One of the many misconceptions about therapy is that only "crazy" people go to therapy, when in fact, many people who go to therapy are struggling with normal life issues such as relationships, health concerns or managing stress. Sometimes these life issues get in the way of having a good quality of life and a competent psychologist can be extremely helpful in helping clients manage issues more effectively and regain control of their lives.
Of course there are many people who seek therapy (or in some cases are mandated to go by a judge) who are dealing with more serious concerns such as eating disorders, substance abuse, PTSD and depression. Most psychologists are trained to address these more serious concerns as well as normal life issues by providing education, cultivating awareness and offering a different perspective, among other interventions. Many psychologists are also trained in mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and diaphragmatic breathing that can be taught to clients to help them deal with stress and anxiety.
If you or a loved one are having any of these concerns or other mental health concerns, seeking out a competent, compassionate psychologist can be really beneficial. Psychologists have a doctorate in Psychology and typically are licensed by the state, although in some settings psychologists do not need to be licensed. They have extensive training in understanding behavior and the human mind and know how to apply psychological principles to help improve people's mental health.
Keep in mind that a psychologist provides evaluation and psychotherapy as treatment and a psychiatrist provides medication as treatment. Often these two types of professionals will work together with a patient when medication is warranted but many people in therapy do not need or want psychotropic medications and can find relief through talk therapy interventions.
To find a psychologist near you, you can search a variety of websites including google to see who is located in your area that treats your specific concerns.

Kathie Lee Gifford Asks Martin Short About His Marriage — 2 Years After Wife's Death
This is really, really painful to watch.
Martin Short appeared on the Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb hour of the "Today Show" on Wednesday to promote Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, and conversation turned to his children and their jobs.
At that point, Gifford said, "And you and Nancy have one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business. How many years now for you guys?"
Unfortunately, Short's beloved wife Nancy Dolman actually died of ovarian cancer back in August 2010.
The actor managed to answer gracefully and without embarrassing Gifford — even after she obliviously followed up with another comment about how "in love" Short and Dolman still are.
Following a commercial break, Gifford acknowledged her mistake and apologized.
See video of the uncomfortable exchange below.

STANFORD, Calif. - Luke Puskedra had a :21 personal best in the men's 10,000 meters in his 2012 outdoor debut Sunday night at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational.
The senior from Ogden, Utah, ran 28:13.91, which moved him to No. 4 all-time on the Oregon career list, behind only Galen Rupp, Bill McChesney, Jr., and Alberto Salazar.
Puskedra was 23rd overall and fourth among collegians. His time was the sixth-fastest in the NCAA in 2012.
In that men's 10,000, Canadian Cam Levens, who runs at Southern Utah, won in 27:27.96, with OTC's Sam Chelenga second in 27:29.82. Chris Derrick of Stanford was third in 27:31.38 and broke Rupp's 2007 American collegiate record of 27:33.48.
Also Sunday, Jordan Hasay finished 16th overall and was second among collegians in the women's 5,000 meters.
Hasay ran 15:44.87 in a fast race that saw five women hit the Olympic "A" Standard. Oregon Track Club Elite went 1-2 with Sally Kipyego winning in 14:43.11 and Julia Lucas impressing in 15:08.52.
Hasay, a junior from Arroyo Grande, Calif., ran the 13th-fastest 5K in the NCAA this season in what was her 2012 outdoor debut at 5,000 meters.

It's amazing how strongly what you did last time governs what you do this time. In fact it's impossible to separate today's choices from yesterday's actions. And even more amazing is your brain's power to blind yourself from your self-governing. You stealthily create assumptions, and without your knowledge erect walls of invisible constraints. Invisible, yes, but self-limiting none-the-less.
Your brain does this naturally, but the ready-fire-aim, everything's late, drag racing culture increases the pace your brain builds walls and turns up the cloaking power to eleven.
What you need to do is take a step back, give yourself some time, and breathe. And this medicinal pause cannot be done at home on personal time – it must be done on the job during the regular day and on company time. And it cannot be done in meetings, not at lunch, and not during your work day commute.
But this is not enough. You need active digging to uncover buried assumptions and deep rooted constraints. And you have to know what they look like as your shovel scrapes, scratches, and clanks through the dirt. Here are a few:
Your new product must do everything the last one did, and more; it must serve the same broad market and establish new ones; and it must replace three legacy products and work flawlessly on all continents.
Crushing constraints and skinning assumptions demands new language. Instead of more, think less; instead of broad, think narrow; and instead of what it will do, think what it won't do.
You don't have to dig deeply to find your fundamental constraints and assumptions. In fact they are hiding in plain sight. Like miles per gallon and cost per pound, think about what you spend your day improving – think about what you've always improved. Think about what makes your product successful. Think about what's front-and-center in your marketing literature. Your self-made constraints have become intimately attached to the things that made you successful. And like old keys on your key chain, they're awkward, they get in the way, and they don't start your car, but you carry them with you without questioning why.
Next week, take a half day and ask yourself – What's possible if you give ground on the very thing that's made you great? What's possible if you serve only a narrow (but juicy) slice of the market? What's possible if your new product does less but does more for the developing market?
I don't know the answer to those questions, but I know one thing – if you don't try, nothing is possible.
Wait! Before you go.

