Commentary: Assessing Impact of Poverty on Mental Health
Cohen, Ruth, Clinical Psychiatry News
The greatest of evils and the worst of crimes is poverty.
-- George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950
"I don't care" was the response 1 from Gerardo when I asked, "Of the people you know, is there anyone who loves you?"
Gerardo was a 17-year-old high school senior who had grown up in poverty. He was planning to attend Stony Brook University on scholarship. Gerardo had been referred for psychiatric evaluation because he slapped his mother, slammed a refrigerator door against her back, and cursed at her.
He was eager to leave his family, including his Ecuadoran mother, who sold burritos from a street stand; his 19-year-old sister, Lola, who lived primarily with her 21-year-old boyfriend; and his 9-year-old half-sister, the daughter of the man who beat him repeatedly.
His biological father, an alcoholic and drug addict, had left when he was 3; his stepfather, Manuel, subsequently became violent toward him, and his mother at times held him down during beatings.
After Manuel left the home, his mother took another man into the house. Fred, a cook in a Chinese restaurant, helped with rent and kept to his room.
Gerardo blamed his mother. "She was never around" and was out selling food. His mother overlooked Manuel's molestation of Gerardo 's older sister Lola and enabled her son's abuse. Why? It was only when Lola took an overdose that New York City's Administration for Children's Services learned of the distressed family and intervened.
Gerardo talked about his commitment to school as an entree into a good position. Still, he was cynical. In a provocative manner, he called school, "boring." He added, "The other option is to find a minimum wage job." With anger, he said, "I am preparing to live in corporate America." His disdain encompassed personal, academic, and family areas.
Is the diagnosis of Gerardo depression or a nascent personality disorder? Does he have posttraumatic stress disorder? One thing was clear: Gerardo, an intelligent adolescent, was emerging from childhood scarred by his experience.
The toll of poverty
Poverty is common in the United States. Peter Edelman in his book "So Rich, So Poor: Why It's So Hard to End Poverty in America" (New York: The New Press, 2012) details that 46 million Americans live in poverty, defined as earning no more than $23,050 yearly for a family of four. Food stamps and housing assistance programs are helpful, but with cutbacks in welfare, there are 6 million people living solely on food stamps.
Edelman, a professor at Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, says that good-paying jobs have gone overseas; the number of single-parent households is on the rise; and the wealthiest have created disadvantages for the poor, resulting in economic crises such as the housing bubble. At present, children rather than the elderly are more likely in poverty. More than 40% of families headed by single mothers are poor.
We view poverty as an economic dilemma, but its psychological consequences are profound. Do poor people develop mental illness or does mental illness cause a slide into poverty? Much controversy exists on this question, but both probably are true. Poverty has far-reaching consequences and creates vulnerabilities. It negatively affects mental health.
Many of the social ills associated with poverty confound with mental illness. Poverty is depressing.
A 63-year-old Hispanic patient described her struggle. Glenda suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, depression, diabetes, and osteoporosis. From supplemental security income, she receives $716 a month. She receives food stamps amounting to $200 monthly. Were it not for her daughter, a school crossing guard, sharing the apartment, Glenda could not afford the rent of $604 a month. "Even clothes, buying a pair of jeans for $35, would stop me from getting things for the house," she said. "I'm angry; it gets me irritated. …

Great fun
Great game even though I can't figure out how to beat the final boss. Played threw many times with no problems until the final bad guy, very frustrating in a fun way. Drives u to rethink ur whole game play when u realize u need to start it from the beginning. Every one saying there's something wrong with the game because they can't pass something isn't playing very well.
I liked it
It took me a while to figure out exactly how to get enough coins, HP and DP and maintain my health but once I did, this game got me hooked. I liked it a lot and would recommend this to anyone out there who likes a good RPG.
Good port
Great game from the dark ages... A lot of nostalgia here. Even more fun than the original if you ask me

One of the most important things an IT Professional can do in any organization is help protect its employees from cybercriminal activity by raising the level of education and awareness for IT Security. Doing so helps to reduce risks to both employees and the company. While ongoing education is important, it can sometimes be challenging to get the attention of employees. Many of the IT Professionals that I talk with are interested in finding new ways to stimulate these conversations within their organization. One great way to do so is on Safer Internet Day (SID).
Safer Internet Day is a global campaign that promotes a healthy Internet for everyone. This is an important day where the industry collectively takes action to raise awareness about the importance of IT security and safety. To support this effort, Microsoft has launched an interactive website, Safer Online, where we are asking people to "Do 1 Thing" to stay safer online. While on the site, people can learn about online safety tips and trends in computer safety from our Microsoft Computing Safety Index.
The website provides a great opportunity to promote education and awareness on the importance of implementing security fundamentals and I'd encourage you to share it with the employees in your organization.
As we have seen from past Security Intelligence Reports, implementing security fundamentals such as regularly applying security updates for all software installed, running up-to-date antimalware software and using strong passwords can help to protect against the majority of threats seen today. If everyone promises to do just one thing and make it part of their digital routine, it will help to create a safer, more trusted Internet for everyone.

