Robin Wright, 47, canoodles with toyboy Ben Foster, 32, as they join Daniel Radcliffe at Kill Your Darlings premiere in Toronto
His film was about to be viewed by critics, but if Ben Foster had any nerves they were quickly quashed by his girlfriend.
Robin Wright was right by her toyboy's side on the red carpet of a Kill Your Darlings premiere.
The screening of the movie was held on Tuesday as part of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Scroll down for trailer
Canoodling on the red carpet: Ben Foster and Robin Wright cuddled up at the Kill Your Darlings premiere as part of the Toronto International Film Festival on Tuesday
The pair couldn't keep their eyes off each other and weren't deterred by photographers as they cuddled up together.
At one point Ben, 32, was seen whispering sweet nothings into the 47-year-old's ear.
Ben was dressed in a classic black suit and white shirt with no tie while his Moneyball star better half flashed her bra in a sheer printed grey shirt.
Best supporting girlfriend: Robin was right by her toyboy's side for the screening of his new movie
The look of love: It was as if no one else was around them as the two actors gazed at one another
Robin wore the top tucked into black skinny jeans and accessorised with black pumps and a matching trilby.
They were joined at the event by the star of the movie Daniel Radcliffe, who looked dapper in a rich plum suit with a grey tie, and happily autographed Harry Potter books for his fans.
Erin Darke, who appears in the movie and was for a time romantically linked to the Harry Potter star, pulled out all the stops.
Leading men: Daniel Radcliffe and Dane DeHaan, who star in the movie, posed up together
He hasn't forgotten his roots: Daniel was more than happy to autograph Harry Potter books for his fans
Dressed to impress: Daniel was extremely suave in his plum suit while Jack Huston stuck to classic black
If Daniel is a former flame of Erin's, she was certainly showing him what he was missing in her extremely racy lace black dress, topped off with red lipstick.
Michael C. Hall, Dane DeHaan and Jack Huston were also in attendance and each sported a suave suit.
Kill Your Darlings tells the true story of Beat pioneer Lucien Carr's murder of alleged stalker David Kammerer, and Daniel plays legendary poet Allen Ginsberg in the film.
Showing him what he's missing?: Erin Darke, who was romantically linked to Daniel earlier this year, left little to the imagination in a racy lace black frock
Their own personal photographer: Michael C. Hall posed with director John Krokidas while writer Austin Bunn took pictures in the background
Elizabeth Olsen plays leading lady Edie Parker, but missed the event as she flew out of Canada two days earlier.
Daniel, 24, has had a busy time at the annual film festival as he has also been there to promote another movie, romantic comedy The F Word.
The film follows two pals whose friendship has developed romantic undertones.
Getting along great: It seems that the team behind the movie developed a close bond during filming. The group posed together at a photo call on Sunday
Gritty drama: Daniel plays legendary poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, which tells the true story of Beat pioneer Lucien Carr's murder of alleged stalker David Kammerer

Armed bandit shot dead on Sheriff St
An Agricola youth was yesterday shot dead moments after he snatched a bag of money from a licensed firearm holder who was at the time making a purchase at Ramchand Auto Spares on Sheriff Street.
The relatives of Kevin Fields, 21, of Titus Street identified his remains at the Lyken's Funeral Home around 4 pm. Stabroek News later visited the East Bank Demerara community but when his relatives were approached, they opted not to comment.
The money and a .32 Taurus revolver with five matching rounds that Fields was reportedly armed with were found near his body. His accomplice who was on a CG motorcycle managed to elude capture. Crime Chief Leslie James said last evening that ranks were still looking for that person.
Police later said in a press release that at around 12:00 hrs a businessman went to Ramchand Auto Spares to transact business, "when a man armed with a firearm entered and took away a bag containing $1.7M."
The release said that the armed man then ran outside and towards a motorcycle that was being ridden by an accomplice, pursued by the businessman. The armed man discharged a round and the businessman, who is a licensed firearm holder, returned fire hitting the armed man to his neck.
His accomplice managed to escape, the release said, adding that in addition to the money bag and the weapon, police also recovered a spent shell from the scene.
Many curious persons who gathered to get a glimpse of the bloody corpse which was sprawled at the side of Sheriff Street, a few metres from the Duncan Street intersection, applauded the businessman for his bravery.
Stabroek News was told that a short while earlier, the man had transacted business at a city bank. Thereafter he proceeded to the Sheriff Street establishment in a taxi. It is suspected that the man was trailed from the bank. Police have often urged businesspersons to desist from moving around with large amounts of cash and to use bank cards instead.