May 1 is the 63rd Annual National Day of Prayer. This is a day of prayer, designated by Congress, signed into law by the President of the United States, recognized by all 50 Governors and observed by millions of people. The reason is clear. It is etched on buildings, monuments and memorials, defined in law and recited by students every day. Atheists and others might not like it, but this great nation is still a "Nation under God," a God who is active in the affairs of men and their governing authorities, according to Proverbs 8:15, Proverbs 21:1, and Daniel 4:25.
There are interesting facts about the National Day of Prayer. Records indicate there have been 1,259 state and federal calls for national prayer since 1775 and counting. There have been 142 national calls to prayer, humiliation, fasting and thanksgiving by the President of the United States (1789-2013). There have been 65 Presidential Proclamations for a National Day of Prayer (1952-2013). Gerald R. Ford (1976), George H. Bush (1989-91) and Barack H. Obama (2012) are the only U.S. Presidents to sign multiple National Day of Prayer Proclamations in the same year. Every President since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation.
Thirty-four of the 44 U.S. Presidents have signed proclamations for National Prayer. Three of the Presidents who did not sign a proclamation died while serving in office. Two Presidents, not included in the count, William Howard Taft and Warren Gamaliel Harding, signed proclamations for Thanksgiving and Prayer.
The theme for the 2014 National Day of Prayer is "One Voice, United in Prayer" based on Romans 15:6, which reads: "So that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Anne Graham Lotz is the campaign's 2014 honorary chairwoman.
There are many National Day of Prayer events and activities all around the nation. Get involved in some of them in your area. On this National Day of Prayer, many Americans will assemble in prayer in front of courthouses, churches, in other places of worship, such as mosques, synagogues, and temples. Luncheons, picnics, and music performances centered around praying for the nation are also popular observances.

Neko Case has built a solo catalog over the past dozen or so years that would easily allow her to tour for years and thrill the fans of her crystal-clear voice, way with lyrical twists and winning stage persona.
It's to her credit that she doesn't just settle into that comfortable greatest-hits mode, though, preferring to infuse her shows with a heavy dose of new music--even just a scant few days since her most recent album--the mouthful named The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You--hit the streets.
That was the case Monday night, when Case and her merry band of regulars closed down the Red Butte Garden summer concert series with a breezy blast of new songs dotted with some long-time faves. Her shock of red locks puffed through the wind into a "Zeppelin '77" hairdo, as case put it, the singer led her troops through a winning 18 or so songs on a night when fall was clearly in the air, the elements competing with one of the best voices in American music.
Case wins in that decision. Despite the winde and mentioning an illness, you couldn't hear anything wrong with Case or her regular vocal counterpart, Kelly Hogan, as they launched into the show with the brilliant "This Tornado Loves You" and the new "Bracing for Sunday" before Case paused for one of her classic between-song one-liners: "This weather is a menopausal woman's dream! Thank you , Utah!"
Case strapped on an acoustic guitar for "Deep Red Bells," and moved easily into the soaring "That Teenage Feeling," a song that serves as a showcase for both Case and Hogan's vocal dexterity. "People Gotta Lotta Nerve" followed, an energetic take on one of Case's best songs, and "Ragtime" and "Maybe Sparrow" were both excellent as well.
Case regular guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Jon Rauhouse was joined by Crooked Fingers/Archers of Loaf leader Eric Bachmann on guitar and keyboards to help flesh out the new songs, which are more sonically diverse than any of Case's previous efforts. Together, they sounded great pushing the band through songs in the latter half of the show, from "Calling Cards" to "Hold On, Hold On," the raucous new "Man" to encore songs like "Nearly Midnight, Honolulu" and "Local Girl."
Closing the show with "I Wish I Was the Moon," Case once again showed that not only is she an excellent songwriter and live performer--she's one of those musicians who warrants lifelong attention. Hearing her explore new themes both musical and lyrical has always been worth the effort, and there's no reason to think that will change in the next 10 or 20 years, given where's she's taken her fans in the past.