Show Details for the week of April 13th, 2015
On The Monitor this week:
- A Muslim perspective on secularism and governance – an interview with Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im
- The "Militant Wahabism" of al-Shabab, the Nairobi massacre and the genealogy of the tragedy – an interview with Abdi Ismail Samatar
More about this week's guests:
Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im (from Sudan) is the Charles Howard Candler Professor of Law at Emory Law, associated professor in the Emory College of Arts and Sciences, and Senior Fellow of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion of Emory University. An internationally recognized scholar of Islam and human rights and human rights in cross-cultural perspectives, Professor An-Na'im teaches courses in international law, comparative law, human rights, and Islamic law. His research interests include constitutionalism in Islamic and African countries, secularism, and Islam and politics. Professor An-Na'im directed the following research projects which focus on advocacy strategies for reform through internal cultural transformation:
- Women and Land in Africa
- Islamic Family Law
- Fellowship Program in Islam and Human Rights
- The Future of Sharia: Islam and the Secular State
These projects can be accessed through Professor An-Na'im's professional website »
Abdullahi Ahmed An-Naʿim argues that the coercive enforcement of shariʿa by the state betrays the Qurʿan's insistence on voluntary acceptance of Islam. Just as the state should be secure from the misuse of religious authority, shariʿa should be freed from the control of the state. State policies or legislation must be based on civic reasons accessible to citizens of all religions. Showing that throughout the history of Islam, Islam and the state have normally been separate, An-Naʿim maintains that ideas of human rights and citizenship are more consistent with Islamic principles than with claims of a supposedly Islamic state to enforce shariʿa. In fact, he suggests, the very idea of an "Islamic state" is based on European ideas of state and law, and not shariʿa or the Islamic tradition.
Abdi Ismail Samatar (from Somalia) is Professor of Geography at the University of Minnesota, a research fellow at the University of Pretoria, and member of African Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on the relationship between democracy and development in the Third World in general and Africa in particular. He is currently looking at the the link between democratic leadership, public institutions, and development in East and South Africa. Other themes in his research include Islam, social capital and ethnicity in the Horn of Africa, and environment and development.
Quote: "The brutality of al-Shabab is simply staggering. Its latest atrocity is the outright killing of over 100 students at Garissa University [in Kenya]. But what people also need to understand is the insidiousness of the Kenyan government and it's actions in Somalia, which al-Shabab uses as a pretext to rally people in Somalia. If Kenya and the international community are serious about defeating al-Shabaab it can only be done by well resourced professional Somali security forces. The international community has failed to help Somalis build such a force. In addition Kenya and Ethiopia must withdraw their troops from Somalia as well as their efforts to gerrymander politics in that country by supporting certain factions in Somalia. The regime in Mogadishu is hopelessly corrupt and incompetent and can not galvanize the Somali people. The international community, including Africans, have been not only oblivious to the plight of the Somali people, but have turned them into a disposable political football since the collapse of their state in 1991. For years the world watched warlord terrorists rape, loot and kill Somalis with impunity. The U.S. actually backed the warlords against the Union of the Islamic Courts (UIC), which was trying to bring some stability to the country. In 2005, the UIC defeated the warlords and created peace in Mogadishu for the first time in years and without any help from the international community. Rather than engaging with the UIC, the U.S. and its African clients considered them as terrorists and Ethiopia was given the green light to invade and dismantle it. Ethiopian forces took over Mogadishu on December 25, 2006, and the prospect of a peaceful resurrection of Somalia perished. The brutality of the Ethiopian occupation has been documented by human rights groups. Resisting the Ethiopian occupation became the rallying cry for all Somalis. Some of the toughest challengers of the Ethiopian war machine were segments of the UIC militia known as al-Shabab. Their valour endeared them to many Somalis and this marked the birth of al-Shabab as we know it today. Had the international community and particularly the West productively engaged the UIC, I am confident that al-Shabab would have remained an insignificant element of a bigger nationalist movement. Kenya's original rationale for invading Somalia was to protect its citizens and tourist-based economy from al-Shabab's predations. For many this argument seemed reasonable as al-Shabab was accused of kidnapping several expatriates from Kenya. According to a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity, there were credible reports that the Kenyan government had planned on gaining a strong sphere of influence in the lower region of Somalia long before the al-Shabab-affiliated incidents."
Background: Samatar's piece "The Nairobi massacre and the genealogy of the tragedy." The New York Times reported last week: "Kenyan fighter jets bombed two training camps of the Shabab militant group in Somalia, defense officials said on Monday, the first military response to the attack on a university last week that killed nearly 150 students. Kenya's president, Uhuru Kenyatta, had vowed to respond 'in the severest way possible' to the massacre at the university. Military officials said it was difficult to assess the damage because of heavy cloud cover. Kenya has carried out bombing raids in Somalia after terrorist assaults in the past, and the Shabab militants, knowing what was coming, have often abandoned their camps after major attacks."

On The Monitor this week:
- What does ISIS really want and how should people try to analyze the group's extreme positions? We talk with Jennifer Loewenstein about two recent articles dealing with the topic.
- Documents reveal that the U.S. government helped Israel acquire nuclear weapons. What are the political implications? We talk with Grant Smith who obtained the documents.
More about this week's guests:
Jennifer Loewenstein is Faculty associate in Middle East Studies and Associate Director of the Middle East Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Loewenstein has followed news of ISIS closely and joins us to comment on the media narrative surrounding the group. She has also recently written about the topic – Holding Ourselves Hostage to History: Burnt Offering
Quote: "Too few people, I fear, will understand that the monstrous activities of ISIS will continue, if not increase, as long as the former colonial and imperial powers of the West, Japan, and their Arab allies –all of them run by tyrants and dictators beholden to or in league with US state power and seeking "security" — persist in their attempts to shape and control the destiny of the Middle East.
It nevertheless seems likely that however long the infernal activities of ISIS continue, ISIS itself – like so many other extremist and fanatical organizations past and present – will eventually destroy itself from within. Public opinion worldwide, above all in the Middle East, is overwhelmingly opposed to the use of such depraved, barbaric tactics. Everywhere, especially where terror like this reigns day and night, people fear and abhor it. Ultimately, the core leaders of ISIS and groups similar to it, will fall upon their own swords and then be devoured, however savagely, by the populations most directly affected by their brutality.
We start the discussion with an assessment of the arguments in an article published by The Atlantic that has been very widely circulated: What ISIS Really Wants
Grant Smith, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Research Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep). It is a nonprofit organization that "studies US-Middle East policy formulation. Founded in 2002, the Institute became an independent private non-profit tax-exempt organization in 2003. IRmep's Center for Policy & Law Enforcement examines how balanced and vigorous law enforcement can improve trade, economic development and America's international standing. IRmep's Israel Lobby Archive documents and provides citizen access to initiatives of one of the most harmful forces driving policy formulation in the US political process."
Courthouse News reports: "In the midst of controversy over the Israeli prime minister's plans to address Congress next month, a researcher has won the release of a decades-old Defense Department report detailing the U.S. government's extensive help to Israel in that nation's development of a nuclear bomb. "I am struck by the degree of cooperation on specialized war making devices between Israel and the U.S.,' said Roger Mattson, a former member of the Atomic Energy Commission technical staff. The 1987 report, 'Critical Technology Assessment in Israel and NATO Nations,' compares the key Israeli facilities developing nuclear weapons to Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, the principal U.S. laboratories that developed the bomb for the United States.The tightly held report notes that the Israelis are 'developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level.' The release comes after Grant Smith, director of the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy filed a FOIA request last year and followed with a lawsuit in September seeking to compel release of the report. The government fought to delay release of the 386-page report in hearings before Judge Tanya Chutkan in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who expressed skepticism with the government's reasons for refusing to provide a single unclassified document. The report's release this week has substantial political ramifications."

