Background The prevalence of mental disorders among prisoners is considerably higher than in the general population. This is an important public health issue as the vast majority of prisoners stay in custody for less than 9 months and, when not in prison, offenders' lifestyles are frequently chaotic, characterized by social exclusion, instability and unemployment. Multi-disciplinary mental health inreach services were introduced to target care towards prisoners with severe mental illness (SMI) in a similar way to that provided by Community Mental Health Teams outside prison. The aim was to establish the proportion of prisoners with SMI who were assessed and managed by prison mental health inreach services.
Method A two-phase prevalence survey in six prisons in England measured SMI upon reception into custody. Case-note review established the proportion of those with SMI subsequently assessed and treated by inreach services.
Results Of 3492 prisoners screened, 23% had SMI. Inreach teams assessed only 25% of these unwell prisoners, and accepted just 13% onto their caseloads.
Conclusions Inreach teams identified and managed only a small proportion of prisoners with SMI. Prison-based services need to improve screening procedures and develop effective care pathways to ensure access to appropriate services. Improved identification of mental illness is needed in both the community and the Criminal Justice System to better engage with socially transient individuals who have chaotic lifestyles and complex needs.

Natalie Baszile describes a visit to a southern Louisiana sugarcane field with the kind of rapture usually reserved for love at first sight.
Once you've read "Queen Sugar," it's easy to see why. That field, first glimpsed in 2005, became the setting for this captivating debut novel about a family farm passed down from one generation to the next.
Baszile had been working on the novel for the better part of five years when she traveled to Louisiana for a friend's 40th birthday party. She already had the outline of the story, about an African-American woman from California who inherits her father's Louisiana farm.
What Baszile hadn't found was a central image -- specifically, the crop that the farm produced.
Arriving in New Iberia, she hired a tour guide who took her to rice plantations, crawfish farms, sweet potato factories, even backyard gardens. None of them seemed right.
Then her friend mentioned that her mother owned some sugarcane land.
"We got in the car and drove out there on Highway 182, the Old Spanish Trail, heading toward St. Martinville," Baszile recalls. "We pull over into this sugarcane field, and it was like the whole story came together. It was so beautiful -- the sugarcane was kind of swaying in the breeze. It was one of those moments as a writer when you think, 'This is it.' "
"Queen Sugar" tells the story of Charley Bordelon, a single mom who moves from Los Angeles to Louisiana when her father dies, leaving her the family farm. The bequest comes with an unusual condition -- that she work the land herself. She and her teenage daughter, Micah, move to Louisiana, and the novel recounts their first year there.
For Charley, it's a steep learning curve. As she attempts to understand the intricacies of sugarcane farming, she is confronted with storms, rapacious corporate farms and long-held family rivalries.
Baszile, who was raised in Southern California and lives in San Francisco with her husband and two daughters, was intrigued by sugarcane's role in the South -- a legacy "stretching all the way back to Haiti and the Caribbean," she says.
Hurricane Katrina hit not long after her 2005 visit, but Baszile says she returned to Louisiana as soon as she could. She made multiple trips to the region, meeting and working with farmers who taught her the language of sugarcane -- terms such as grinding, off-barring and laying by. Slowly, she began to understand the yearlong cycle of planting and harvesting. "I was absorbed into this culture I knew nothing about," she says, "and the more I learned, the richer the story became."
Baszile, who teaches creative writing at Crystal Springs Uplands School in Hillsborough, says that sugarcane's history is still evolving, with corporate farms buying up family operations at a fast rate.
"There are something like 480 family farms now," she says, "only 10 black farmers left, and only five women. Most of it's corporate now. Among those 480, some don't even own all the land. The conglomerates do. So they're like modern-day tenant farmers. It's kind of a dying way of life. People are hanging on, but it's not easy."
Baszile says she often thought of her own father as she was writing the book. He grew up in Louisiana and Texas, and had a "complicated relationship" with the segregated South.
He survived some painful experiences, she says; at one point, he worked in a gas station with several white men who painted the bottom of his foot with liquid rubber and set it on fire. As soon as he could, he left Louisiana, vowing never to return. Baszile says he went back eventually for visits, but "could only stay three or four days at a time."