Calculating Pages
By Tim Dexter-Oracle on Feb 25, 2008
There is a good and apparently simple question on the forum today from mysterious user613190 - dont be a number, be a free person to mangle a phrase. It was actually posted yesterday but a man has to rest a little.
In my output I am getting page numbers like
1 of 3 (when output has 3 pages)
2 of 3
3 of 3
But if output has only one page then I need to show like below
Could you help me in this?
Its a simple question, how do I conditionalize (is that a new word I just made up?) the page numbers? Seems straightforward to the uninitiated XSLFO template creator.
'Why cant I count the number of pages in the template and then render one string or another?'
'Well, you can't !'
'Why Not?'
'Because I said so !'
Hang on, hang on, this is sounding like a conversation between my son and I; except it would be about why he can not go to the movies, or hang out at the skate park or maybe ride his dirtbike - it's a power thang and I get irrational sometimes OK!
Getting back to a rational answer ... you still can't and its not because I said so, its because the XSL standards say so. Well that and the fact that the rendering engine at runtime decides how much data/information can fit on a page. To understand the process a little more, when we apply a template against some data, the flow (for the case of PDF) and assume your RTF template has been converted to XSLFO is as follows.
__________ ____
| |
XSLT Engine FO Renderer
That FO stage is the Formatting Object - its a big piece of XML that looks similar to extremely detailed HTML with pixel perfect placement of objects on the resulting page. To understand why you can not place 'page' logic in the template you need to know the processes going on. To get to the formatting object its an XSL transformation - at this stage all thats happening is the format and placement of data is applied to the XML data but there is no notion of a 'page' or how much data will fit on that page. The second stage, taking the FO to the PDF output is carried out by the FO renderer - at this point the engine will start to lay the data out on pages, calculating what will fit and then rendering it.
So, you see that any logic around pages in the template is not going to work, its lost and can not be executed in the FO layer, by then all calculations and conditional formatting will have been executed and because there is no notion of what will fit on a page or how many pages there are going to be - by then its a matter of fitting the data onto the page.
What are the options then I hear you ask? Well, we already have some extensions to the standard we have put in to our engine around page rendering. Those of you using the dynamic column solution to get a Z printing format on your PDF output are unwittingly using one of those extensions. We are therefore looking into building a page calculation extension to allow such functionality as is being asked for above - it's coming, not in the next release but some time after that.
What about now, I need a solution! - well one option to is to control the number of lines you want to show per page. If you have that in place then you can comfortably calculate in your template whether you are going to get 1 page or 100 pages of output and then act accordingly. I have covered fixed number of lines per page before and that article should get you on your way. If folks out there have found others, please feel free to share.

For Gerard Tromp, PhD, a family tree is more than just a hobby; its a valuable medical tool. Dr. Tromp, assistant professor in the Center for Molecular Medicine and Genetics, is identifying patients with intracranial aneurysms (IA) and investigating whether their family members may be at high risk for cerebrovascular disease. Furthermore, through genetic epidemiology and family linkages, he is attempting to define the genes that predispose certain individuals and families to intracranial aneurysms.
With more than $1.2 million from the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Tromp is expanding his preliminary reports that first-degree relatives of a person with an IA are at least four times more likely to have an aneurysm than the general population. Armed with this knowledge, Dr. Tromp considers it feasible to identify one or more genes that contribute to the increased risk. He also believes that identification of at-risk family members will allow concentration of diagnostic efforts on a smaller number of individuals and assist in early identification and repair of IAs.
"Cerebrovascular disease is the third leading cause of death in the United States and about one-quarter of cerebrovascular deaths are due to ruptured intracranial aneurysms," said Dr. Tromp. "Of those who survive the rupture, more than half are left with neurological deficits. Despite recent surgical and pharmacological advances, mortality after rupture remains very high. In contrast, however, the morbidity of elective surgery and treatment before rupture is very low--only one or two percent. Therefore, large numbers of lives will be saved and much morbidity will be prevented by identifying IAs before they occur."
Dr. Tromp and his international colleagues have collected data and DNA samples from members of 85 Finnish families in which at least two members have IAs. He is performing linkage analyses using affected family members. This part of the project has been funded in part by the Michigan Affiliate of the American Heart Association and by services provided gratis by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institutes Mammalian Genotyping Service.
For the follow-up studies, Dr. Tromp and his colleagues are collecting data and samples from additional families, both locally and in Finland. Locally, patients are recruited at The Detroit Medical Center in an ongoing collaboration with Dr. Fernando Diaz in the department of neurosurgery. In Finland, patients are recruited in a longstanding collaboration with Dr. Ronkainen, a neurosurgeon in Kuopio, Finland, who recruited the original 85 families and spent two years in Dr. Tromps laboratory working on the project to complete his PhD. Currently, WSU graduate student Sompong Vongpunsawad is working toward his thesis, by collaborating on this project.
Dr. Tromp will use the additional samples and genealogical information to assist in fine-mapping the gene or genes that seem to be responsible.Return to Contents