Eyewitnesses recalled seeing the bandit running out of the store with the businessman in hot pursuit. In the vicinity of Duncan Street, he jumped onto a waiting CG motorcycle but it appears as though when it pulled off he fell off. One eyewitness told the media that it was this point that the bandit discharged a round at the businessman who then pulled a gun from his waist and discharged a single bullet which struck the bandit.
A man who was working in the area at the time recalled hearing a gunshot followed by a few seconds of silence then another gunshot. He said that when he investigated he saw a man lying on the roadway with a silver coloured gun nearby. He said that he then saw a man who he later learnt had been robbed by the shot man jump into a silver grey motorcar which took off at top speed. The car was headed south on Sheriff Street.
The man said that he later learnt that the man who had boarded the car was in pursuit of the dead man's accomplice but he did not find him. He said that police arrived on the scene about ten minutes after the shooting had occurred.
Owner of the auto spares store, Ramchand Ragbeer told reporters at the scene that the businessman, who is a regular customer, went to make a purchase. He recalled that he was sitting in his office while the man was being tended to when he heard someone shouting "thief". Based on what this newspaper gathered it was the customer who was shouting.
Ragbeer said that shortly after that the customer started running behind a man who by then had snatched the grey coloured bag he had. He said that they both ran out of the store and he later leant that the bandit jumped onto a waiting motorcycle.
Ragbeer said that he has surveillance cameras at his business. The footage could be of importance to investigators. He said that previously a customer was robbed at the store but on that occasion no firearm was involved.
Asked for his reaction to the incident, the businessman said that it highlights the need for a police presence in the area especially at the Duncan Street/Sheriff Street intersection and a camera on the traffic light. "That [the camera] would have helped. I think this would have given a better image if they had a camera."
He said that he is happy that the licensed firearm holder was able to defend himself.
Persons who knew Fields personally told this newspaper that he was a known troublemaker. They said that although his relatives urged him to change his ways, he still continued.
On his Facebook page there were numerous photographs with him posing with large sums of money. In one of the photographs he appeared to be lying on a bed. Near him were several piles of money, a bank card, a paper with the words firearm licence printed at the top, a can of Red Bull and a Heineken bottle. Another showed him wearing a large gold chain
He last updated his page on July 8.

It's always exciting to see the Church in the limelight. However, as wonderful as that is, it's also very difficult to bear the vile an hateful venom of those who are bend on ridiculing and attacking it. I just wish people will judge the candidates more on their character, integrity, capability and achievements and not so much on what their religious affiliation is.

Something to keep in mind when speaking to others about the church is to normalize some of our unique LDS vocabulary. Some terms are second nature to us but are actually foreign to non-LDS. Some terms have built in assumptions to us that non-LDS do not understand. For example, we use the term "atonement" a lot but we may need to explain what we mean and explain how it connects to the Christian emphasis on the cross, being saved and grace. Maybe just remember to explain what a term or phrase means after using it or ask how they are interpreting it.

Bill in Nebraska -
You answered a post of mine on another article yesturday and indicated that belief in modern, ongoing revelation is key to my furstrations and questions about the Church. And you are absolutely right. It relates to this article as well. More than anything, in order for anyone joining the Church to have real long-term success, they need to believe that their general and local leaders are inspired by God. That this Church is God not man made. Therein lies the heart of my struggles.
As we talk to others about the Church, it can be easy to focus on what we think will resonate with them. Maybe it is the strong youth programs or an eternal family. But I think we have to remember to emphasize that we believe this Church was founded on and continues to progress and operate on revelation. If someone can't accept that they likely will not be able to accept the Church/Gospel or sustain that long-term. We shouldn't shy away from that when speaking to others because it will prove key if they run into problems or struggles with doctrine/history.

I think Tequita's article was well-said. Some of the other comments were good and they seem to be coming from members who are active. That is always comforting. I agree it is important to be cautious how we express our views and beliefs but we also must stand as witnesses of Jesus Christ in all we do and say. So many people watch us, listen to us. As we are prayerful and reading our scriptures we will receive the guidance and promptings that are needed to help us feel confident enough to share the gospel with someone.

Five years ago, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg predicted that as people became more and more dependent on social media and online communications, they would have fewer and fewer concerns about personal privacy.
"I would expect that next year, people will share twice as much information as they share this year, and next year, they will be sharing twice as much as they did the year before," Zuckerberg said in 2008.
A recent poll by Gallup seems to suggest Zuckerberg was right, though at least one privacy expert questions the findings of the survey conducted last month, in the midst of growing revelations about the broad reach of National Security Agency surveillance.