The author, who still has relatives in Louisiana, experienced the place in a different way. "Race is still an issue," she says. "Every now and then, I'd have an experience that would remind me I wasn't in San Francisco. Those times would sting. But 99 percent of the people I met were warm and welcoming."
Now that "Sugar Queen" is published, Baszile is pretty sure she won't revisit Charley and her clan. "But I will definitely write another Louisiana book," she says. "I love it there. It's such a rich culture. I really wanted this book to be sort of a warm embrace -- to tell a good old story, to continue that Southern storytelling tradition and figure out where I fit in it. I think I'll be very happy if I can find another story there."

Financial Turmoil Takes Toll at Teva, Humana
There's more evidence that the Wall Street mess is seeping into health care.
Generics maker Teva Pharmaceutical gorged on auction-rate securities, a fancy form of debt, that used to pay a premium before the market turned sour.
At the end of last year, Teva held $655 million of the stuff, and has since sold $210 million of it. But Teva said in its most recent quarterly report that its remaining ARSs, once worth $445 million, had declined in value to $274 million. The company has taken $77 million in charges for the portion of those losses considered permanent.
Today comes the silver lining of a sort for Teva: a $100 million cash settlement from an unnamed financial institution that acted as a broker for Teva's portfolio of auction-rate securities.
Teva's three-sentence press release (not including boilerplate) is sparse on details, due to confidentiality restrictions, the company said. But it caught our eye in the week after Bristol-Myers Squibb took another charge tied to auction-rate securities.
On another front today, insurer Humana's third-quarter profit tumbled nearly 40%, dragged down in part by investment losses of $108 million, or 40 cents a share. The losses relate to what amounts to a Who's Who of the financial crisis: Humana's investments in Lehman Brothers, AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac accounted for $76 million of the losses, and the rest were spread over "22 issuers in the financial services, mortgage and asset-backed municipal and corporate sectors," the company explained during a conference call today, according to Thomson Reuters.

The Comedy Issue: Tips for new comics
RAGHAV MEHTA | Updated 10/11/2012
An aspiring local comedian dishes out advice for standup virgins.
Raghav Mehta
Photo by Marisa Wojcik
Before we begin, I want to make things clear: I don't know what I'm doing. I've only been performing standup comedy for 10 months and most of the time I feel as scared and naive as I was when I started. I've killed; I've bombed; I've walked off stage with my tail between my legs swearing to the Comedy Gods that I'd never perform again.
I can't tell you how to get on "Letterman," and I don't know what it takes to get hired by Acme. The following is just a general outline for those looking to "break in" to standup. So please, don't come crying to me when your 10-minute Honey Boo Boo bit gets panned by half of Minneapolis.
Be prepared to bomb. Realistically speaking, that's what you're going to be doing for those first few months because (and I'll repeat this several times) you literally have no idea what you're doing. Just the thought of tanking might sound like a certified nightmare, but chances are if you're new and you suck, not a lot of people are going to notice, much less care.
It's important to acknowledge that fact because it's inevitable. But it's just as important to acknowledge that everybody bombs -- amateurs, semi-professionals, even seasoned road comics with television credits. I've seen all of my favorite local comics endure their fair share of awkward silences and tepid laughter. It's a reassuring thing to witness, but that very uncertainty can also be the source of a lot of anxiety.
Standup is unpredictable and there are myriad factors -- some of which are out of your control -- that will dictate your chances of success.
Just because you killed it at Acme's open mic on Monday doesn't mean you're going to have them in stitches at the Corner Bar on Friday. So it's important to always be working on something. Whether that's tweaking a punch line or adding a new tag, no joke is ever really finished and there's always room for improvement, especially when you're just getting started.
The only way you're going to get a handle on standup is by getting stage time. Since you're new at this, you can rule out local clubs like Acme and House of Comedy. You'll have to work to get their attention (best-case scenario is you'll get a spot every two months or so). As harrowing and unbearably slow as the process might be, you're going to need to grind it out and pay your dues like everyone else.
There's definitely a stigma attached to the term "open mic," and there should be. But comics of all skill levels frequent open mics. It's both a place for amateurs to get their feet wet and an opportunity for professionals to try out fresh material in front of what are oftentimes tough crowds.