14:53, UK, Thursday 21 April 2011
Kenneth Branagh has admitted he was not the obvious choice to swap Shakespeare for superheroes to direct the latest Marvel movie.
The actor, most famous for starring in and directing films such as Henry V, Hamlet and As You Like It, turned his attention to action, special effects and monsters for Thor.
The latest comic book creation smashing its way on to the big screen sees the Norse god forced to live among humans on Earth as punishment for reigniting an ancient war.
"I knew people would probably be surprised I'm doing this and I'm a bit surprised myself," he said.
"This was two years in Hollywood into the world of visual effects and CGI and 3D and everything to do with realising monsters and flying and travelling through space.
"It was a bit of an odyssey."
Thor, which is released on April 27, comes to our screens at a time when Marvel's core business of selling comics is struggling.
The success of the Iron Man movies - which made nearly half a billion pounds at the box office - proved lesser known characters could be surprisingly profitable.
Former Home and Away star Chris Hemsworth, a relative newcomer to the film industry, told Sky News how he relished the role of Thor.
"From an acting point of view, I was playing a super hero and working with Kenneth Branagh, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins and the Marvel franchise, so (when I was asked) it was all yes, yes, yes."
Marvel comics have a large and loyal following who will doubtless subject the Thor movie to intense scrutiny.
But Branagh dismissed the pressure.
"The thing about Shakespeare is you've got an equally intense and obsessive group of people who say they know how it's done and that they're the purists," he said.
"Yes, the (Marvel fans) will be savage judges and you know you're not going to please everyone, but you hope to entertain."

Andrew Cyr of the Daily Collegian has a story on how the UMass football team is bouncing back after a tough loss at Miami on Saturday - the fourth game this season decided by less than a touchdown and the 3rd in which UMass led at halftime. Cyr says the Minutemen are just a few plays away from realistically being 4-2 overall instead of 0-6.
Miami rallied back from a 27-point deficit on Saturday to defeat UMass 42-41 at Yager Stadium in what was a tale of two halves for the Minutemen. UMass led 41-21 at the break, but a tough second half marred by turnovers opened the door for the RedHawks. The Minutemen were able to manage a last minute drive down to the six-yard line, but a play with three seconds left in overtime fell just short of the goal line.

Seriously? Friction? Seems more likely that the x-ray output would be produced by the

Just a guess on my part...
In what is turning out to be one of the best months ever for black-hole fanbois, a team of Dutch, Italian, and US space boffins has detected the "heartbeat" of what appears to be teensiest, weensiest black hole ever discovered.

Seriously? Friction? Seems more likely that the x-ray output would be produced by the
same thing that produced the narrow beam gamma radiation in the old synchrotrons.
Just a guess on my part...
A spectrum easily differentiates between astronomical X-rays produced by synchrotron radiation and hot material. Since matter falling into a black hole can potentially convert a significant fraction of its mass to energy (by friction, tidal and other effects), there's plenty available to heat it to the point where thermal X-rays will be produced.
Designed for a 2-year lifespan, STILL WORKING TODAY ?
If only cars could be made like that.
To heck with cars, make a bloody printer like that !
HP Laserjet 4 When Hp Made stuff that lasted than the Warranty ...
I've seen perfectly good printers (and other peripherals) be replace due to nothing more than lack driver support on current operating systems.
you know, designed with a 2-year lifespan...
You want the old HP LJ II and III, and in the case of large volume, the IIIsi and 4si...
...............attraction myself.
Well maybe it was larger before and evaporated.
Nope - a solar mass black hole takes ~2x10^67 years to evaporate completely (and it's an exponential runaway effect, so for the first 10^67 years not much mass is lost), bigger ones correspondingly slower. And with a radiation temperature of 10^-7 K, it would (for the 'foreseeable' future) actually gain mass from the cosmic microwave background.
Wouldn't that make it older than the age of the universe though?
I thought evaporation took a very long time - even on cosmic scales - related to it's mass.
The power in the Hawking radiation from a solar mass black hole turns out to be a minuscule 9 × 10E−29 watts. Bigger bodies radiate less than smaller, so a 3 solar mass black hole wouldn't lose any appreciable amount of mass over the lifetime of the galaxy.
The only blackholes that could have shrunk appreciably are those that were created in the big bang itself and started off much smaller than any blackhole created by a supernova could be.
More like a few km across, right?
At 3 solar masses, the radius would be ~10 km
It's a figure of speech, meaning small.
For example jockeys are larger than a pint but referred to as pint-sized.
3 solar masses in 10km...
Way to go 7-zip!
Now, that's my-kind-of-pint sized.
The only acceptable use of the word 'fanbois' is to refer to Apple supporters.
Black hole fanboi? Guilty as charged, though I don't feel the need to attack, say, pulsars and quasars in internet fora.
I dunno, I'm quite happy to be known as a science fanboi.
You mean you can't see the relation between Apple and black holes?
Are you trying to say that the top of Steve Jobs polo neck was actually an event horizon?
This headline got me confused with the Foo Fighters seismograph thang - who was that pint-sized star-sucker?

