a lady's chamber, or become a member of parliament.' - Francis Sylvester Mahony
Millions have kissed the stone including; Winston Churchill, Billy Connolly, Mick Jagger and Grandpa Simpson (remember guys?!) but truth be told, it's not an easy feat. To achieve the kiss you must lean backwards over the side of the building and lower your head almost flat against the tower. Nowadays there are protective crossbars and wrought-iron guide rails to aid you though people used to genuinely put their life at risk to get a peck and would be dangled off the side whilst being held by the ankles.
To find about more about Blarney Castle visit; www.blarneycastle.ie. When in Ireland it's most definitely worth a visit so be sure to get over there and check out the legendary Blarney Stone – one word of advice, don't look down!

Chandrakant Shivram Jadhav was born in 1932 in Dhavalpuri in Parner taluka in Ahmednagar district. He shot to prominence as Vagsamrat (Tamasha King) Chandrakant Dhavalpurikar due to his performances in number of productions by his own company, which he formed with another Tamasha maestro Datta Mahadik Punekar.
Dhavalpurikar had a kidney problem. One of his kidneys had failed. He could not undergo treatment at the best of hospitals in the city.
He was admitted to the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital (YCMH) in Pimpri a month ago.
He died following breathing problem and deterioration in the health.
He began his career as an actor with Late Mahadev Nagarkar Tamasha Phad (Troupe) in 1945 at 13. He later worked with Late Tukaram Khedkar's troupe for some time.

Dealing with the Depths of Depression
Nordenberg, Liora, FDA Consumer
IMAGINE attending a party with these prominent guests: Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Schumann, Ludwig von Beethoven, Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, Vincent van Gogh, and Georgia O'Keefe. Maybe Schumann and Beethoven are at the dinner table intently discussing the crescendos in their most recent scores, while Twain sits on a couch telling Poe about the plot of his latest novel. O'Keefe and Van Gogh may be talking about their art, while Roosevelt and Lincoln discuss political endeavors.
But in fact, these historical figures also had a much more personal common experience: Each of them battled the debilitating illness of depression.
It is common for people to speak of how "depressed" they are. However, the occasional sadness everyone feels due to life's disappointments is very different from the serious illness caused by a brain disorder. Depression profoundly impairs the ability to function in everyday situations by affecting moods, thoughts, behaviors, and physical well-being.
Twenty-seven-year-old Anne (not her real name) has suffered from depression for more than 10 years. "For me it's feelings of worthlessness," she explains. "Feeling like I haven't accomplished the things that I want to or feel I should have and yet I don't have the energy to do them. It's feeling disconnected from people in my life, even friends and family who care about me. It's not wanting to get out of bed some mornings and losing hope that life will ever get better."
Depression strikes about 17 million American adults each year--more than cancer, AIDS, or coronary heart disease--according to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). An estimated 15 percent of chronic depression cases end in suicide. Women are twice as likely as men to be affected.
Many people simply don't know what depression is. "A lot of people still believe that depression is a character flaw. or caused by bad parenting," says Mary Rappaport, a spokeswoman for the National Alliance for the Mentally III. She explains that depression cannot be overcome by willpower, but requires medical attention.
Fortunately, depression is treatable, says Thomas Laughren, M.D., team leader for psychiatric drug products in FDA's division of neuropharmacological drug products.
In the past 13 years, the Food and Drug Administration has approved several new antidepressants, including Wellbutrin (bupropion), Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), Effexor (venlafaxine), Serzone (nefazodone), and Remeron (mirtazapine).
According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), 80 to 90 percent of all cases can be treated effectively. However, two-thirds of the people suffering from depression don't get the help they need, according to NIMH. Many fail to identify their symptoms or attribute them to lack of sleep or a poor diet, the APA says, while others are just too fatigued or ashamed to seek help.
Left untreated, depression can result in years of needless pain for both the depressed person and his or her family. And depression costs the United States an estimated $43 billion a year, due in large part to absenteeism from work lost productivity, and medical costs, according to the National Depressive and Manic Depressive Association.
Three Types
The three main categories of depression are major depression, dysthymia. and bipolar depression (sometimes referred to as manic depression).
Major depression affects 15 percent of Americans at one point during their lives, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Its effects can be so intense that things like eating, sleeping, or just getting out of bed become almost impossible.
Major depression "tends to be a chronic, recurring illness," Laughren explains. Although an individual episode may be treatable, "the majority of people who meet criteria for major depression end up having additional episodes in their lifetime. …

Friends in Journalism,
For practical purposes, when it comes to issues, Ron Paul started the Tea Party a few decades ago. Despite this I am not asking for favortism on his behalf. All I ask is that you fulfill you perhaps most in role in a free society. Don't become part of the story and don't promote who you think is a top tier candidate. Let the people decide who is top tier and who is electable or not. Give them all equal time. If that means showing the courage to break with status quo pressure then please do so, and be true to your profession. Thank you for your consideration.

