Do you know what to do if someone makes a threat? What if you have an employee or student who seems scary or even just "odd"? Do you know how to tell whether the threat is real….and what to do if it is?
Before a school shooting, workplace shooting, or assassination, there are typically clues about the attack in advance. Often many people have a small piece of the puzzle about a person's ideas and plans for harm – but don't think to alert police or tell others what they know. Threat assessment makes prevention possible.
At Threat Assessment Resources International, we help you to better handle threats, manage threatening situations, and protect your people from harm. Through our training, you can learn how to figure out who might know something, assemble that information, figure out whether there is a real threat, and intervene to prevent harm. With our consulting services, we can do that work for you or help guide your efforts.
Learn more about our services for businesses, colleges/universities, schools, and security professionals. Download our free reference materials in our publications section. Checkout the latest news and updates on our blog. And please contact us any time if we can be of assistance.

Secrets of Success
Thursday, April 26, 2012
I am still amazed when I hear people trying to lose weight and not taking vitamins. You are restricing your calories and your body of specific things...even fit people do...and the only way to make your body work it's best, is to give it what it lacks. Trust me...you can't everything your body needs on calorie restriction by just the foods you eat!
I'm quite fortunate. I work next to Dr. Patterson Stark, and antiaging specialist Doctor and he makes you get a FULL BLOOD workup...LIKE EVERYTHING your normal doctors don't and then some! Then has you fill out a 16 page quetionaire about you, your family, your lifestyle, etc. Then when the results come back, he sees what your body is doing, what it's lacking, and what you may have excess of...and then prescribes Nutri-west Supplements...they are American and high quality. He actually helps and consults people all over the world by skype and is am amazing man...seriously. Blows my mind.
So some of you have asked what I take...first of course, I would suggest you see a doctor that actually cares about the healthy changes you are trying to make and not just the problems and how to get you through his door and barely examine you. But I think, personally, I tell my family, friends, and clients, these should be your minimum daily vitamins...and please stay away from crap! Like Centrum and those all in 1 things...most of those have been discovered in many portapottys...your body doesn't absorb them...you just crap them out...money wasted...nothing gained!
I think (my opinion remember...not a doctor) you need a high quality multivitamin, Omegas, and maybe calcium and or Vitamin C...depends on your Multi, etc.
What do I take...LOL...it seems like alot but it's like clockwork and you don't really notice things until you STOP taking them...whoa does my body work differently. Dr. Stark makes you get bloodwork every 3 months to track the progress...so it DOES help! The proof is that my heart isn't working so hard now and my energy levels are higher...hormones are leveling out because oddly I had a lot of testosterone,etc.
NutriWest Core Reserve Multivitamin
Nutriwest B Complex
Nutriwest Protect
Nutriwest Omegas
CLA (from health food/body building store)
Nutriwest Core Reserve Multivitamin
Nutriwest B Complex
Nutriwest Omegas
Nutriwest B Complex
Nutriwest Omegas
Nutriwest Protect
Nutriwest Immuno D3
Nutriwest Total Cort
So...I know that vitamins are an investments but like eating clean healthy and fresh...it's an investment in your health, your futures, being around for your family, more energy at work, etc
LIVE your life...don't just exist.

Ugh I just watched a video the other day about a doctor trashing vitamin supplements and I got so angry that I had to click away. I take a plant-based MV without any sort of artificial colors, I take a digestive enzyme, and I take some omegas. I think the brand of my enzymes is "Now".

Thanks for the reminder. I believe in vitamins and need to find a good nutritionist nearby to work with. I do the best I can but I think as i get older and lose weight I need something better for me personally. I know I'm lacking something something because the skin on my forearms is perpetually purple with skin hemorages, and no doctor that I asked can tell me anything except that my skin is thin because I'm older!(60'S, NOT ANCIENT!) An intern in the ER suggested vitamin K so I've been eating bunches of kale with no results. No accident that I visited this blog team that I rarely come to even though I'm a member. Just a little wake-up call. I think many of us via the internet know as much or more than some doctors these days!