Gallup found that only 35 percent of Internet users are "very concerned" about the government's ability to monitor their Internet activities, compared with 47 percent in 2000 — a year before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The findings are surprising in the wake of the NSA spying scandal, and are particularly notable given that a separate Gallup Poll last month showed that Americans are engaged in a love fest with the Internet, with even senior citizens going online in unprecedented numbers. The poll found that 87 percent of Americans personally use the Internet — up from 69 percent in 2002 — and the number of users age 65 and older jumped 32 percentage points over the past 11 years.
So how much does wired America really care about government snooping?
"There's more understanding now of how the technology works and what you're getting from it," argued Michael Beckerman, president and CEO of the Internet Association, which represents the biggest Internet companies. "People are using it in a different way and are more comfortable with it in their lives."
Of course, that's true of virtually every serious technological advance dating back to the wheel. But Beckerman said the trend folds into a larger story about shifting attitudes on national security, pointing to changes post-9/11 that are now routine but at one time were unconscionable, like full-body searches at the airport.
Mark Jaycox, a policy analyst with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is lobbying for surveillance reform, said he thinks the Internet's pervasiveness has only increased privacy concerns.
"People will always want and have a need for private space," Jaycox said. "Just because the Internet facilitates public outflow of information doesn't mean there's a corollary that people aren't worried about their online privacy."
Jaycox questioned Gallup's polling data, and pointed to other polls showing most Americans oppose the NSA's sweeping data-collection programs.
But opposing a specific program and acquiescing to the new realities of a digital age are not one and the same. In fact, several polls indicate that a "notable minority" of Americans believe the government is doing more to violate their digital privacy than it really is — at least more than what has been divulged so far — and are still tolerant in general of surveillance, said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Center's Internet Project. It's the "I suspect the worst, and I'm still OK with it" caucus, he added.
"Resignation doesn't show up very much" in polling data, Rainie said. "But there are definitely signs that people are thinking about tradeoffs."
The polls by Gallup were both conducted Oct. 3-6 and both have margins of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. The poll on privacy concerns surveyed 887 Internet users and the poll on Internet usage was conducted among 1,028 adults.
What We're Following See More »
The Federal Open Market Committee today voted to leave interest rates alone, but "upgraded its assessment of the economy's recent performance and said near-term risks to the outlook have diminished, effectively leaving the door open to raise rates later this year, possibly as early as September."
"Spurred by VP pick Mike Pence, a former congressman with close ties to many lawmakers, the Trump campaign in recent weeks has stepped up its courtship of wary Capitol Hill Republicans. And the efforts appear to be bearing fruit." Central to the charm offensive: invitations to more than a dozen "Senate and House members into his family's private box for some power-schmoozing with him and his kids" during the Republican National Convention.
Donald Trump essentially encouraged more Russian espionage against Democrats in a press conference this morning. "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," he said. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press." That prompted Brendan Buck, spokesman for House Speaker Paul Ryan to say: "Russia is a global menace led by a devious thug. Putin should stay out of this election."
Investigations are never far from the Clintons, and here's another: At the behest of "dozens" of Republican lawmakers, the IRS is opening a fraud investigation into the Clinton Foundation."The move signals a shift from the IRS's announcement last year that it would not look into allegations of financial irregularities at the well-connected charity."
"Bickering commissioners, ineffective managers and lousy internal communication rank among the top reasons why the Federal Election Commission" has some of the worst morale in the federal government. That's the conclusion of an inspector general's report, which put "the most blame on the FEC's six commissioners: three Democratic appointees and three Republican appointees who have regularly criticized one another and frequently (but not exclusively) deadlocked on high-profile political issues before them."

By Jim of Allsup
People who apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits often have a lot of questions.
Where do you apply for Social Security disability? Who can apply? How can you find out if you are eligible or possibly qualified for SSDI benefits?
For the first time, people with severe disabilities have an easy way to get a lot of these questions answered—and fast.
With empower by Allsup, people can receive a free online assessment of their likelihood of being eligible for SSDI benefits.
They can find easy to understand information on their desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile device.
They can also start their SSDI application from the convenience of their own home, and receive 24/7 customer support, as well as user friendly videos and audio to walk them through the Social Security disability process.
It's a one-of-a-kind experience exclusively for Allsup customers, and we hope you like it.
Another feature of the new empower by Allsup is the ability to learn about returning to work, once you receive SSDI benefits and when you medically recover. There are so many important benefits to the SSDI program—that's why you shouldn't give up.
Your SSDI Application: Do It Right The First Time
It's no secret that applying for and receiving SSDI benefits can be one of the most disheartening, stressful and frustrating experiences for millions of people with severe disabilities.