Syrian School
The Syrian first lady is practically perfect in every way.
The Syrian first lady is practically perfect in every way.
by Rachel Cooke Published
I expect I'm not the first to point out that one of the more horrifying ironies of the adventures of Blair (born-again Catholic) and Bush (born-again, full stop) in Iraq is that Christians have been forced to flee the country in great numbers. In Damascus, there are now some two million Iraqi refugees, most of them having fled sectarian violence.
Two million. It's hard to picture, isn't it? Individual stories, on the other hand, are rather more indelible, and, for this reason, I do hope that Tony Blair caught the first episode of Syrian School (10 February, 9pm, BBC4). It didn't sound promising - I was expecting mostly Ba'athist playground marching - but, in fact, it was wonderful.
In a classroom in Damascus, an Iraqi Christian boy called Yusif explained why the US invasion had been so terrible for him. First of all, there were the bombs and the shootings. His brother had been killed and even now, watching fireworks during the Syrian celebration of the Festival of the Cross, he found loud bangs hard to bear. Second, around the time his family left Baghdad, Yusif, a keen footballer, had been due to play for Dutch talent scouts. In becoming a refugee, he had missed his big chance. "If the Americans hadn't invaded Iraq, this wouldn't have happened," he said. You could see that he was concentrating very hard indeed on this wound, the better to staunch the bleeding elsewhere.
But Yusif was only one of the treasures Syrian Schools dished up. Oh my God, the women! Amal Hassan was the headteacher of a school for girls in a smarter part of the city, and she looked like the star of one of those crazy Egyptian films - all kohl and lipliner, hair as black and as gleaming as a raven's wing. She based the operation of her school on a combination of stirring nationalism ("We fought the world armed with our humanity!" she yelled at bickering teachers in the staffroom), warm sentiment (her girls were her darlings, beautiful within and without) and a curious kind of feminism (it was pretty clear that she would rather her students put their faith in the Estée Lauder counter than in the hijab).
Even more transfixing was Asma al-Assad, Syria's first lady, who conveniently dropped by Amal's school to talk about entrepreneurship. Watch out, Queen Rania of Jordan, is all I can say. Assad is stunning to look at and she gave the girls a great pep talk about skills and the dangers of abandoning your career just because some man has come calling. In fact, in the course of staring at this vision's cashmere sweater and catlike face, I became slightly obsessed. No sooner had the film finished than I was on Wikipedia, looking her up. Unfortunately, I think some naughty Ba'athist had been at her entry, for it was hagiography, alas. Either that, or she actually is a British-born hedge-fund manager turned all-round good and holy person. (She's keen on rural development, archaeology and promoting citizenship; I could find no mention of where she buys her shoes.)
Beside Syrian Schools, Channel 4's Leaving Home at Eight (11 February, 9pm) seemed a bit pathetic. I didn't mind the children's crying. If I'd been dumped in a boarding school aged eight, I would have cried, too (spending the day at school was quite bad enough). It was their mothers' ostentatious sobbing I couldn't stand, as if boarding their children was not a choice.
There was one mother in particular who annoyed me - and I promise that this had nothing to do with her also being the Sloaniest. Sarah was the mother of Lottie, a robust little darling. On a school visit, Sarah hugged Lottie in the manner of a bear going for a wheelie bin. Meanwhile, around her knees went the arms of April, Lottie's friend, whose own mother couldn't come that day. Sarah all but ignored this poignant display of affection, as if the unfamiliar child was a burr that had stuck to her jeans.
I've never been able to understand why you would have a child, only to send it away to school. But perhaps it's obvious. The ruling classes really are as tough as old boots.

"It was late at night, Ryan was back pedaling trying to get out of the way, the next you know, one kid sucker punched him in the head," which sent him falling, explained Sue Diviney. "Another walked up and kicked him in the head. They said it was like punting a football," Sue said. The two thugs fled, leaving Ryan on the ground bleeding from his ears.

ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA9) -- A man and a woman have been found dead in an Ashburn home and investigators believe their deaths are the result of a domestic murder-suicide.
According to a release issued by the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the 43100 block of Rockfield Court shortly before 9 p.m. Monday after someone reported a shooting and made suicidal statements before hanging up on dispatchers. When deputies arrived at the scene they were unable to make contact with anyone inside the home.
As a precaution, deputies treated the scene as a barricade situation, and residents in the area were told to stay inside their homes.
Deputies finally entered the home to find the two residents were dead.
Right now the names of the deceased are not being released pending notification of next of kin. The incident remains under investigation.

It was around the day of January 17, 1937. And from what I could tell, it was the same as any other miserable day of my wretched life. I went about the somewhat normal routine I always undertook. After begging in Times Square, I retreated to the nearest alley and criticized my very being. As far as I could remember, life had been like this since the day I was born. Sleeping on the bare cement and asphalt floor of New York City with my mom and getting by with the ungenerous donations of various strange people. That is, until she died last year. I didn't know what the cause was because, as you might have already guessed, we were to poor to afford any sort of medical attention. So I was forced to bury her limp body just outside the downtown junkyard. There were no guests besides the salt water that flowed from my eyes and the wails that absolutely no one could hear in the close to abandoned place. So there I was…forced to fend for myself at the age of what I believe was fifteen. I couldn't be sure. It's hard to remember and keep track of these things when you have more important things to worry about. For example, trying to obtain a slim amount of food each day so I wouldn't end up dead like my mother or looking for a place to rest for the night.
I looked at my overgrown and dirty fingernails. Coated in fungus and wrapped in a gagging stench. The palms of my hands were equally disgusting. Calices stretched in each direction and cracks filled with blood blanketed their mountains of puss and crust. The soles of my feet were so damaged that their very existence was erased when I walked. Caverns of holes and other imperfections along with fungi provided an unimaginable stench. I had one pair of clothes. Both my shirt and pants were torn beyond recognition. I myself had grown use to the foul stench of my breath, but unfortunately other people weren't as lucky. I stared out into the street and saw another boy that was about my age. Everything about him was absolutely different. His stature, confidence, clothes, hygiene, nutrition, and any other thing that you could imagine. I stared at him in sad envy as I thought of how different my life would be if I were in his shoes. This thought immediately vanished from my head as I saw a streak of black fur scurry past me. It was a rat. I ran after it with the thought of dinner in my mind. It was obviously too fast for me and when I reached the end of the alleyway, it bolted into a small hole. I fell to my knees and stared at the hole in disappointment. This was my destiny. To grow up and die a street urchin. I raised myself and slowly began to turn around.
To my utter and complete surprise, I was met by a lady. It was as if she magically appeared simultaneously with the event of my turning around. She was a fair woman that wore white heels. She had slender beautiful legs. Her white dress stopped just above her knees. She wore bright red lipstick and carried a dead ferret around her neck. There was a bleak and dark aura about her that I couldn't quite put my finger on. One side of my brain felt an everlasting lust for her and sought to ravish the attractive being. The other side was repulsed and wanted nothing to do with her. It was a confusing occurrence. We stared at each other for 30 seconds. 1 minute. 2 minutes. 3 minutes. 4 minutes. 5 minutes. The waiting was agonizing. Then finally, she spoke. "Would you like to be rich?" It was as though a statue spoke. "Would you like a life of immeasurable luxury? Beggar." I willed myself to be a statue as well. The moment felt like a trap. It had to be a trap. The woman's teeth picked up a light that wasn't there in this dead of night. Everything else was in a haze yet her incisors gleamed. It was as if she had an eternal fire? She gave a raspy laugh. "Let's keep this easy." She reached inside her the cloak she was carrying and took out a small purse. As white as new snow on January's day. "Name the amount and it will give you as much as you ask. There's a catch though." I thought to myself how odd the situation was and how familiar it seemed. "You can't talk, scream, or use your voice in any way for six years, six months, and six nights." I thought to myself that this was indeed the devil. "You're right on that one." She replied as if reading my thoughts. "And I bet you're also wondering why I don't take your soul. Well, that's getting a bit boring. I want a bit of competition. Not make it so easy. The gamble is on after you take money from the bag. Your soul is taken when you talk. She put the purse on the ground. I stared at it and pondered whether or not I should partake in such an affair and whether or not it was true. I picked it up and asked for 150 dollars. I reached in and pulled out the exact amount. I looked up to find the lady only to see that she was already gone. I stared at the money in awe as the fact sunk in that I just made a deal with Satan.
To be Continued
Honestly though, I don't know if I should continue this one though. Cause after I finished writing it, I realized a story where the main character can't speak might be a little bland to you guys. Then I thought it would be an opportunity for you guys to get inside his head and figure out what he's really like. Tell me what you think and I'll make a new one if you want.