Miley Cyrus has not been shy about her love for all things weed. "I love weed. I just love getting stoned," she told W magazine for their March 2014 issue.
Clearly, Miley is still trying hard to shed her Hannah Montana squeaky-clean image. Drug use and references are certainly one way to do that. Though it is obvious she wants to be considered grown up, this approach does not show the maturity one would expect from an adult.
Whether she likes it or not, a large portion of Miley's fan base is still children or adolescents. Despite an over-the-top dramatic (life)style transformation, many of her Disney Channel fans have grown with her and remain fans of Cyrus. The implication here is that she is encouraging a generation to live the extravagant life she does, despite the fact that this way of life is not accessible to the majority of the world's population.
Case in point: Bangerz.
Even the most avid Miley aficionado would be surprised by the antics at the premiere of her new concert tour, Bangerz.
Though described by Cyrus as 'art' and her way of exposing sheltered children to subject matter they may not otherwise encounter (maybe for good reasons…), the Bangerz tour appears to simply be chaotic, filthy debauchery littered with cannabis references left, right, and center.
If the glittering weed leaf-adorned body suit or the simulated fellatio on a fake Bill Clinton appeared to you to be the most controversial actions of the night, you were wrong.
With the purchase of a Bangerz tour book, you receive not only a book of a scantily-clad Miley in an array of disturbing position but two 24k-gold rolling papers, a status symbol in the hip hop community.
To deny this is encouraging marijuana experimentation is ignorant and irresponsible.
In the past, Miley has also touted the social and mental positives of the party drug, ecstasy, while maintaining she's not overly impressed by cocaine. She also smoked a real joint on stage in 2013 at the EMA's, without warning her staff or the awards show workers, because she thought the fans would love it.
What's sad is that Cyrus is oblivious to the difference in social standing and resources between her and her average fan. Many people cannot afford to spend large amounts of money on recreational drugs, while paying other bills and maintaining a happy, healthy life. Moreover, not many individuals can manage the steep cost of rehab and substance abuse treatment that can result of such overindulgence.
The Bangerz tour highlights what society already knew about its former pop princess, Miley Cyrus: she is happy to remain blissfully unaware of social conditions and discrepancies in favor of twerking, sticking out her tongue, and getting high.

Stats at level 1 is no indication to how good a Pokemon can be later down the road. Best way to check in Gen V is go to the Nimbasa Battle Subway.

TUCSON, Ariz. ?- Former women's gymnast Heidi Hornbeek will be inducted into the University of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame on the weekend of Nov. 4-6. Hornbeek is among seven other former student-athletes that will be recognized in the 2005 class.
During her career from 1996-2000, Hornbeek established herself as one of the most accomplished gymnasts in Arizona history. She is the only gymnast to receive the AAI American Award, honoring the top senior gymnast in the nation each year. In her freshman season, Hornbeek captured the NCAA floor championship, joining Anna Basaldua as the only Wildcats to win individual national titles.
A six-time All-America selection, Hornbeek was also a seven-time All-Pac-10 honoree. In 1996, she became the first Arizona gymnast to win a Pac-10 all-around championship, and in 1997, she brought home both the beam and floor titles. Her three conference titles are the most of any Wildcat, and her career-bests still rank in the Top 3 at Arizona in each event, including all-around.
Hornbeek is one of 12 All-American gymnasts that head coach Bill Ryden has trained in his tenure at Arizona. "When Heidi came here, she was the No. 1 recruit in the country that year," said Ryden. "Her accomplishments really define just how good she was compared to her peers. She set a level of both athletic and academic excellence that will be hard to match. There was no challenge that Heidi was not up to."
Along with her athletic accomplishments, Hornbeek also garnered national attention for her efforts in the classroom. She was twice named an Academic All-American by the Coaches' Association, and in 2000 she was selected to the GTE Academic All-America second team.