We have one guest this week – Costas Panayotakis and we will be talking with him about the recent election results in Greece.
Costas Panayotakis is professor of sociology at the New York City College of Technology of the City University of New York and author of Remaking Scarcity: From Capitalist Inefficiency to Economic Democracy. He has written extensively on Greece and has appeared on dozens of TV and radio shows around the world
"The result of the Greek election is a resounding rejection of the austerity policies that have had devastating economic and social consequences. Having received over 35 percent of the vote, Syriza, Greece's leading party of the anti-austerity left, is poised to form a government in coalition with a smaller party of the anti-austerity right and to challenge the austerity policies imposed throughout the eurozone. In so doing, the Greek election could prove an important turning point, further fueling the rise of anti-austerity forces of the left in Spain, Ireland and beyond."
See prior article "The Eurozone Fiasco" and Democracy Imperiled: The Greek Political Crisis by Costas Panayotakis.
During this pledge drive, You can still pick up a copy of Worth Fighting For: An Army Ranger's Journey Out of the Military and Across America for a pledge of $120 ($10 per month).
About the book:
Rory Fanning – a TomDispatch regular, walked across the United States for the Pat Tillman Foundation in 2008-2009, following two deployments to Afghanistan with the 2nd Army Ranger Battalion. Fanning became a conscientious objector after his second tour.
Pat Tillman's death by friendly fire was covered up just days before his comrade Rory Fanning—who served in the same unit as Tillman—left the Army Rangers as a conscientious objector. Disquieted by his tours in Afghanistan, Fanning sets out to honor Tillman's legacy by crossing the United States on foot.
Told with page-turning style, humor, and warmth, Worth Fighting For explores the emotional and social consequences of rejecting the mission of one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. It is only through the generous, and colorful people Fanning meets and the history he discovers that he learns to live again.

On The Monitor this week:
- The Secret Lists that Swiped the Senate – an interview with Greg Palast
- The Keystone XL Pipeline and the Race for What's Left – an interview with Michael Klare
More about this week's guests:
Greg Palast has been called the "most important investigative reporter of our time – up there with Woodward and Bernstein" (The Guardian). Palast has broken front-page stories for BBC Television Newsnight, The Guardian, Nation Magazine, Rolling Stone and Harper's Magazine.
Palast is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Billionaires & Ballot Bandits, Armed Madhouse , The Best Democracy Money Can Buy and the highly acclaimed Vultures' Picnic, named Book of the Year 2012 on BBC Newsnight Review.
His books have been translated into two dozen languages.
His brand new film of his documentary reports for BBC Newsnight and Democracy Now! is called Vultures and Vote Rustlers.
Palast is known for complex undercover investigations, spanning five continents, from the Arctic to the Amazon, from Caracas to California, using the skills he learned over two decades as a top investigator of corporate fraud.
From GregPalast.com:
Statistics guru Nate Silver simply can't understand why every single legitimate poll indicated that Democrats should have gotten 4% more votes in the midterm elections than appeared in the final count.
The answer, Nate, is "Crosscheck."
No question, Republicans trounced Democrats in the Midterm elections. But, if not for the boost of this voter-roll purge system used in 23 Republican-controlled states, the GOP could not have taken the US Senate.
It took the Palast investigations team six months to get our hands on the raw files, fighting against every official trick to keep them hidden.
Michael Klare is a writer, teacher, and public speaker who studies issues of war and peace, resource competition, and international affairs. As the Five College Professor of Peace and World Security Studies, based at Hampshire College, he teaches courses on resource politics, contemporary conflict, and world affairs. Klare has written fourteen books and hundreds of essays on these and related topics; a strong believer in the need for public debate and discussion, he also appears regularly in the media and in public to express his views on critical issues. His most recent book is The Race for What's Left: The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources
From Mother Jones: A controversial bill to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline failed in the US Senate Tuesday (11/18) evening. It received 59 "aye" votes, just shy of the 60 needed to send the bill to President Obama's desk. The fight isn't over yet; Republicans have said they plan to prioritize approving the pipeline once they take control of the Senate next year.

- Despite the Democrats shalacking in the midterms the Minimum Wage is Four for Four…in "Red States." We talk to Peter Davis about the issue.
- As Veteran's Day approaches, why do we keep thanking the troops? We discuss the topic with Rory Fanning.
More about this week's guests:
Peter Davis is a campaign activist for Time for a Raise campaign, a project of Ralph Nader's Center for the Study of Responsive Law. He and Ralph Nader just co-wrote a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi which states: "Buried underneath the coverage of the Democrats' second midterm 'shalackin' in a row is a stark public sentiment that provides a path forward for your caucuses during the upcoming lame duck session. Despite the Republican wave, a minimum wage raise passed in every state in which it was on the ballot. These were not coastal blue states: the four 2014 minimum wage ballot initiatives – for Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota — passed in Republican-dominated states which all elected Republican senators alongside the initiative. If your caucuses were to uniformly and exuberantly push for a minimum wage raise in the upcoming Congressional work session, it would transition the national media narrative away from Republican momentum in the never-ending horse race and towards whether the new Congressional leadership will be responsive to the public sentiment and needs of American workers." See the full letter.
In August, Nader wrote the piece "Democrats Are Doomed (Unless They Make the Minimum Wage the #1 November Election Issue)."
Nader's latest book is Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State. Earlier this year, Nader's office hosted a conference on left-right alliance. See video of the conference here.
"Last week, in a quiet indie bookstore on the north side of Chicago, I saw the latest issue of Rolling Stone resting on a chrome-colored plastic table a few feet from a barista brewing a vanilla latte. A cold October rain fell outside. A friend of mine grabbed the issue and began flipping through it. Knowing that I was a veteran, he said, 'Hey, did you see this?' pointing to a news story that seemed more like an ad. It read in part: "This Veterans Day, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Rihanna, Dave Grohl, and Metallica will be among numerous artists who will head to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on November 11th for 'The Concert For Valor,' an all-star event that will pay tribute to armed services.
Concert For Valor? That sounds like something the North Korean government would organize,' I said as I typed Concertforvalor.com into my MacBook Pro looking for more information… As I read, my heart sank, my shoulders slumped. Special guests at the Concert for Valor were to include: Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg. The mission of the concert, according to a press release, was to 'raise awareness' of veterans issues and 'provide a national stage for ensuring that veterans and their families know that their fellow Americans' gratitude is genuine. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Michael Mullen were to serve in an advisory capacity, and Starbucks, HBO, and JP Morgan Chase were to pay for it all. 'We are honored to play a small role to help raise awareness and support for our service men and women,' said HBO chairman Richard Plepler. Will the 'Concert for Valor' mention the trillions of dollars rung up terrorizing Muslim countries for oil , the ratcheting up of the police and surveillance state in this country since 9/11, the hundreds of thousands of lives lost thanks to the wars of George W. Bush and Barack Obama? Is anyone going to dedicate a song to Chelsea Manning , or John Kiriakou , or Edward Snowden — two of them languishing in prison and one in exile — for their service to the American people? Will the Concert for Valor raise anyone's awareness when it comes to the fact that, to this day, veterans lack proper medical attention, particularly for mental health issues, or that there is a veteran suicide every 80 minutes in this country? Let's hope they find time in between drum solos, but myself, I'm not counting on it."