Also, let's face it, you don't have a lot of options and, once again, you have no idea what you're doing.
Nonetheless, if you really think you have what it takes, and you want people to know who you are, you'll have to start frequenting these shows. Standup is, to some extent, a meritocracy: If you're good, someone is eventually bound to notice you.
I know I risk sounding like a robot spokesman for Nike, but I can't think of a single comic I've spoken to who would disagree. You can jot down a hundred premises a day, read countless how-to books (I'd strongly advise against this) or listen to "Carlin at Carnegie" on repeat until you have every last word memorized. But none of that really matters if you're not performing.

Simple Summary: World communities are concerned about the impacts of a hotter and drier climate on future agriculture. By examining Australian regional livestock data on sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs, the authors find that livestock production will expand under such conditions. Livestock revenue per farm is expected to increase by more than 47% by 2060 under the UKMO, the GISS, and a high degree of warming CSIRO scenario. The existence of a threshold temperature for these species is not evident.
AbstractThis paper examines the vulnerabilities of major livestock species raised in Australia to climate change using the regional livestock profile of Australia of around 1,400 regions. The number of each species owned, the number of each species sold, and the aggregate livestock revenue across all species are examined. The four major species analyzed are sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs. The analysis also includes livestock products such as wool and milk. These livestock production statistics are regressed against climate, geophysical, market and household characteristics. In contrast to crop studies, the analysis finds that livestock species are resilient to a hotter and more arid climate. Under the CSIRO climate scenario in which temperature increases by 3.4 °C, livestock revenue per farm increases significantly while the number of each species owned increases by large percentages except for dairy cattle. The precipitation reduction by about 8% in 2060 also increases the numbers of livestock species per farm household. Under both UKMO and GISS scenarios, livestock revenue is expected to increase by around 47% while the livestock population increases by large percentage. Livestock management may play a key role in adapting to a hot and arid climate in Australia. However, critical values of the climatic variables for the species analyzed in this paper are not obvious from the regional data.

Chapter One
Such a love hate word. Jon loved it most of the time. When it came out of the mouth of his lover, breathless and begging for more. The dazed look of pleasure in his eyes. He loved it when his enemies begged for mercy at his feet. The thrill and power of holding a charged gun at someone's head while they cried for mercy, for another chance. Knowing that he was in complete control of there fate at that moment. It sent shivers down his spine. It was intoxicating.
The word was currently coming from his lover's mouth, but not in the lust filled tone he loved. But rather in a desperate begging tone. Not in the good way either. Then again maybe the term lover was to loving a word for what Chase was to Jon. Pet would be better. Possession would be the most accurate. Chase was his trophy. The only son of his late arch enemy. Proof he had destroyed the man and all his work. Proof he had taken everything dear from him and used at his own. Chase was his and his alone. And until recently he had thought Chase had understood that, understood that and accepted it. But it appeared that was not the case.
"You betrayed me with this filth!" Jon's tone was dangerous, the sort he usually reserved for his worse enemies. A tone which sounded every bit as dangerous as the gun in his hand, pointing down at the bloody and beaten body in front of him. The man was out cold, his body not able to withstand the beating Jon had given him when he had found out what had been going on behind his back.
The only reason he had stopped was because Chase had dived in front of the man, finally managing to escape the grasp of the men who had been forcing him to watch as Jon beat his lover to pieces. Chase was crouched over the body, as if trying to shield it from any more harm. The little good it would do. If Jon wanted too, he could easily smack Chase away and continue but he stopped. He wanted answers! His pet had been playing with another for god know how long. A simple house servant as well, someone employed to keep the house clean and in good shape. He wasn't sure if it was better or worse it wasn't one of his man picked men.
He narrowed his eyes, glaring down at the too, waiting for Chase to say something. Anything, but Chase remained silent. The man couldn't even look him in the eyes and deny it. They had been caught in the act. Jon knew had been, and if there was one thing Chase knew better then anything about Jon, it was that he hated liars. IF he wanted to live though this day, he was going to have to play his cards carefully. He could not lie to his owner. To the man who had controlled his life for a long time.