Browsing the news recently, I came across this article :
Anyone who has been paying attention for the last few years had to expect that once the government is responsible for paying your health care costs, your lifestyle (in all respects that affect your health) becomes a public affair. That's the rub. I tried to figure a personal behavior of mine or a decision I make that has no impact on my health (and thus the Public Treasury). I was unsuccessful.
Limitations on salt make absolute sense to me (assuming the government owns me, and I just rent my body for the period that I am alive). One paragraph from the article stands out: "U.S. researchers said in a recent study that working with the food industry to cut salt intake by nearly 10 percent could prevent hundreds of thousands of heart attacks and strokes over several decades and save the U.S. Government $32 billion in health care costs." How can me living a healthier (in these researchers' opinion) lifestyle cause the U.S. Government to save health care expenses? It's very simple, they are paying for my health care (under Obamacare). Indeed, without some sort of socialized medicine, no controls on your behavior can be justified fiscally.
Since we have established the fact that most civil liberties infractions (controls on your personal behavior that is harmful to no one but yourself) are justified to lower costs to the public, lets add that we have had a huge component of socialized medicine even before Obamacare. Examples of this include, but are not limited to: Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare part D, Guaranteed emergency room care, etc… Indeed, before Obamacare, fully 50% of medical care was at government expense. Without these programs, someones health would be there own business. Not one cent would come from my tax dollars to pay for cancer treatment for a smoker. No money would be spent out of the public coffers to pay for surgery for motorcyclers who were too stupid to wear their helmets.
Every time you are pulled over for failure to wear a seat-belt, blame socialized health care. Every tax dollar you pay to go skydiving, blame socialized health care. In a very real sense, by passing Obamacare, laws restricting your private behavior will be required to pop up frequently. Maximum levels of fat and calorie content at restaurants is one area I expect to see some new restrictions, these just sound to the busy-bodies in Congress to make sense (for our own good). The one I am waiting for is a mandatory structured exercise; anyone see 1984? This bill is a monstrosity! Any freedom you cherish is at risk as long as the Federal Government has been given the authority to treat you as property.
I mentioned this in several blogs before Obamacare passed. Surely it is obvious to the most naive that Government responsibility for health care spending = Government controls on behaviors that effect your health. Salt is just the tip of the iceberg. But lets also view some of the other (unintended but obvious) consequences of transforming the entire medical system into a third-party (Government) payer system.
With an additional 30 million patients and no new doctors or equipment, demand will skyrocket. Yet without a commensurate increase in profitability, no new capacity will come online to accommodate this increase in demand. This supply-demand mismatch will cause a continuous hyperinflation in health care that will first bankrupt health insurers and then the U.S. Government. Citizens' civil liberties will be further curtailed by the mandatory insurance requirement (which smacks of a Poll Tax).
This mandatory purchase of health care just to be alive -or face a fine- is a very real infringement on your rights. The increased tax levels due to the supply-demand mismatch I mentioned earlier will be even more draconian than what is already required to pay our 107 trillion in unfunded liabilities already (no that is not a misprint, our government already owes a surreal amount of money and just wants to keep digging). This is not even to mention the illegality of this law. I know I've said this before, but nowhere in the text of the Constitution is the authority to legislate on the matter of health care (much less take over the entire industry).
If any bill needed an urgent nullification, it is Obamacare. Every thinking person who has survived public education and still has the capability to think critically needs to contact their State Legislator, and demand that they pass the following bill:
For those of you who are unfamiliar with nullification, this is when a State Government makes a federal law null void and of no force. By doing this, the state fulfills their role as the constitutional enforcement branch of our federal system. If we act in the vein of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison we may still be able to save our state, or maybe if enough states act, the entirety of the United States.
In Liberty,
Tim Reeves

I have to point out the reason that people can't afford medical care on an out of pocket basis, is because the federal govt. interference in the system. Before the Obamacare debate fully 50% of healthcare costs came where paid by the deep pockets of DC, and another huge percentage by very large corporations (insurance companies) when that percentage of the population is in effect consuming someone elses money, inflation is the natural result. Before we had medicare, and medicaid private charities took care of these things (and much more effectively I might say). If government was the primary cause, how is adding more government going to be the solution?
I liked the 1984 reference; a mandatory structured exercise seems like something the federal government would find a reason to make us do, so long as they were paying our health bills. I can't, in good conscience though, be as vehemently opposed to this bill. There really are people out there who actually need government funded healthcare, people who desperately need medicine and health treatment but simply can't afford insurance or are denied due to previous conditions.
If there were just some way to give it to people who need it without the system being exploited and obligatorily withdrawn from the tax payer's wallet, right?
This is excellent information, thanks for sharing it! All the years I've listened to Limbaugh, have provided me with so many insights about this very topic. Too bad more Americans can't look beyond thinking they're going to get something for free! The real beat down comes when the results of Obama's agenda to transform America shines right in the eyes of the fools who voted him in.

What's the best way to snap a losing streak? If you're the Atlanta Hawks, it means beating the team with the best record in the NBA, the Indiana Pacers, by 10 points at home. The 97-87 win snapped a three-game skid for Atlanta and improve to 13-5 at home this season. The Indiana Pacers haven't won at Philips Arena since 2006.
Thanks in large part to a 25-12 outburst in the opening quarter, including a 12-0 run to start the game, Atlanta was able to hold on to their lead even with Indiana's Paul George scoring 28 points and pulling down 11 rebounds, the only double-double of the game.
Only two other Pacers scored in double figures. Danny Granger, who started for an injured Lance Stephenson, added 14 points while George Hill finished with 10 points of his own. It should be noted that this was Indiana's fourth game in five nights. "It's not an excuse" Paul George said after the game, "but it's nothing to be down about at this point."
It was a team effort by Atlanta to get the win as five different Hawks, and four of the five starters, finished with 10 or more points. Kyle Korver led the team with 17 points, and was 3-5 from beyond the arc to extend his NBA record of consecutive games with a made three-pointer to 105 games.
DeMarre Carroll, Pero Antic, Jeff Teague and Mike Scott finished with 11, 16, 15 and 15 points, respectively as they were able to make up for Paul Millsap's terrible game in which he went 1-10 from the field and scored just four points.
Atlanta will stay at home and host the Houston Rockets on Friday. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 pm EST. They will then head to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies and then fly across the pond to England to take on the Brooklyn Nets in what is officially Atlanta's only "home" game against Brooklyn this season.