Show Details for the week of April 7th, 2014
On The Monitor this week:
The first interview was supposed to be with Suzanne Massie but there was in issue with the recording of the interview so that will be played on next week's show. Instead we opened the phone lines and took listener calls.
Below are details of the second segment:
- USA Today reports: "The Supreme Court took another step Wednesday toward giving wealthy donors more freedom to influence federal elections. The justices ruled 5-4, in a decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts, that limits on the total amount of money donors can give to all candidates, committees and political parties are unconstitutional. The decision leaves in place the base limits on what can be given to each individual campaign." Citizen United 2.0: The Supreme Court expands the definition of 'money as speech' – an interview with Robert Weissman
Robert Weissman is president of Public Citizen, which notes in a statement: "Today, in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down limits on the aggregate amounts people can donate to candidates, political parties and political committees. Demonstrations that Public Citizen helped organize are scheduled to take place throughout the country in response." For more information, visit: citizen.org/mccutcheon and moneyout-votersin.org.
Quote: "Today's U.S. Supreme Court ruling in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission strikes a devastating blow at the very foundation of our democracy. This is truly a decision establishing plutocrat rights. The Supreme Court today holds that the purported right of a few hundred superrich individuals to spend outrageously large sums on campaign contributions outweighs the national interest in political equality and a government free of corruption. In practical terms, the decision means that one individual can write a single check for $5.9 million to be spent by candidates, political parties and political committees. Even after Citizens United, this case is absolutely stunning. It is sure to go down as one of the worst decisions in the history of American jurisprudence. Until today, nobody could contribute more than $123,000 total in each two-year election cycle to political candidates and parties. Citizens United allowed Big Business to spend literally as much as it wants – predominantly in undisclosed contributions filtered through the likes of Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – distorting our elections. But Citizens United money can go only to outside groups. Now McCutcheon removes meaningful limits on the total amount an individual can directly contribute to candidates, political parties and political committees. … There are literally only a few hundred people who can and will take advantage of this horrendous ruling. But those are exactly the people our elected officials will now be answering to. That is not democracy. It is plutocracy. Today's reckless Supreme Court ruling threatens so many of the things we love about our country. No matter what five Supreme Court justices say, the First Amendment was never intended to provide a giant megaphone for the wealthiest to use to shout down the rest of us. Our only hope of overturning this McCutcheon travesty — along with Citizens United — is if millions of Americans band together in saying 'Enough!' to plutocracy. We couldn't face a starker choice: Accept rule by the few, based on wealth. Or join together to protect and reclaim our democracy – the notion that We, the People decide. Today, people across the nation will be responding with protests to this outrageous decision. We, the People insist that our government and our country remain of, by and for the people – all the people, not just those few who have amassed billions in wealth. A vibrant movement for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and reclaim our democracy has emerged since the 2010 issuance of that fateful decision. The demonstrations today – unprecedented as a same-day response to a Supreme Court decision – are just the latest manifestation of how that movement is now exploding across the country. We refuse to cede control of our country and our government to amoral multinationals and morally comprised plutocrats."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Starlight Children's Foundation - Global Office, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Daniel was born almost 8 weeks early. We waited to see what if any complications were to follow. He suffered many hospitalizations in the first year of life that we didn't even remember we had a real house to go home to. As the next few years went by we spent more time in doctors offices and therapy centers to provide him with the best quality of life as possible. Then we found out that he suffered a tramitic brain injury somewhere in the first year of life. We shifted gears over the next several years to continue our efforts on doing what was best for him but we started to forget about ourselves and what we needed. Our other two kids were always put on the back burner becuase we had to get their brother to a doctors appt or therapy appt. When Daniel was about 7 we were introduced to the Starlight Family. OUr first outing was to the circus. We hadn't been in years. We all had a great time and for the first time in a long time we heard all 3 kids laughing and having a good time. We knew that wihout Starlight we would not have made the time. We also didn't have to worry about how to pay for this as they covered everything so that we could attend. We no longer had to make a choice about to go out as a family or pay for extra medications or therapies. Starlight has always stepped in when we needed it the most. When the stress at home from the day to day struggles get to be so much that you just have to shift gears and enjoy each other. The great escapes and day brightners have proivded our family with opportunities that we could not have done without their support. They have become part of our family that we will never forget about.
Review for Starlight Children's Foundation - Global Office, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Daniel was born at 32 ½ weeks. At first with only a 8 day NICU stay we didn't think much then about what he would be faced with later. When he was in preschool he didn't communicate and was not social with the other kids. At 5 he was diagnosed with a condition called non-verbal learning disorder and at 7 the MRI showed damage to the right hemisphere indicative of a traumatic brain injury. I was working at our local children's when I was first approached by great escapes offering a new service in town. As I learned about it I also told them that I had their first client with my own son and I have been a family member since. Each day my son struggles to do what comes naturally to most of us. He doesn't see himself as different just someone that leans differently and he has always set out to do the best that he can. However, that doesn't come without being discouraged when he can't, for being isolated from his peers who don't understand or when he is pointed to when he acts different. Starlight has become a second family to him as well as all of us. He is free to participate as is without prejudice and he has met other children who share his some struggles. As a family we have met many wonderful families who have been down the same path as we have and only they can understand how sometimes the smallest of steps of access are nothing short that a major triumph in our world. We moved a couple of years ago, and despite leaving friends behind Daniel said is there are starlight group where we were going and I was happy to tell him yes. He was so happy to meet his new family and it was a a familiar atmosphere to him making the move a little easier for him and all of us. The time we spend with our Starlight Family gives us the opportunity to step back and just enjoy each other and see everyone laugh and have a good time. This doesn't replace the daily challenges that Daniel faces or that we all face with him but for a few hours each month, it assures that we all focus on a fun family time atmosphere. We have been very lucky to participate in a host of events from ice skating, to the circus, to major leagues sporting events and a host of other activities. Raising a child with an life long illness is a major financial and emotional undertaking that without Starlight family we could not either afford to do on our own much less carve out the time to go do it. The Smith Family