"How long?" Jon demanded, "How long have you been whoring yourself out to this... servant?" The tone of his voice now promising a very painful punishment if the answers were not given.
Gulping and keeping his eyes firmly on the floor, Chase replied, his voice barely above a whisper, "The first time was a year ago. But it wasn't until a few mouths ago we started" Chase trailed off, steeling himself to finish the answer, "Doing it regularly"
A year. All Jon could see was blind rage. His beloved pet had been cheating on him a year? Well he thought beloved. Wait, not all that time? A few months ago? What had changed a few months ago? Then it hit Jon. That's when he had gone away and left his pet on his lonesome for a month.
"Couldn't last without someone there to stick his dick up your hole Chase?" Jon yelled at the man, "Not able to last until I came back you little whore?"
"No! Master it wasn't ..." Jon slapped Chase around the face with the gun his hand, stopping his excuses.
"Liar"Roared Jon, before yanking on Chases hair and throwing him away from the man. Chase hit a mirror hanging on the wall and fell to the ground with a loud crash of glass. Sobbing, Chase force himself to his knees again. "Was I not good enough for you?" Jon said in a scarily calm tone. His eyes dark. "Did I not give you everything you needed. Everything you wanted?" He stomped over to Chase, who was shaking as the sobs ran though his body. Gripping his hair again, he pulled the man up to his feet and yelled into his face "Wasn't I?"
"Yes Master" cried Chase, blooding dripping from his mouth, and from a gash on his forehead, where the glass from the mirror had cut him. Sneering in disgust he dropped the man, letting him tumble back to the glass covered ground without care.
"If your so eager to be a whore, maybe I should start whoring you out after all. Since I'm not good enough of you. You'd like hat wouldn't you. Like having to service all my men. TO fall asleep at night full of cum" He was taunting his pet out. He'd never do it to him, but Chase didn't know that.
"please no master" begged Chase, wrapping himself around Jon's leg, sobbing into the material. "I'm sorry, but not that"
"get off me" Jon ordered coldly. "Just tell me this Chase. Why? Why betray me?" Chase didn't let go of his master's leg, sobbing harder as he realised he had no answer he could give to Jon. He could hardly say the truth and say he love the man. Seeing this only made the look in Jon's eyes colder. "I see" He gripped the back of Chases head and pulled him of him.
"Zack!" A man entered the room, bowing low, seemingly undisturbed by the scene in front of him. "Take Chase and hang him up in the cell. Twenty lashed will do it. No one is to touch him" growled Jon. Chase flinched at the number but bit his lip to stop himself saying anything. His fate had been decided and saying anything more would only make Jon angrier.
"And his injured?"
"Treat them afterwards"
Jon let go of Chase and then turned to where the man his pet had been cheating on him with was unconscious on the floor. A puddle of blood surrounding him. Just what was he going to do with this one? Killing him would be the obvious answer, but there may be a may he could get some pleasure out if this.
As Zack began to pull Chase away, Chase yelled out begging. "Master please promise me you won't kill him!" Zack continued to drag Chase out of the room, knowing it was unlikely Jon would give Chase an answer. But Jon put up his hand to signal Zack to pause for moment.
"You dare ask me to spare his live?" His tone was cold and unreadable
"Please" The word was a whimper. The last dash of hope in his pet's eyes.
"Who is your Master Chase?"
"You are master" Chases eyes moved to the floor, his posture completely submissive.
"Who makes the decisions?"
"You do master" Chases voice was still pleading but Jon could hear the hope in it draining away. For a few seconds it was deathly silence as Jon made up his mind with what he was going to do to the man.
"Know this Chase. I will not kill him. You may even see him again should he agreed to the offer I give him. However it is you who have brought this fate on him and should you fight at any point, you will not see him again for a long time" His tone was unreadable, giving no clue to what he was going to do to the man. Only that it would be more merciful to kill him.
"I understand master" Chase said, understanding completely what his master meant. Chase watch sorrowfully at his lover as he was dragged out, not knowing if he would ever see him again and knowing it was all his fault.