The Social Security disability backlog continues to get worse, which means the best opportunity someone has to receive SSDI is to make sure you qualify with your initial application, and do it right the first time.
By using empower by Allsup, we hope you can discover the smart, easy, helpful way to apply for Social Security disability benefits.
We want to help you do it right the first time—and avoid the hearing backlog that now stretches past 530 days.
Plus, best of all, empower by Allsup's web-based technology is paired with Allsup expert disability representation by your side, all along the way.
Here at Allsup—we believe this is a better way to apply for SSDI.
ADA Marks 26th Anniversary On 26th
When President George H.W. Bush signed into law the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990, people with disabilities were given full access to public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation and employment.
This watershed moment was a great and noble idea, but sometimes it's much easier to create a law than it is to implement and enforce it.
One example comes to mind. Not long after the ADA was enacted, I joined CEO Jim Allsup on a visit to Washington, D.C., where we met with leaders of the disability rights movement. We were there to spread the word about how Allsup could help former workers obtain the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits they paid for while they were able to work.
But our conversations didn't stop there. For example, we talked about the confusion regarding the definition of how employers would make "reasonable accommodations" in the workplace for their employees. Just what is reasonable? That discussion continues today.
One day we met independently with two powerful disability rights leaders. The topic was wheelchair curb ramps, and I was surprised to learn that these two men were on opposite—and very vocal—sides of what I thought was a simple issue.
Not so. One man, with paralysis, wanted all street curbs cut to make it easier for other wheelchair users. Makes sense to me, I reasoned. Why not?
Not so fast, a blind man warned me later that same day. Creating curb ramps is extremely dangerous for people who are visually impaired and use long canes, because they are unable to detect streets before stepping into traffic.
Compromises on the construction of curb ramps were eventually made, but the battle for the civil rights of people with disabilities continues.
Allsup has been part of that effort since 1984, some six years before President Bush signed the ADA into law. In the early days, we worked to help qualified people receive SSDI benefits, and we still do.
Today, Allsup Employment Services, Inc., an Allsup subsidiary, also helps SSDI beneficiaries to use these benefits to return to work when they are able to do so.
Efforts to realize the promise and ideals of the ADA continue.
Minority Mental Health: Just because we're magic, doesn't mean we aren't real
By Tai of Allsup
African American actor Jesse Williams gave an impassioned speech when he accepted the BET Humanitarian Award last month. He attacked systemic racism and promoted social justice. Near the end of his speech, he said, "Just because we're magic, doesn't mean we aren't real."
July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Give me a few paragraphs to make the connection.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the groundbreaking U.S. Surgeon General's report, Mental Health: Culture, Race, and Ethnicity—A Supplement to Mental Health.
The report concluded that mental illnesses are serious and disabling disorders affecting all populations, regardless of race or ethnicity; however, it exacts a disproportionately greater toll on the overall health and productivity of minorities.
Among the report's findings:
- Ethnic and racial minorities in the U.S. face a social and economic environment of inequality that includes greater exposure to racism and discrimination, violence, and poverty, all of which take a toll on mental health.
- Racism and discrimination are stressful events that adversely affect health and mental health. They place minorities at risk for mental disorders, such as depression and anxiety.
- Mistrust of mental health services is an important reason deterring minorities from seeking treatment. Their concerns are reinforced by evidence, both direct and indirect, of clinician bias and stereotyping.
- Cultural misunderstandings or communication problems between patients and clinicians may prevent minorities from using services and receiving appropriate care.
Toughness & Resiliency
The Cambridge English Dictionary defines magic as, "the use of special powers to make things happen that would usually be impossible," and "a special, exciting quality that makes someone or something different and better than others."
Key ingredients to the "magic" of African American culture includes culturally protective factors cited by the report—spirituality and community and family support.
I would add resiliency. The ability to endure, most often in silence, is much more than a valued personal characteristic. It is how you survive.
This necessary toughness often makes accepting and dealing with mental illness much harder to do in communities of color.
The same dynamic—the need to be "tougher than" to exist in a society that constantly sends the message that you are "less than," is also experienced in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community.
It's not surprising that the report also found that attitudes toward mental illness held by minorities are as unfavorable, or even more unfavorable, than attitudes held by whites. Stigma discourages major segments of the population, majority and minority alike, from seeking help.
As we observe Minority Mental Health Month in July, and celebrate the magic found in all cultures, I'd like to emphasize Williams' reminder that we are real.
Our magic doesn't exempt us from mental illness. But it can help us understand, love and support each other. We can share our stories, speak out against stigma, and raise awareness that treatment works.