Mark Stolzenberg, founder and director of the New York Acting School for Film and Television, has witnessed this phenomenon every year: "The best gift is always something the person would love to have, but just never seems to be able to afford. So we have moms and dads of teens or even adult children gifting acting classes. We have husbands, wives, and lovers who know their significant other is aching to try acting as a hobby or career." Here is a video about the New York Acting School for Film and Television: http://www.youtube.com/
Age is no factor. Stolzenberg notes: "There is a huge demand for actors of every age in commercials, television and film. You're never too old or young to get started."
Cost is absolutely not a barrier according to Stolzenberg. "Many people think acting classes are prohibitively expensive. We have a special gift pack during the holidays that provides a basic beginner level class for $99.00 (normally $150.) Or if your budget allows there is a four class package for beginners or advanced students at only $350.00."
Imagine for just a moment the response you'll get to this gift. It is unique, thoughtful, and will provide an experience that will never be forgotten. Giving acting classes in New York City, the world capital of acting schools, for someone who has stars in their eyes will make you a hero.

Dowagiac wrestlers rip Paw PawPublished 11:39pm Wednesday, January 4, 2012
A second win this year by Dowagiac's wrestling team over Paw Paw looked much different.
On Wednesday, the Chieftains rolled past the Redskins, 52-24, to improve to 4-4 on the year. Earlier in the season, Dowagiac edged Paw Paw, 33-30, at the Delton-Kellogg Tournament.
With three matches remaining, the Chieftains wrapped up another win over the Redskins. Aubrey Huston's win by forfeit at 152 pounds gave Dowagiac a 40-18 lead and a Wolverine Conference match triumph.
"Matt (Lyle) won a match that he lost the first time against Paw Paw and that was a six-point swing," said second-year Dowagiac coach Matt Alward. "I believe that (Paw Paw) had couple more voids in their lineup and we had less voids compared to the first time. We had couple of individuals (the first time) that were out of our lineup and, also being early in the season, we had a couple kids not at the weights that they needed to be at. Now, they're down at the weights that they're suppose to be at so the matchups were a little bit different. I think that plays a lot into the difference in the scores."
The most competitive match came at 135 pounds with Lyle rallying past Cody Small, 6-3, to improve to 12-4. Small beat Lyle, 11-6, earlier in the year.
In Wednesday's match, Lyle erased a 2-1 deficit entering the third period. With a 1:40 left, Lyle recorded an escape to tie the match at 2. Lyle took the lead for good at 4-2 after recording a takedown with 1:00 remaining. Lyle's final points came on a takedown with :03 remaining. Lyle wrestled out the final :03 with a plugged bloody nose.
"I just had to score my points and do what I had to do," said Lyle. "I wanted to beat him because he beat me earlier in the year. "I was more prepared to face him this time around."
Lyle's win gave the Chieftains a 31-12 lead. That lead grew to 34-12 after Ryan Barnas beat Jake Ducharme, 10-7. Barnas sealed the match after getting a takedown with :11 left to take a 10-5 lead.
At 171, Dowagiac's Dan Crandall pinned Kolton Stevens in 4:26. Crandall led only 6-5 after three periods. Crandall improved his record to 12-6.
Dowagiac got off to a great start, getting a pin in 1:30 by 215-pounder Carl Grant over Brennan Combs.
What followed for the Chieftains was a forfeit win at 285 from Tristan Howard and a 10-2 win from Spencer Calley at 103 pounds.
Dowagiac increased its lead to 28-6 after getting forfeit wins from 119-pounder Jacob Worthington and 125-pounder Tyler Wessendorf. The Chieftains also got a forfeit win at 160 pounds from Tom Smith.
"I'm really happy team-wise how we wrestled," Alward said. "We're really young and as long as we have the effort we'll be able to work on our skills and continue to get better."
Alward praised his 145-pounder Anthony Daisy, who was pinned by Shane Chapman in 3:23.
"We bumped up Anthony Daisy against their best wrestler to fill out our lineup," Alward said. "He went a period and a half against a kid who probably should pin him. But Anthony is a hard worker who refused to let that happen quickly. I was happy with that match even though it ended up in a losing effort. Lack of experience was the difference."
103: Spencer Calley (D) d. Mike Payne, 10-2
112: Blake Parker (P) won by forfeit
119: Jacob Worthington (D) won by forfeit