He wasn't bad looking, concluded Jon as he watched his captive sleep. He was trying to figure out what he had done to make his pet cheat on him. It wasn't like he abused Chase. He never hit him, never whored him out. He hadn't touched him before he was legal and had made sure he was ready for his first time. Even held off once or twice when Chase wasn't ready. He didn't call him names. Jon only occasionally slept with other people but only for business reasons, never for pleasure or any kind of feeling.
'Freedom perhaps?' wondered Jon, leaning back. Since he had claimed the boy at fifteen, he hadn't exactly given him a lot of freedom. He let him finish school, go out with his friends. Even take a girl to his school dance, though he had made sure that Chase hadn't done anything with her. But other then that, it was rare for Jon to let Chase out.
Was that it?
Did this happen because he hadn't let Chase make his own way in live. Because he had tied him to his bed side. Maybe, but Jon doubted it. Chase had always know that Jon would give him anything if he asked for it. Maybe not complete freedom, but he would have let the boy travel, go to university. Heck even get a job. Jon would have let him and understood why. So what other reason could there be?
Which led him to wondering if it had simply been out of fancy. Chase saw someone he thought was handsome and got a crush. He refused to consider the idea that Chase may have fallen in love with the man, but a crush he could understand. The man wasn't a bad looker, he was in many ways quite handsome. Admittedly he was looking at him while his skin was black and blue. Maybe under the bruises was something he was missing.
After Chase had been dragged out and to the torture room, Jon had carried the beaten man back to one of his special rooms. The bed was comfortable but had some extra additions to deal with unwilling captives. Not always to fuck them, but sometimes it was easier to tie them down to get answers from them. Even more so if they were going to be hanging around for a while. Occasionally they had a hostage and it was easy to tie them down then let them wander free as well.
The man, whose name was William Ingram according to one of his maids, was tied up. His arms above his head, his legs spread wide. None of them were tight bounds, giving the man some room to move as he slept. He was currently naked, Jon having ripped all his clothes off him, sending them to be burned. Ordering that all his know items were to be brought to that room, where he had put them on a chest of drawers by the door. So the man would be able to see them, but be unable to reach them. People got funny about there personal objects and knowing if they were okay or not.
Currently the only thing on the man's skin were bruises and a few bandages were he had potentially broken a rib. Other then his new marks, the man's skin was flawless. No scars, or blemishes. His hands were rough from hard work and he had strong leg muscles, suggesting he did a lot of running for exercise. There was no fat on him. The maid he had integrated into who this man was, had told him he biked to work everyday.
Jon sighed slightly. Studying his rival carefully. They were nothing alike, mused Jon. From personal, to appearance. William's hair was silvery blond, with natural highlights in from the hours he spent gardening on Jon's estate. His skin was tanned as well from the sun. Jon was taller and more muscled, but his features were a lot sharper then Williams, who still had a softness around his facial features which made him look young. Jon's hair was a dark brown, his skin pale.
Though Jon was very pleased and slightly smug too know he was bigger then the man in that area as well.
But still what was it that had drawn Chase to this man?
Then he was looking into blue eyes. Hazy with a mixture of sleepiness and pain, he blinked them a few times before realizing who he was looking at. For a moment, they were both silent, both caught unaware.
"you're alive" commented Jon, "Thought you'd be out a little longer to be honest"
The man growled at him, going to sit up, only to discover his current state of dress and binding. "The hell?" He snarled, struggling against the bounds, trying to pull them off. Jon only smirked, walking up to him an looming over him.
Grabbing the man's chin, he forced him to look up into his eyes. "I wouldn't fight Will, it's useless" He told the man firmly, an evil glint in his eyes, almost daring the man to talk back, to fight him. The more he fought, the more damage he could do after all.
Will snarled before spitting in his face. "You're a fucking bastard!"
Jon growled, wiping the spit from his face. "How pleasant. We haven't even gotten started and you have already resorted to cursing and insults. I had hoped Chase would have at least chosen someone respectable to cheat with" This comment was only met with another snarl. Chase had chosen a wildcat by the sounds of it.
Unwittingly, despite the reason he was doing this, something swelled up in Jon. A mixture of anticipation and of excitement. It had been a while since he had tamed someone. Suddenly Jon knew he was going to get a lot of pleasure out of this.