Simillary as the 7 conference RCDL-2005, the RCDL-2013 will be held on October 14 – 17, 2013, in Yaroslavl. Yaroslavl is an ancient Russian town, located in one hundred and forty kilometers to the north-east of Moscow, on the federal highway Moscow-Kholmogory.
Yaroslavl is one of the Golden Ring cities.
The conference is held by the Yaroslavl State University, established in 1918 and reestablished in 1970 considering the beginning of its history to be the year of 1803, when emperor Alexander I at the instance and on the money of the famous manufacturer and patron Pavel Demidov founded the Academy of Higher Sciences in a provincial city on the Volga river, later changed into Demidov Law Lyceum. Today Yaroslavl Demidov State University is the leading higher educational institution of the Upper-Volga region with 7800 students. It is a classical educational institution preparing bachelors and masters in 70 specialities and directions.
The quality of the RCDL conferences is ensured by the following:
- Inclusion of the leading Russian and foreign experts in the RCDL area into the Program Committee;
- Competitive selection of extended abstracts (each submission is peer reviewed by three experts);
- Refinement of the papers by the authors based on the results of peer review prior to their publication;
- Bilingual reporting (at least a paper text or presentation is recommended to be in English), facilitating the perception by foreign colleagues;
- Young scientist participation support (compensation of expenses, rewarding the best papers, scientific mentoring);[
- Publication of the best papers in journals recognized by the Higher Attestation Commission of Russia (VAK).
A lot of scientists from the leading scientific centers of Russia, Austria, Germany, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, the USA,Ukraine and other countries have taken part in the RCDL conferences over the period of 14 years.

Somethings just happen so fast. Chaos broke out last night as Corey (friend of the family's dog) pounced on Mango and gripped her in his mouth. Mind you, Mango is a seven pound Pom and Corey is a mutt (I just know he's a Pitbull-mix) and he's fully grown. Yeah, obviously there's really not a match. Anyways, everyone dropped what they were doing and ran over to try and pry his mouth open. People were screaming, and beating on him. I was frozen in my seat. Sasha (my other doggy, a poodle-mix) starts barking and is upset so I grabbed her and kept her away from the scene. When they finally got Corey's mouth open Mango was bleeding and nonresponsive. My sister and her boyfriend immediately left to take her to the animal ER.
Ann hurt her hand. Sno (Corey's owner) had hurt himself too. He was livid and disturbed at what he had just witnessed. Corey's being put up for adoption. When they took Mango I really thought that she was just going to come back with stitches. Hurt, yes. But she'd be okay. We called my sister to check on the situation only to hear that Mango's spleen had ruptured and they were going to have to put her down. We went to the animal ER to see her. Her eyes wouldn't close. She looked at peace though-- Betty said that she doesn't think Mango felt any pain though... so that was good. She wasn't even a year old-- she was just a baby. This is my first time going through the loss of a pet, it's really weird. I don't think people really understand unless they go through it too. (I mean all the people who say, "It's *JUST* a pet.") I love Mango. I miss her a lot already. (I know it's going to be okay so don't bother writing that =. I do hope that she didn't suffer. And I do hope that Corey is adopted by someone who can "handle" him I guess, maybe someone will need a guard dog, I don't know.
My favorite memory of Mango is how in the morning when you let her out of her crate, she'd attack you with her paws and kiss you all over. She was REALLY affectionate in the morning. I used to let her lay with me (under my blanket and everything). She loved playing with toys and was so excitable. She loved goat cheese. If you so much as whispered it-- she would start shaking from excitement. So precious. She really was such a wonderful addition to my family. I love you Mango. Adieu, adieu and a thousand times goodnight. <3

Never underestimate the power of story. We can spend our time buried in textbooks, cookbooks, self-help books, and surrounded by some of the greatest lecturers, doctors, nutritionists, in the world, but theoretical knowledge can only bring you so far. Our unique, individual relationships with food are profoundly deeper than any book or lecture could ever hope to reveal. Despite what we get told by the material modern world, it is often what's invisible, what's emotional, intuitive and deeply experienced that holds the key to our relationship with food. No amount of calorie counting or dieting can takes the place of some solid inquiry time and relating to the true inner you. In this same vein, I want to guide you towards this article by Marc David at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, as it feels so representative of the eating challenges that many of us face today, particularly women.