Your SelectionClear All
I've had my watch for about 3 months. At first it worked great and for every workout. Now it has trouble finding my heart rate and mid-workout it will drop my heart rate down lower than 100. I don't know who to call or who to contact to get it fixed. It was working great and want to continue to use it if it works. HELP! ... read more
I am a total geek about training devices, programs and data and have had far more than my share of devices after competitive bike racing for several year. I have had the FitSmart for just over 1 year and have used it 5 - 6 times per week every week. Product Quality: Battery life is the same as the day I got, which is more than I can say for my phone. The heart rate monitor is just as accurate as chest strap monitors. Band is very comfortable and durable. Design:Well thought out an complete. The watch communicates with you via colored lights and vibrations to let you know what training zone you are in, if it's the right zone for the workout and gives you 5 seconds notice before a training zone change. You can workout with or without your phone and easily synch the workout afterward. Watch paired w phone allows you to track speed and distance by GPS and stride sensor, heart rate, calories burned, fastest mile and elevation. Micoach Awesomeness: The micoach website and app interface brings it all together. On the site, you can design your own training program, ranging from running races, to sport specific, to general fitness. The programs integrate strength, endurance and flexibility. The programs are periodized to gradually build up your capacity and taper your efforts to prevent overtraining. The running workouts have great variety, from steady state endurance building to intervals to build speed and strength. Adidas teaches you to train the right way! During strength training workouts, the micoach app includes an animated video to show you how to properly perform an exercise right on the screen of your phone. You can track your weight, reps, even the shoes you wore. Their program has it all, if you get geeked out like I do, you can deep dive into the data, or if you want easy guidance and feedback, they make it quick and simple. Seriously, the best overall product out there! ... read more
Have used the Fit Smart for about six months while exercising. Never a problem. Accurate heart monitoring while cycling, spinning, running on a treadmill and working out in other ways. Establish goals based on heart rate and monitor heart response during cooling off. ... read more
I bought this for personal training, really able to assist someone serious about improving their shot. No complaints, excellent ball (just a bit below Brazuca quality), fast charge, instant data. What's not to love. ... read more
The ball itself is great. It is of high quality construction, is easy to charge, and connects easily to the Android app on my phone. The app itself is very good for a product this early in its lifecycle. As an early adopter of the Zepp sensor for baseball, if the Adidas software team is anywhere near as good as the Zepp software team, I anticipate the app will only get better in a few months. It is already giving feedback to my daughter that she has not received in three years of playing travel soccer, and I expect this ball to elevate her game to a point that it would not get to without the feedback it provides. ... read more
Currently the only product on the market that always you to work out how the ball is kicked and the what the results are. This helps in improving one's technique to get the best accurate results. One think though, there is no substitute in skill and dedication. ... read more
Good product, easy set up and easy to use. I'm using it as coaching tool with my u11 travel team. The kids have fun seeing their stats, speed of kick, where they make contact on the ball etc. and allows me to work individually with them to improve their technique. ... read more
Fantastic piece of kit. Easy to use, looks and feels like the typical quality you expect with Adidas products. The information displayed after each kick its great and it also brings an element of fun, so the kids will get something out of it even if an adult is buying it for themselves. If there is a downside, it's that I wish you could get this item in other sizes, as my son is 8 and would get more out of this if it were a size 3-4. Brilliant product though, it will help develop our son throughout his footballing career. ... read more
use only for 3 weeks but all good. the colours when your hr changing is awesome and the hr sensor working excelent - use for sweaty spinning classes and the sensor dont have any problem to rating at all. ... read more
I bought the fit smart because I wanted a wrist heart rate monitor at a reasonable price. I don't need GPS etc because I already have that on my phone. This watch does exactly what I need it to do, monitor my heart rate (accurately) and tell me when I am in/out of zone by buzzing but not too often to become annoying. So far battery life seems good and it is easy to charge. The wrist strap is very comfortable but I'm not sure how durable it is going to be. The small is a good fit and I do have small wrists definitely buy large if you are male. ... read more
I was always keen on the Fit Smart and it has now become compatible with Windows Phone. I received my Fit Smart a couple of days ago and have used it twice now for a run and for a gym session along with wearing it as a standby watch. First of all, the fit is really nice, i went with the black colour which i do notice shows up dust but that's not important. The battery life is as good as they say with a half charge lasting four days with two hours of training. I've only used the training in 'Free' mode and it's been great to see my heart rate in the gym. Previously i've used the micoach app on my phone along with the HR strap around my chest. Wearing just the watch is a lot easier. During the run it was great to see my distance and it vibrated each 1km to give me a split update which was very handy. ... read more
Excellent gadget. At first it was difficult to sync to my iphone 5 s , but they were my mistakes. It's practical , light and handy. It communicates in real time with micoach app and that gives you advantages ... read more
The Adidas MI Coach watch is a great tool for any athlete, physical education teacher or anyone wanting to get fit. Reasonably priced but if you want quality you need to pay for it. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking about a new sports watch investment. ... read more
technology and sport in unison The smart ball can take teaching to the next level, when Adidas roll out the new firmware updates to include moving ball data the smart ball will possibly become the biggest technological advancement in football history, if you think what computers have done for mathematics, computing data to find solutions in a fraction of the time, then the smart ball can compute the footballers data to teach the solution in a fraction of time. As a football coach teaching players how to shoot and pass the ball is a huge part of training and this is done by repetition, but being able to show each player exactly how they have hit the ball and then teach how to adjust to make that shot/pass perfect is such an advancement and advantage. e.g. Taking my goalkeeper, within a session we have perfected his goal kicks, by using the smart ball app to study with him how and where exactly he struck the ball the spin he generated, and the approach using the video data he was able to make adjustments to create his perfect goal kick and then continue to use the data to recreate over and over until continued perfection, before this session his perfect goal kick had been taking years with trail and error, now Completed in one session and the data has been saved, so when he feels he's not kicking just right we can see instantly where he needs to adjust. The smart ball is already amazing but it's capabilities have only just started ... read more
great ball would recommend this. moves well great control. my son loves it. I would recommend this to any budding player it helps with skills as well. its a must buy for any serios training great value too ... read more
Simple to use and works flawlessly. The heart rate monitor works brilliantly and the coloured zones make it easy to keep track of how hard your working at any time during my workouts, and has attracted a lot of attention in the gym and when out running. Using this in free workout mode is simple and straight forward and doesn't require me to carry and mess around with my mobile phone whilst training which is a bonus. Going over the stats after syncing helps me keep track of where I can improve, especially when out running. Not having GPS could be a seen as a hindrance, however if you upload your route and manually input your own 'laps' helps you accurately track you pace per KM to help you improve. Also if your working out on a stationery treadmill, rower or cross trainer in doors it wont log how far you went but this info can be updated and added manually after you've completed your work out Haven't tried any of the countless workouts you can download but the ones I've looked at are in depth and look like they would be very effective. Awesome piece of kit and looks good too would fully recommend ... read more
this ball is seriously the best ball on the market still from mid 2014 to early 2015. This ball has helped me expert my knuckleball and My around the wall and over the wall shot. Thank you Adidas for creating a ball and app that's like a personal coach ... read more
This was purchased as a birthday present for my 14 year old son. It wasn't on his birthday list so was a gamble.....however, it was fantastic, his face was a picture as this is one of the latest in gadgets (unbeknown to me). In his words it was "the best present EVER". It was extremely easy to set up and link to his I-phone. The delivery was very speedy and was packaged well, so no signs that this was a football. I now have a garden full of teenagers or should I say budding world champion footballers!! ... read more
There are so many great features that made my workouts easy and goals very clear. It looks good on the wrist and was very user friendly. Perfect for a person just starting out or a more serious athlete. ... read more
I have been using the FIT Smart for several weeks now and it has exceeded my expectations. After playing with the watch for about 15 minutes I was able to get a good handle on the interface, which is very simple. It has three buttons, a multi-purpose "select/home" button and two scrolling buttons. What I really like about the watch is that it doesn't have excess features that you won't want to use. It has several useful modes (assessment, free workout, planned workout) and that's it. Simple. Syncing with your MiCoach app is done via bluetooth. The watch actually looks pretty good too. I have a black watch and wear it most places. The watch is almost entirely covered in rubber and is easy to keep clean. From the coach perspective, I have used these watches with my athletes to prescribe them workouts during their off days or when rehabbing injuries. You have to create a MiCoach profile for them, but after you do that, it is easy to have them do the assessment workout and then assign them conditioning based on their HR zones. Just an FYI it seems to work better to run the assessment test outside as opposed to on a treadmill. Regardless, you may want to run the assessment several times before using the HR zones. This will allow you to get the most out of the test. ... read more
I am a recreational jogger and the miCoach FIT SMART training watch for my needs perfectly. While I was on the run the watch displayed my heart rate, distance travelled, total time, and was even able to notify me of my 1km split times. I have used a different heart rate monitor in the past to track my training, but it only gave me a partial view of the run and I had to use a separate app to monitor my distance, splits, and to track my progress in my training regimen. When I got home the watch paired seamlessly to the miCoach app clearly showing me all the data collected by the FIT SMART. I was not only able to see the raw data, but the app charted out my pace, stride rate, and heart rate vs. time so I could easily see where improvements could be made. It even was able to extrapolate and find predicted my 5k, 10k, half, and full marathon times. Just makes me look forward to running! ... read more
I found the FitSmart to be a great tool to keep me constantly updated throughout my training sessions. Not having to deal with a chest strap to monitor my heart rate was a great appeal, and for runs, the FitSmart stayed locked in on my heart rate without any problems. I also compared it to my Garmin GPS watch, and the distance reading was identical, so I'm not at all concerned about the lack of GPS function here - no calibration needed either! I also noticed that the FitSmart pretty well nailed my Stride Rate during a run, which was something I wasn't expecting, but was happy to see when I completed my first run. The colored zone indicators are great, even during weight training sessions to keep me working at the right intensities just using the Free workout option. I'm 68" tall, 190lbs, and a medium build, and the Small FitSmart fits me great. The silicone band was slick and comfortable, and the display is pretty cool. I have the White FitSmart, and it draws positive attention at the gym. It pairs well with my Samsung Galaxy S4 - (so happy to have a wearable that syncs w/ Android's OS). The bluetooth Sync is simple, and it's nice that the FitSmart can store a handful of sessions before pairing so I don't have to worry about it until I want to check out the performance graphs. The battery life is pretty great too, I probably charge it once every week or two with moderate training use, and full time use as my go-to watch. The buttons are simple - having only 3 buttons to push reduces my chances of getting too far removed from whatever I'm trying to accomplish w/ the device. All in all - I'd say this is a great addition to my training tools, I love the immediate feedback of HR, but even more, I love the Zone Indicator Color, and the fact I don't have to have my phone on me when I train - I can just sync it all later. Great Product, looking forward to updates to the app's graphs after Free workouts, and the HR sensor accuracy while I'm lifting. ... read more
I love this product. I had the "Zone" when it came out and loved the simplicity of that for training and now they have came out with a better version that easily syncs to my iphone to download all my stats for review later. The changing colors relative to your HR zones is great, as well as the overall ease of use and simplicity. I even got one for my wife and she is so not tech savy at all, and she also likes how simple and easy it is. That says a lot..... If there was one critic is that the large band is really large and I should have got the small as there is no medium I believe. Other than that love the product. Keep up the good work. ... read more
The miCoach FIT SMART was right on with my current needs. I love that when going out for a run it was simple to see exactly where I was and that I was hitting my potential. It was great to get a coached workout that I could sync very simply to the miCoach train & run app following. I did use it to simply track my data during a recreational soccer game which also proved to be very helpful. I got great stats afterwards to help me understand the effort I actually put in and I could compare game to game. This is great for me as I get back into game shape. All in all the features were very simple, the setup was easy, and the band itself was very comfortable both while playing and just going for a run, which made me even more excited to use it. ... read more
I originally bought this ball for myself and within a very short space of time the technique that the ball had helped my with was transferable to any ball I would kick, it made my game play more competent and confident and meant that my processing speed was much quicker on the ball and the accuracy of what I do with it has increased dramatically. I now use the ball with my students (9-16) and the rate with which they improve with the knowledge of how to strike a ball well and the understanding of different ways of manoeuvring the ball for crossing, fading, curling and knuckling is astounding. All of the students I have worked with when asked "what do you do when you kick the ball?" reply "I run up and kick it" and the improvement in their consistency, accuracy and power comes from having a knowledge of kicking process and technique from the ball and app. They love using the ball both for the novelty of using an electric football and because it takes them from playground football to a detailed and successful kicking method. It was easy to find the app underwhelming and trivial at first but once individual aspects of kicking are changed even in the smallest of ways a very visible difference is apparent and my feelings of mild disappointment were gone. The general consensus from all that have used the ball is that it is a work of brilliance. Yes it is expensive but worth investment for both improvement as a footballer and a productive use of MANY hours working on kicking technique. ... read more