Recently I discovered that my blog has been removed from a blog that I have been following since day one of my blog. I finally mustered up enough nerve one day to comment and the person commented on my post and then added me to their blog roll. They had been on for about a year or so before I started writing and I really respected them and their articles so it meant a lot that they had me on their blog roll. I did notice over the course of several months that when I posted a comment on their blog, they seemed to ignore me. I thought maybe it was my imagination because I am prone to think things like that when it is not the case. It really could mean nothing but immediately when I saw that my blog was removed those events flooded my mind.
I was devastated.
It had to have been in the last few months but I just noticed about two days ago and ever since I have been an emotional basket case. All kinds of thoughts running through my head. Questions racing about what I could have done wrong, what did I say, did I offend them? What was it to have caused me to be removed??? I thought about emailing them and then thought better of it. I mean really, how silly is it for a person to be so upset about another person, who they really do not know, removing them from their blog roll? Rationally, I can see many reasons for this happening and it having nothing to do with me. However, my brain is not allowing me to stay in the rational state. I feel betrayed, hurt and confused.
That is why I am writing this.
I am not writing this to try to make sure no one takes me off of their blog roll, everyone has a right to do whatever with their blog. That situation is actually not the real issue here, the real issue is my fear of rejection, fear that people do not like me, fear that I have done something wrong, fear that it's not ok to share what I am feeling. I need to write about this, I have to if I want to overcome it. I read a quote recently by Eleanor Roosevelt "I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him." I am facing a fear right now, this whole blog is about me facing my fears. All through out my life I have been unable to share what I am feeling openly.
When I decided to write this blog, I was full of fear that people would misunderstand me.
I was afraid that when people read my words that they would tell me how wrong I was or ostracize me, like so many others in this world. After writing for over a year, I was feeling pretty safe being able to write my rants, ideas and all of the things about our family. I felt safe in the community of people that I had encountered. The day that I saw my blog removed, I no longer felt safe. I felt rejected by my own. There is no place that is safe. No place, there is no place that wants me. I understand that these emotions are quite extreme and that my anxiety and fears are accentuated due to many factors going on right now in my life. I get this, my rational side understands this but the one thing in my brain that repeats it over and over and all of the past voices of rejection hammering the rational voice down is just too much for me to handle.
I feel by writing this down I will be able to face my fear of talking about what I am feeling.
I have to remind myself that it is ok to have these feelings, I am not wrong in my emotions. I am allowed to say this, I am allowed to talk about what hurts me. I need to so that my rational voice can bring me back to my normalcy. As I write this though, I feel people who read this may misinterpret me. They may think that it is all about being removed, that I am being childish, irrational and responding in a way that is too extreme. Some of those may be true but I believe I know why it was such a trigger for me. I will list them out with a brief explanation.
1) It is the holidays, this time of year is always extremely stressful for me. It is a hard time because of the uncertainty of everything, there is constant change from October to January and it makes me quite emotional. In one of my other posts, I had stated that I usually have about three major meltdowns by now. This is my first for the holiday season, we are almost at the end of it, so I think I have progressed a bit this year.
2) I have been much more social this year. It has been about two or three years since I have been actively going out during the holidays to places, parties, this was the first year we have ever left the house on Thanksgiving and we have been going out with the whole family more. In the past it was mainly Ariel who would get to go places but this year we have been taking the boys on more adventures because it has become possible to do so. All of this is new to me and is an additional stress factor that I usually do not have. It is good, actually it is awesome, but it is still a lot.
3) Daniel has been having a rough couple of days after a party we went to. I usually am not able to think clearly or sleep well when he is having a hard time like this. I see that this could be another major contributor to me having such an extreme response to the situation.
4) My grandma is coming in a few days, Christmas is coming up this weekend, I am both excited and anxious. Anxious in a good way. The problem is that with all of these above factors, trying to relax and find peace has been very difficult so my brain is in a constant state of what feels like bees buzzing around my head and my eyes see the world as a fuzzy blur.
5) Our car isn't working so we are having to rely on my Mother to help us right now and it always stresses me out to get help from others because I feel like I am messing up their whole life and I don't want to be a burden. My Mother knows me too well, without me saying a word she continues to reassure me that we are not being a burden.