Did You Miss National HIV Testing Day?
By Tai of Allsup
National HIV testing day was June 27. The day may be over, but the need for people get tested is not.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1.2 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV, but one in eight people don't know they have it. That's one reason why the CDC advocates for routine voluntary HIV screening as a normal part of medical practice for all patients aged 13-64.
Additional reasons why the CDC recommends routine HIV screening:
- HIV infection is a serious health disorder that can be diagnosed before symptoms develop.
- Infected patients have years of life to gain if treatment is initiated early, before symptoms develop.
- The costs of screening are reasonable in relation to the anticipated benefits.
- Thirty percent of new HIV infections are transmitted by people who are living with undiagnosed HIV.
The CDC estimates that more than 90 percent of new HIV infections in the U.S. could be prevented by testing and diagnosing people living with HIV and making sure they receive early, ongoing treatment.
However, despite the benefits of HIV testing, nationwide, only 42 percent of people aged 18-64 report ever getting tested, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
According to the nonprofit organization Medwiser, barriers to testing include stigma, fear, people not thinking they are at risk, and physician and healthcare systems not being aware of screening recommendations.
Find Confidential HIV Testing
Most preventive healthcare, such as HIV testing, is fully covered by private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare. Under the Affordable Care Act, most health insurance plans must cover HIV testing for everyone ages 15 to 65, and for people of other ages at increased risk—without additional cost-sharing, such as copays or deductibles.
Medicare covers HIV testing once every 12 months and up to three times during a pregnancy. Medicaid coverage of routine HIV screening varies by state.
Even if you don't have health insurance, you may be able to access free, fast and confidential testing near you. Visit the CDC's website at https://gettested.cdc.gov/ for a site locator.
HIV/AIDS and SSDI
Today, HIV is a manageable disease. According to AIDS.gov, most people with HIV/AIDS can continue working, and their overall well-being and financial health can be more stable when they are gainfully employed.
For those who aren't able to continue working due to HIV/AIDS, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can offer a monthly income, access to Medicare, and help returning to work.
A recent Social Security study found that Social Security disability beneficiaries with HIV/AIDS were among those most likely to be employed.
However, the best way to avoid the need for SSDI due to HIV/AIDS is to get tested. Take the test and take action to protect your health.
As the baby boom generation ages, the number of people living with serious disabilities is exploding. Today, nearly 11 million former workers, their spouses and their children are drawing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.
About 2.5 million more apply for this critical program every year.
They all have several things in common: They suffer from life-changing disabilities so severe they had to quit working, and all of them rely on a network made up of their families, caregivers and medical professionals for support.
An integral part of that network includes the professionals who manage, process and decide their claims for SSDI benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA), which oversees the SSDI program, employs more than 65,000 people nationwide. More than 16,000 people work at state-level Disability Determination Services offices.
The National Association of Disability Examiners (NADE) serves the workers who make critical decisions every day that affect so many people, and for the last 15 years, the organization has set aside one week each year to honor them.
This year, National Disability Professionals Week is June 20-24.
In our more than 30 years in business, Allsup has helped more than 250,000 people with severe disabilities receive the SSDI benefits they paid for when they were able to work. We know how important the professionals at the SSA and DDS are in the disability claims and appeals process, and we salute them during the week that acknowledges their service.

I recently read an exposé on "fitness tracker cheats." These are people who attached their personal body monitoring devices, such as a Fitbit or Jawbone to their pets, fans, and other moving objects to inflate the amount of physical activity their devices reported.
Really. The perpetrators were usually trying to win an employer-sponsored contest, and others wanted bragging rights.
However, most people use the wearable monitors in earnest efforts to improve their physical health. Rates of obesity, heart disease and other chronic conditions keep rising, and physical activity is one way to stem the tide.
But what about a fitness tracker for mental health? Wouldn't it be cool to be able to monitor your moods, thoughts and emotions to improve your mental wellness? Imagine being part of a supportive community that gives you feedback and encouragement.
If the idea intrigues you, join me this Thursday, June 16, for "True Help Claiming Power to Improve Your Mental Health." Register here.
You'll learn about tools you can use as fitness trackers for your brain. There also will be information on how you could receive a Fitbit for participating in a mental health and cardiovascular disease study.
Researchers are learning more about the biological and chemical factors that trigger mental health and their effects on physical health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC,) mental illness is associated with increased occurrence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, asthma, epilepsy and cancer.
What's good for the body is good for the mind, and vice versa.