Gaming stocks can provide both big opportunities and big risks for investors. Before betting on which company is going to make you the most money, it's important to understand both sides of the equation. So let's look at which gaming company provides the best long-term odds for investors.
Asia remains the best opportunity
The first thing to consider in gaming companies is the markets they serve and the opportunity in those markets. In the U.S., there's essentially Las Vegas and everywhere else. Las Vegas is recovering slowly from the recession and provides a decent opportunity for gaming companies. However, regional gaming, particularly in Atlantic City, is floundering. Increased competition from expanded gambling in states has led to revenue reductions and losses across the industry. The best stock in gaming won't be found in regional gaming in the U.S., so our focus should be Las Vegas and Asia.
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS), Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN), and MGM Resorts (NYSE:MGM) have properties in Las Vegas and Macau, while Melco Crown (NASDAQ:MPEL) is focused on Macau. These are the best opportunities for gaming investors and the stocks I will focus on below.
Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) has resorts in Las Vegas but gets a majority of its revenue from regional gaming, so I'll eliminate it from consideration. The regional drag, along with a corporate structure that would make anyone's head spin, make this a stock I'd stay away from.
Valuing gaming stocks
Now that we have our top four, it's time to look at what we're paying for each stock.
To value gaming companies, the best method is to take the enterprise value, or market cap plus net debt, and divide by EBITDA, a proxy for cash flow. The table below includes the figures that go into this calculation and the multiple for each of the four companies that have exposure to Las Vegas and/or Asia.
Market Cap
Net Debt
Las Vegas Sands
$50.9 billion
$7.1 billion
$5.28 billion
Melco Crown
$15.1 billion
-$26.3 million
$1.39 billion
Wynn Resorts
$18.7 billion
$4.3 billion
$1.85 billion
MGM Resorts
$11.7 billion
$11.6 billion
$2.43 billion
I'll note that all four of these companies are also building new resorts in the Cotai area of Macau, so they'll likely grow over the next three years as these sites are completed. Outside of Melco Crown, which has a part ownership in a new resort in the Philippines, the companies have similar expansion opportunities in the near term.
The best stock in gaming
Right now, buying gaming stocks is all about maximizing reward for the least amount of risk. Macau's gaming revenue has fallen for three straight months, so there's downside potential if that trend continues, which should worry investors. There's also debt load to consider, which is why I'll take MGM Resorts (and its $11.6 billion in net debt) out of the running despite the leveraged upside the stock could have if Las Vegas and Macau grow in coming years.
Melco Crown also has potential, but it isn't approved for table games yet at its Studio City resort in Macau, and the Philippines is an unknown asset at this point.
In my opinion, Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts jointly hold the top spot in gaming this quarter because they provide upside with less risk than their competitors. Las Vegas Sands should continue to benefit from mass market growth in Macau and has net debt of just 1.3 times trailing EBITDA. Wynn Resorts is building its third property, this time on Cotai: When Wynn Palace is complete it could double the company's EBITDA.
These are the two best bets in gaming right now, and I think they'll trounce the market by a wide margin over the long term as well.
Top dividend stocks for the next decade
The smartest investors know that dividend stocks simply crush their nondividend-paying counterparts over the long term. That's beyond dispute. They also know that a well-constructed dividend portfolio creates wealth steadily, while still allowing you to sleep like a baby. Knowing how valuable such a portfolio might be, our top analysts put together a report on a group of high-yielding stocks that should be in any income investor's portfolio.