|The importance of food and scale in the ecology of tropical seabirds
|Hebshi, Aaron J.
|Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2008.
Birds breeding in areas with large colonies experienced low fledging success and chick growth. This density-dependent pattern, on the scale of the birds' foraging area, supports the argument that reproductive rates are driven by food limitation. Shearwater populations are currently limited by breeding habitat availability due to human development and introduced predators, but as land managers protect more main-island breeding sites, food-limitation and its effects on reproductive rates may play an increasing role in population regulation.
Food availability also appears to influence how Hawaiian seabirds time their breeding. Species with large foraging ranges were found to breed at a more predictable time of year presumably because they are able to buffer against small-scale variation in prey abundance.
Food availability is thought to be an important factor influencing an organism's population dynamics, life-history, and behavior. In this dissertation, I explore the role that food availability plays in the ecology of tropical seabirds breeding in Hawai'i. I explicitly incorporate concepts of scale into the analyses to address processes that occur on various spatial and temporal scales.
The physical and biological processes that make food available to tropical seabirds have been insufficiently described. Using at-sea surveys, I found that skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) are vital to many species of Hawaiian seabirds in that they drive small fish and squid to the ocean's surface where the seabirds can access these prey. In a detailed study of the breeding ecology of one species of Hawaiian seabird, the Wedgetailed Shearwater (Puffinus pacificus), I found that regional low-wind events reduced chick growth rates and increased chick mortality, presumably through an interaction between physiological heat stress, increased energetic demands of foraging, and a dispersion of prey resulting from a breakdown in wind-driven currents and convergences.
This dissertation supports the argument that food availability plays an important role in the ecology of tropical seabirds. It also demonstrates how an exploration into these types of questions can best be addressed with an explicit incorporation of scale, whether it is to understand scaling effects on food predictability, or the spatial scale upon which birds forage and compete for food.