If you are reading this blog after June 16, you can still register and view the on-demand version of the program, which includes access to a number of resources and the transcript of the program. Find more details at Webinar.Allsup.com

I am privileged to work with a variety of mental health organizations as manager of Strategic Alliances at Allsup. Mental illness is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and mental disorders are the primary diagnoses for about one-third of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients.
Organizations like the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) and Mental Health America provide support and resources to many of the former workers Allsup represents for Social Security disability benefits.
Last week, these and 11 other national advocacy organizations participated in the National Council for Behavioral Health's Hill Day. The event brings hundreds of providers, administrators, board members, consumers and community stakeholders to Washington, D.C., for a day of workshops on federal behavioral health policy. The next day, participants arrive on Capitol Hill to meet with their elected officials and advocate for mental health legislation.
Participants from every walk of life shared their stories to illustrate the need for accessible, quality, comprehensive mental health treatment; convey the importance of eliminating stigma, and provide proof that treatment works.
One social service provider spoke of her sadness when a semi-nude woman with a mental illness was laughed at and videotaped in a parking lot, instead of being shown compassion.
"If she was having a heart attack, people would not have reacted that way," she said. "They would be trying to help, asking if anyone knew CPR and calling for an ambulance." Just like the heart, the brain is part of the body.
People living with chronic illness and disability may understand this better than most, as they often experience depression and other mental disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if not effectively treated, depression is likely to become a chronic disease. Just experiencing one episode of depression places an individual at a 50 percent risk for experiencing another episode, and increases the chances of having more depression episodes. This adversely affects the course and complicates the treatment of chronic disease.
Mental Health Web Event Is Thursday
"Claiming Power to Improve Your Mental Health," is an Allsup True Help® Web Event for individuals living with chronic illness and disability.
Please register here and join me June 16, noon CST. Experts on mental health, chronic illness, disability employment and digital imagery will share information and resources that can enhance your mental wellness.
Please help share this event, which can be found at Webinar.Allsup.com or http://bit.ly/MentalHealthPower.
One of the most powerful aspects of Hill Day 2016 was the collaboration that took place among so many different organizations. I look forward to including you in Allsup's latest collaboration promoting mental health.
Do You Know Scleroderma?
By Guest Blogger Jillian H. Scola, communications manager, Scleroderma Foundation
If you've ever silently questioned someone wearing mittens on a warm spring day, the answer may be scleroderma. Or wondered why a woman, who otherwise appeared middle-aged, wore a face as wrinkle-free as her teenage daughter. The answer may be scleroderma.
But chances are you don't know scleroderma. You don't know the pain and challenges that the relatively rare autoimmune disorder wreaks on sufferers. That's why a group of nonprofits is working together in June during Scleroderma Awareness Month culminating on World Scleroderma Day on June 29. They're partnering so that more people know scleroderma and fewer patients will suffer in silence.
During the month of June, North America's leading scleroderma advocacy and research organizations—Scleroderma Foundation, Scleroderma Research Foundation and Scleroderma Society of Canada—will combine marketing efforts to boost awareness and spark compassion.
This year marks the agencies' third consecutive annual campaign effort under the name "Hard word. Harder disease." Together, they've grown the scleroderma network and increased online buzz and engagement.
Find A Local Walk Or Walk "Virtually"!
To commemorate World Scleroderma Day on June 29, 2016, the national office of the Scleroderma Foundation is hosting a virtual "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" walk-a-thon! This is a great opportunity to connect with old friends, meet new ones online and virtually walk in memory or honor of a loved one affected by scleroderma.
The World Scleroderma Day Virtual Walk is connected to "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma," the foundation's premier fundraising event.
Unfortunately, "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" walks do not occur in every city across America. But it is important to the foundation that everyone has an opportunity to participate in the walk in some way.
Before you begin planning your walk, check here and see if there is a local walk near you. Many of our 22 chapters are hosting walks in 2016 and also have their own virtual component in case you cannot attend.
We encourage you to participate locally whenever possible. Your local chapter could have just the opportunity you're looking for—such as helping others learn to live with scleroderma, helping with an event, and also making sure scleroderma remains a priority issue for elected officials.
If there is not a local walk near you, the National Scleroderma Virtual Walk is the way to go and was actually developed with you in mind! It is an easy and fun way to make a difference by raising funds online to support those living with scleroderma.

There are nearly 14.5 million people living with and beyond cancer in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Survivors Day Foundation (NCSDF).
Sunday, June 5, is the 29th annual National Cancer Survivors Day®.
The annual celebration is held the first Sunday in June and is an opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges survivors face.