Our Golden Rule - never speak in anger
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Throughout our marriage, the one "rule" that we always had and that was "the golden rule" in our little family was to "never speak in anger". I have been reading various posts and seeing that feeling anger is common. I am not angry at God, I'm not angry that he died (sad but not angry) but I have an overwhelming anger at our 2nd oldest daughter that I need to somehow release. I will try to keep this short but we have 4 daughters, 2 that still live at home. The two oldest I had prior to our marriage. Together we had two beautiful girls. Todd & I met when the oldest was only 3 years old - she is now 29, married and on her own. Approximately 10 years ago, the evil of crystal meth addiction came into our lives with the 2nd oldest daughter. Together, we were able to keep each other strong through the many tears, in & out of treatment centres and all of the things that addiction can bring into a family. Four and half years ago, she had our first grandson - we took him into our home when he was just under 2 years old when she fell to addiction once more and ended up in jail for trafficking. Our little Jordan will be 7 years old in December - he now lives with his father. His father was once an addict but with my husband's help, he is now a wonderful father and providing a beautiful home for Jordan. Our daughter got out of jail - we tried to get her moving in a good direction and it worked for a short period of time until it hit once again. She had another son in February 2011 - we ended up taking our beautiful little Carter in this past September when he was 7 months old (after a lengthy fight with social services) - the day that social services first took Carter was beyond horrific - it was the day that I saw my husband break down (I never, ever saw him that broken before or after) These two little boys have been a blessing and bring so much joy. Our daughter is once again in jail - we found out that she had another baby in May - only weeks before my husband had his heart attack. This baby is now in foster care in a different province. This is where my anger comes from - my husband was so heartbroken - he would say so many times "how come I can't get through to her". He didn't say much about this newest baby - we both knew that we didn't have the strength to take this baby in but I know how much it hurt me and how hurt my husband was about this. The last time that my husband heard my daughter speak was when she was saying over the phone that "he is a f'n a'hole" because we didn't feel we could take the baby. I know that she is feeling guilty and she has that burden to live with. My issue is that I cannot speak to her right now - I'm sooooooo angry. I know in my heart I need to tell her why I can't speak to her and plan to write a letter to her but I also do not want to hurt her with my words that my heart feels right now. I realize this is a very, very long post but I just need to somehow put this out there and by doing so, hope to find the words I need to express this

I can't really add anything that has not already been said but wanted you to know that I am sorry you are having to deal with this along with everything else......
You will know once you write the letter if you want to send it or not. Know that it is nothing YOU have done and sometimes the most painful things are the ones that we have no control over.....hugs

No one can hurt us like our children can--and, we will sacrifice and sacrifice in order to make things right for them. You have carried burdens on your shoulders that should have been your daughter's to carry--so anger is a normal response. Remember, though, that she is living a life that is being continually ripped to shreds by a demon that she has no strength to fight. I would write two letters--one to your daughter, and one to those demons...

I can not advise on something so hurtful as what you are forced to deal with. But I can feel the anger and pain in your words and want want to hug you and tell you how sorry I am. You will be in my heart and prayers. Sharon

I love what Feather said so well. the anger that you carry is JUSTIFIED and it HURTS YOU to feel it as you LOVE your daughter.
I would write two letters. One telling your daughter of your anger and also how much you LOVE her.
another to the Illness that makes this so HARD for ALL involved. Your daughter cannot control this illness many times. It is NOT her. it IS the illness, and addiction....IS AN ILLNESS. Not one we EVER wnat for our children, but one that takes some over and all we CAN do is to let them know we love them, but that it is not tolerable the actions that come FROM the same illness.
My dad was mentally ill for many years. MANY times I wrestled with anger. ANGER at his actions, anger at the hurt caused to so many, anger at the fact that I could NOT cure it for him. In the end, I had to recognize that it is not my dad I'm angry at. it is the ILLNESS that made him do the things he did and say the things he said. It is HARD to get to that point....but YOU WILL.
and through it all, you will never stop loving your daughter...I never did my dad.
LOVE AND MANY HUGS of understanding....diane