Vegan MoFo 2013: Intro and a PB&J Smoothie!9:57 PM
Welcome to another fabulous year of MoFo, my fellow bloggers and blog enthusiasts! Very much looking forward to another month of vegan photos, recipes, innovative ideas, laughs, and discovery of new blogger buddies. My plan is to post every day, which is ambitious, yet I hope my motivation can be maintained throughout the month. The best part of Mofo, after all, is reading and drooling over others' photos and recipes, and so it will be tempting to not spend all of my blogger time doing that.
This year I decided to follow a theme (imagine that!), specifically based on the daily themes voted upon during the Vegan MoFo panel at Vida Vegan Con 2013:
- Mac & Cheese Mondays - a different, delicious mac recipe every Monday.
- TV Tuesdays - recipes inspired by my favorite TV shows.
- Work It Wednesdays - spotlight on foods I traditionally have disliked or with which I have not experimented much.
- Thankful Thursdays - posts dedicated to expressing gratitude for the important people in my life, including recipes and goodies.
- Freaky Fridays - guest posts from some of my favorite blogger buddies each week!
- Sentimental Saturdays - reflections on my early experiences in veganism, tips for budding or even seasoned vegans, and encouragement for being the best token vegan you can be.
- Sleepy Sundays - featuring quick and easy breakfast foods perfect for following a late morning snooze.
To start us off on this sleepy, holiday weekend Sunday, let me share with you a recipe for my favorite smoothie ever. For serious, I make this almost every other day. One of the best things about smoothies is that, with a little less liquid, you can make yourself a bowl of creamy soft serve. This is how I have been enjoying this Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie lately.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie
1 frozen banana, cut into chunks
3/4 c frozen strawberries (about 5-6 berries)
3-4 frozen cherries
1.5 Tbs of peanut butter or peanut butter powder (I enjoy Just The Good Stuff)
1/2 scoop Sun Warrior Raw Protein Powder, Vanilla flavor (optional)
3/4 c - 1 1/2 c unsweetened almond milk (depending on the consistency you want)

Happy Vegan Mofo!ReplyDelete
Hiya Vegan Noms! I just found your site through Vegan MoFo and I'm lovin' your peanutty purple smoothie! I can't resist PB&J in any form. :)ReplyDelete
Happy Mofo'ing!
I lurve the color of this smoothie! Sounds delicious!ReplyDelete
Yay, I'm going to be blogging every single day too - we can do it!!ReplyDelete
You're right about the best part being reading other blogs (and finding new ones). Three days in and I'm already way behind!ReplyDelete
Your smoothie sounds so delicious. I don't usually "allow" myself pb in smoothies and when I do it's always with banana and chocolate. I think next time it'll be with berries & cherries!

text: Not only does this team have a pretty good shot at going down in history as the worst team in St. Louis Ram history but the city itself could care less about the Rams. My wife, my brother and I flew from Philly to SL to attend the ClanRam Bash this past weekend and what I saw (or didn't see) in SL made me very sad. There was no Ram merchandise in the airport....Cardinals, yes....Missouri, yes....but no Rams. There is a sporting goods store in Union Station and in the front window of the store were Cowboy jerseys. My first trip to St.Louis was during the '99 Superbowl year and I thought that I had died and gone to heaven when I saw the Rams helmets painted in the streets around the dome and the garbage cans that were decorated to look like Rams helmets. You couldn't help but pass other people in the streets wearing their Rams colors and feeling that you were among friends. This past weekend if you saw someone in Rams colors you knew they were visitors. The muggers must be having a field day in SL. If you see someone in a jersey or anything rams you know they are a tourist. I saw a poll on one of the evening news programs and the question was if you had to follow a local sports team who would it be. The Rams finished with 8% which was only higher than Illinois with 5%. Seriously, I think that the Rams could carpet bag it out of team ala Irsay and pretty much no one would notice or care. I can't say that I fault anyone living in SL, afterall we've only had 4 winning seasons in 19 years and the Missouri Tigers would probably be 14 point favorites it's just sad to see what has happened over the years.