College Hockey:Lowell Dominates, Then Holds Off Providence, 4-3
Undefeated River Hawks Move Into First Place
LOWELL, MASS. — About the only thing UMass-Lowell didn't do in convincing fashion for the first 39 minutes was perhaps sell enough popcorn. After seizing a 4-1 lead, however, the River Hawks surrendered a late-second period breakaway goal and enough penalties in the third period to make an eventual 4-3 win over Providence a dramatic one.
Even so, the win puts the undefeated River Hawks (4-0-0, 2-0-0 HEA) in first place in Hockey East since New Hampshire and Northeastern tied, 2-2.
"It shows that we can be a dominant team when we execute our goals and our plan for that game," said UML coach Blaise MacDonald.
Defeating a team projected to be the best in Hockey East came as no surprise to Lowell captain Chris Gustafson.
"We went into the game thinking we matched up with them well," he said. "We went in thinking that down low our defense could outmuscle their forwards and get the puck out of our zone. Our forwards, we assumed were bigger and stronger than their defensemen and would be able to cycle it down low.
"And I think that for the two-thirds of the game [that we dominated], I would attribute to our forwards cycling it so well down low. That's the best I've seen our team do it this year. That's going to take us a long way."
The loss drops Providence to 1-3-0 overall on the season, with an 0-1-0 mark in the league. It's been a disappointing opening for the team picked in the coaches' preseason poll to finish first in the league.
"Obviously, we're not playing like a team that got picked to win Hockey East," said assistant captain Peter Fregoe. "We're playing like a team that was picked to finish fifth. We got dominated and it's just not acceptable.
"Any time you lose the first two periods of a hockey game, 90 percent of the time you're not going to win and we showed that tonight. We played good for one period, but that wasn't good enough."
UMass-Lowell dominated the first period in almost every phase of the game while taking a 3-1 lead. The River Hawks, who owned a 16-8 shot advantage, spent long stretches in the Friar end, even taking that to the extreme of great forechecking on the penalty kill.
Lowell controlled play from the outset, finally capitalizing at 7:47. PC netminder Nolan Schaefer had just made a stop on Steve Slonina at the doorstep, but the puck moved to Josh Reed at the top of the right faceoff circle. The junior buried it to become the last of Lowell's six defensemen to score in the young season.
The River Hawks continued to control play until Providence tied the game at 9:30 on one of its few forays into the offensive zone. David Carpentier took a harmless-looking shot from high in the zone that went well wide of the net. It bounced off the back boards into the crease, however, where Drew Omicioli was able to reach from behind the end line and knock it in.
The goal marked the Friars' first shot on net in the game; UMass-Lowell had taken the first eight.
Nonplussed, the River Hawks continued to press and took the lead back at 16:47 on Peter Hay's third goal of the season. From five feet in front, Hay flipped his shot just over Schaefer's blocker into the far side.
A minute later, Ed McGrane made it a 3-1 lead, converting some nice work behind the net by Yorick Treille. Parked to Schaefer's left, McGrane slid it along the ice into the net for his third of the season.
The second period saw more of the same until the final minute. Lowell controlled puck possession in the offensive zone and played very thoroughly defensively, holding PC to only a single shot through 19:30.
"We feel we have a strong defensive club, not just the defensemen but our forwards as well," said Gustafson. "One of the keys was our neutral zone play, picking up players because they have tremendous offensive speed. Our forwards did a good job of that and our defense as a corps stepped it up one more level than we've played all year."
Six minutes into the period, Gustafson scored on a shot from the slot following some textbook passing. Baptiste Amar got the puck to Mark Concannon inside the right faceoff circle and Concannon spotted Gustafson dropping down from his point. The blueliner scored his second of the season, giving Lowell a seemingly impregnable 4-1 lead.
Providence coach Paul Pooley called a timeout, but apparently to no avail as the River Hawks did not back down.
They did, however, make a potentially costly mistake with half a minute remaining in the period, allowing a Jon DiSalvatore breakaway off a bad defensive decision. DiSalvatore beat Jimi St. John to put Providence back in striking range at 4-2.
Four third-period Lowell penalties, most notably a five-minor major and game misconduct to Laurent Meunier for a hit from behind, turned the game's outcome from a foregone conclusion to an open question.
The major penalty came just 1:29 into the third, but the River Hawk penalty kill which had been so effective all game again thwarted Providence. The Friar frustration reached its pinnacle when halfway through the major an aggravated Stephen Wood committed an obvious cross check on Dan Fontas to even the sides.
The succession of penalties continued, leading to a brief five-on-three PC advantage at 6:04 and then another one of almost a minute and a half duration at 11:23.
Pooley pulled out all the stops, lifting Schaefer for an extra skater to make it six-on-three until a PC infraction for bowling over St. John in a scramble at the crease forced the return of the Friar netminder.
At 13:05, it became a one-goal game when Wood found Peter Fregoe to the left of St. John and fired the puck to Fregoe where the senior could deflect it in.
Providence penalties, however, then short-circuited its momentum. The River Hawks actually enjoyed a five-on-three advantage of their own, but couldn't give themselves some breathing room with an insurance goal.
Even so, as the game closed they were able to keep the puck in the PC end for much of the last minute to prevent the lifting of Schaefer until 20 seconds remained.
UMass-Lowell is off until next week while Providence hosts UMass-Amherst at 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