"When most people hear the word 'cancer,' they automatically think the worst," said Laura Shipp, foundation spokesperson, in a press release about the event. "But the truth is that more people are living longer and better quality lives after cancer than ever before."
The day raises awareness about the hardships for cancer survivors and their loved ones. "These include not just physical side effects," Shipp said, "but also psychological, social, and emotional distress, as well as significant financial hardships."
A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that growing medical costs, missed work and reduced productivity significantly impact U.S. cancer survivors.
For individuals with cancer and cancer survivors who must stop working, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is an important resource.
SSDI Helps with Finances
The average monthly SSDI payment in 2016 is $1,166, and $1,983 for those with dependents. Filing for SSDI also can help cancer survivors protect their retirement income by "freezing" their Social Security earnings records during their period of disability. This means those years of little or no earnings won't count when calculating your retirement benefits.
SSDI Helps with Healthcare
Regardless of age, 24 months after the date of cash entitlement to SSDI benefits, SSDI recipients are eligible for Medicare, which includes hospital (Part A) and medical (Part B) benefits.
SSDI Helps with Re-employment
When and if they are able to re-enter the workforce, cancer survivors who receive SSDI are also eligible for Social Security's Ticket to Work program, which includes employment counseling and other supports.
Allsup Helps with SSDI Screening And Representation
Cancer patients and survivors who have not been able to work or anticipate not being able to work for 12 months or more may be eligible for SSDI benefits. Request a complimentary evaluation at Expert.Allsup.com or by calling (800) 678-3276.
Find True Help® During June 16 Web Event
Cancer can take a psychological toll.
Fortunately, many organizations offer resources and programs that help with mental health needs. Whether you are a cancer survivor, or someone living with a chronic illness or disability, please join me on Thursday, June 16, at noon (CST) for "True Help Claiming Power to Improve Your Mental Health."
Experts in the fields of mental health, social work, employment and chronic illness will be available to answer your questions and show you innovative programs designed to empower and improve your quality of life.
Remembering Norman
Realizing that Memorial Day is Monday, May 30, brought back memories of my own days in uniform.
Some decades ago when I still in the Air Force, I wrote a magazine story about a young airman killed in Vietnam in 1969. Norman Thomas was one of the more than 58,000 Americans killed there. But Vietnam wasn't a movie. He didn't die in a blaze of glory; he died in a hail of shrapnel on an anonymous Southeast Asia flight line.
Norman was of my generation; the Vietnam generation. I chose him to write about because, in a sense, he was nothing special, unless all who died in combat are special. He was just one of us; baby boomers caught up in a war that no one there understood and few back home cared about. He wasn't a hero, unless all who served and died are heroes. I wrote about Norman for precisely that reason.
While writing the story, I learned that Norman is more than a distant memory and a name chiseled on the granite walls of the Vietnam Memorial.
It took me months to research and write the story. I traveled to five states to interview his parents, his widow and his daughter. I spoke at some length with childhood friends, relatives, a teacher and a burly high school wrestling coach who remembered him fondly with a tear in his eye. I even talked to his barber. The day before Norman left for the Air Force, he asked for a buzz cut so he wouldn't stand out in basic training. He could have saved two bits because an Air Force barber gave him a free haircut the next day, whether he needed one or not.
I also learned that Norman was an ordinary young man with simple aspirations. He wanted to serve his country for four years and then return home to his wife and daughter. "Norm was a product of a broken home," his widow told me some 15 years after his death. "All he really wanted was a real home and a family to call his own."
That wasn't meant to be. Just a few weeks after his 21st birthday, an enemy rocket destroyed Norman's C-130 Hercules while it was taxiing on a runway in Quang Loi, a tiny village in South Vietnam's Binh Long Province.
At that moment, Norman Thomas ceased to be. His is a sad story; a tender story. It's also a story that's been repeated countless thousands of times over the years by so many other Americans who died while wearing the uniform.
On this Memorial Day, let's pause and remember all those who died defending our country.
And let's remember Norman.

Peg's temperature rises, and is taken to the hospital, only to find out she has polio, the only case in her town of that year. Peg is immediately put into isolation, where she becomes paralyzed from the neck down, and cannot breathe properly. She develops not only one type of polio, not two, but three types. The author made me feel like I was there, witnessing Peg's discomfort.
Read about Peg's feelings as her polio worsens, then gets better. Share her triumphs and disappointments. You'll be caught up in this book, and you won't want to put it down.
Peg Kehret tells what happens in Peg's fight against polio. The author really makes you feel like you're there. I think people of all ages looking for a good drama will really enjoy this book. It teaches you what happens when you're willing to try anything to get things the way you want them. This book takes you away from your world, and into Peg Shulze's.

Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio
Peg Kehret
Have you ever thought of what it would be like one day, waking up, feeling completely fine, and then you have a muscle spasm, and you find out later that you have a disease that can severely hurt you, or even kill you? In the book, Small Steps: The Year I Got Polio, Peg comes to find that she has three different types of polio. She started off with just a muscle spasm, thinking it was no big deal. She later finds out she has polio. Then she finds out that not only does she have polio, but three different types. She meets a few people in her journey through different hospitals. This story is a page-turner; it's amazing to see how strong some people really are, not on the outside, but on the inside as well.
This book is incredible. People think that their lives are so terrible, but really when you think about it, and you read this book, you realize things aren't as bad as they seem. I mean, I am not one that loves to read, but to hear someone else's story, and about there life, it's shocking. I honestly, would never be able to deal with what she went through. She went from hospital to hospital; she dealt with the mean nurse that made her put hot rags on her skin to help loosen her muscles. I would never be able to handle the stretching, and the hot rags or any of that. It shocked me to hear that polio can kill you. Some of the girls in the room that she stayed with had polio also, Alice has had it since she was little, and her family didn't want a blob sitting/laying around all day. One of the other girls had to lay in an iron-lung, because her lungs were not strong enough to let her breathe on her own.Read more ›
Ultimately, this book is very accessible for people of any age, but especially kids. The language is simple but paints clear pictures of how Peg felt. She writes about the sadness of losing a favorite stuffed animal and the incredible joy of being able to drink a chocolate milkshake after being refused it for days. These simple things make it easy to relate to Peg and the other kids she writes about, even if we can't relate to her experience with polio.
As a parent, I appreciate all the information included about the history of polio. I appreciate the lessons Peg learned and shares with us, including never giving up, the importance of family, and how small kindnesses can make a big difference. There are beautiful life lessons subtly woven into this book that can provide great topics of conversation.
I recommend this book for any kid or family.

'Argo' star and director Ben Affleck has revealed his wife Jennifer Garner, daughters Violet, six, and Seraphina, three and nine-month-old son Samuel, hated the facial hair he had to grow for the movie.
Ben Affleck's family hated the beard he grew for 'Argo'.
The 40-year-old actor admitted his wife, Jennifer Garner, daughters Violet, six, and Seraphina, three and nine-month-old son Samuel, were unimpressed with his facial hair for the political thriller but Jennifer is too ''kind'' to make a big deal out of it.
He told Entertainment Weekly: ''My wife is a very polite and kind woman. She and the kids did not like the beard. It had an exposed wire vibe. It was hated in my home.''
Ben - who has been tipped for an Oscar nomination for directing the movie - admitted his family has influenced the type of movies he makes.
He added: ''Being at a place in my life and my career where I know what I'm trying to do, it's different than being 26. When you're younger and have the early success that I had - it sounds like the worst Hallmark cliche - but I didn't have anyone to share it with. ''I don't mean I wanted someone to sit by the fire with. But when you have a family and children, you kind of see yourself reflected in them. I want to make the kinds of movies that my kids are proud of. I have higher standards, in a way, for them.''
The 1969 session, including the only known recording of 'Sunshine Woman' by the band, will be included on a re-issue of 'The Complete BBC Sessions'...

Home Depot Says It Will Save $16 Million By Switching To CFLs
Home Depot has announced (PDF) a free in-store, consumer CFL bulb recycling program at all of its 1,973 stores in the U.S.
It also announced that it expects to save $16 million in annual energy costs by switching all of its U.S. Light Fixture Showrooms to CFLs by the fall of 2008.
Expired, unbroken CFL bulbs will be handled by an environmental management company that will "coordinate CFL packaging, transportation and recycling to maximize safety and ensure environmental compliance," Home Depot says. The Home Depot Canada launched a CFL recycling program in November of 2007.
Home Depot says it sold more than 75 million CFL's in 2007, which saved Americans approximately $4.8 billion in energy costs and 51.8 billon pounds in GHG from entering the atmosphere over the life of the bulbs. Wal-Mart, which has twice as many stores in the U.S. as Home Depot, has accepted expired bulbs at times and is exploring how to do it consistently on a national level, the New York Times reports.
"With more than 75 percent of households located within 10 miles of a Home Depot store, this program is the first national solution to providing Americans with a convenient way to recycle CFLs," said Ron Jarvis, senior vice president, Environmental Innovation.
The European Union is banning the inefficient light bulbs by the end of the decade, and GE says it is working on high-efficiency incandescent lamps that will match the light quality, brightness and color as current lamps while saving energy and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