I am sorry you are suffering so because of your daughter and her problems. One of the things that struck me about your post was when you said that Jordan's father had turned his life around and that Jordan was living with him now. Jordan's father "hit bottom" and found there was a reason to clean up and that there was support for him doing that, too.
That same circumstance and opportunity has been there for your daughter. As long as she thinks - in whatever way and whatever fashion - that she can continue with no consequences, then she will not "hit bottom." If she doesn't hit bottom, she will not turn her life around ever.
It is true that some addicts never hit bottom. They never see anything worth fighting for. But many do - as Jordan's Dad illustrates.
I think your love and support can prevent her from hitting bottom. I think that if you make it clear to her that you are angry, that her actions are entirely unacceptable, that she is losing you and your support, that may be the best gift you can give to her. Why? Because it may be the straw that breaks the camel's back and makes her realize she is running out of chances to save her life.
It's harsh. I know it's terribly harsh. But so is having to raise your grandchildren, and having to explain why they live with you instead of their mother. It's going to be incredibly hard on the grandkids - her kids - growing up without a mother.
My husband Cliff was an alcoholic. He went into rehab and it didn't stick. Relapse after relapse, and I finally said 'enough.' I filed for a divorce, and he knew I would battle him for custody of our then 2-year old son. Being a father and wanting to be a better father than his own father had been is what saved Cliff's life. That was his "bottom." He could always entertain the idea that he would win me back until our son was involved. He knew I would stand my ground and not back down if my son's safety was in jeopardy. That's when everything changed. From that point on he stayed clean and sober and never broke that promise - and we had 20 more years together. And he was grateful for what I had done.
I don't know how it will play out with your daughter - no one can - but I think you need to set her straight about how you feel and the ramifications of what she's done. That's my two cents worth....
I am so sorry you have this burden on you, and I am glad you shared it here so that at least you can have our support through this.
Love and Big Hugs,

Was Osama Bin Laden responsible for 9/11?
The Bush Administration says yes, citing a grainy, badly-edited videotape that surfaced in December, 2001. In that tape, a fat guy who vaguely resembles Bin Laden chortles about the success of the 9/11 attacks. (In earlier interviews, Bin Laden had denied responsibility for 9/11, once even deploring the loss of civilian life in the attacks and calling them un-Islamic.)
Is the famous "confession video" genuine? Despite Bush's insistence that the tape is authentic, America's top academic Bin Laden expert has finally gone on the record, joining numerous other experts.
"It's bogus," says Professor Bruce Lawrence, head of Duke University's Religious Studies program.
Lawrence, author of Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama Bin Laden, offered his historic debunking of the administration's lie in an interview with Kevin Barrett ("Dynamic Duo," gcnlive.com, 2/16/2007, first hour). The interview marked Lawrence's first major public statement since he made headlines last year by suggesting that recent Osama tapes are hoaxes and that the real Osama Bin Laden may be dead.
Why has the Bush Administration been lying for more than five years by telling us that this preposterously bad hoax is a genuine "confession video"? Lawrence, citing informants in the US intelligence apparatus's Bin Laden units, said that everyone knows the tape is fake, adding that the hoax has been kept alive because it is politically useful to those who wish to deflect attention from
"conspiracy theories" about 9/11.
If Professor Lawrence is right—and anyone with eyes can see that he is, simply by comparing the overweight impostor in the Fatty Bin Laden bogus confession video to other pictures of Osama Bin Laden—the Bush Administration, by repeatedly citing the tape as authentic, is clearly guilty of obstruction of justice at best, high treason and conspiracy to mass murder at worst. Since the FBI now tells us that Osama Bin Laden is "not wanted for 9/11" because there is "no hard evidence" connecting him to the 9/11 attacks, and since US intelligence personnel all know the "confession tape" is a Bush Administration hoax, it should not be difficult to nail the perpetrators of this outrageous cover-up of the crime of the century.
It is time for Congress or an appropriate judicial authority to mount an investigation of the Fatty Bin Laden bogus confession video.
Where did this tape come from? Who was responsible for the
administration's claim that it is authentic, despite widespread knowledge in relevant intelligence agencies that it is bogus? If Bruce Lawrence is correct in asserting that US intelligence personnel know the tape is fake, we need to put them, along with Bush and Cheney, under oath and find out why our government has been lying so outrageously for more than five years in order to obstruct justice by shielding the real perpetrators of 9/11.
Please email your congressional representatives with the subject header "investigate bogus Bin Laden 'confession video' NOW!" and include a copy of this article in the body of the message.