6) I miss all of my family that is out-of-state. I haven't seen my Dad, Step mom, my other sisters, nieces, nephew or my Aunt in a very long time. It has been about three years since I have seen my Dad. Sometimes it sounds like he gets a bad rap on my blog but he is a really great Dad in many ways. I will write about that at a later time.
7) I feel so isolated. It is strange that with all of the social stuff that I have been doing, I feel isolated. The truth is that the more social I am the more I see how different I am. I go blank when people talk to me, unless they get me talking about something that I am interested in, I cannot talk. I blurt things out without realizing it, many people think that it is funny but still no one else does it, except David. Ha ha ha I usually find myself sitting by myself watching others talking, laughing, having fun and I feel like I am an invisible observer that no one sees. Of course this isn't true but the only comfort I find in most social gatherings is when I am with children or animals. So I am always thankful if there are lots of children or animals around.
8)In reference to #7, this makes me feel rejected. Even though no one has rejected me, this is what I feel. I believe this is what caused me to have such an extremely emotional response to the whole being removed thing. It is a horrible feeling to feel rejected by others but then to feel rejected by a person in my "safe" community was just too much. We are supposed to understand one another, I thought we connected at some point, I thought that maybe I had something to contribute to this community and now it feels as if my words mean nothing. My life is not validated by a fellow Aspie.
As I write this I know that it sounds over the top.
I do, I know that this is all emotional and had I noticed after the holidays and things had settled down I am sure I would have felt some of this but not to the extreme. It's really not a big deal and I am kind of thankful that it happened because it has made me face some things that I haven't wanted to face. I am scared about sharing my writings because I fear that others will think that it is not good enough, I fear that if I share my feelings that people will misunderstand, then attack and cause me to go curl up in my cave again. I fear that my writings, my life, my feelings, my contribution to this world is not valuable.
So today I face those fears.
I am writing these out and I am sick to my stomach, tears welling up but I am writing. I am going to post this and I am going to be ok. I am not going to allow circumstances beyond my understanding influence me to be scared. Just because I am overwhelmed and emotional doesn't mean I am not allowed to talk about it. I really dislike feeling this way because I feel weak. I need to feel weak sometimes so I can pull up strength and move forward. I hope this is a post leading to my freedom from some of these fears.
Well there you have it, I am exposed with all of my irrational feelings and the reasons behind them.

Ha ha Charles, yes, let the word ring out! Monday morning August 8th, Yankee blog-soil will mix with Brit "grit" as London writer, Alan Griffiths debuts his latest piece of flash fiction, "Two Fingers of Noir." This story will serve as some readers' first introduction to the colorful language and style of British noir. I love the story and figure it's a terrific introduction of "Brit Grit" to North American readers. That means you, too, Canada!

- To apply, go to www.collegefund.com/scholarships and choose the appropriate scholarship category (undergraduate attending a tribal college, undergraduate attending a mainstream college, or graduate student) to begin the application process.
When are applications open?
- Full Circle scholarship applications are open from January 1st to May 31st each year.
- TCU scholarship applications are open at the beginning of every spring and fall semester, although exact dates vary by school. Contact your financial aid office for details.
When will I be notified if I am awarded or not?
- Notification emails will be sent to all applicants by early August to notify you if you have been awarded or not awarded. Letters will also be mailed to all recipients at that time. Additionally, students may log into the online application system at any time to check the status of their application under the "Applications" tab.
Is eligibility based on blood quantum (blood degree or percentage)?
- No, your eligibility is determined by your enrollment in a state or federally recognized tribe or the ability to prove descendancy to an enrolled member.
Which tribes are eligible to apply?
- Any state or federally recognized tribal members or Alaska Natives are eligible to apply. You can also be eligible by proving descendancy to a parent or immediate grandparent that is/was an enrolled member of a state or federally recognized tribe or Alaska Native.
How would I be eligible based on descendancy?
- To be eligible based on descendancy, you must provide tribal enrollment documentation of your parent(s) or immediate grandparent(s) and birth certificates that connect you to the parent/grandparent.
Am I eligible if I'm a Canadian citizen or a member of a Canadian tribe (i.e. First Nations, Blood Tribe, etc.)?
- No, unless you are attending an American college and are eligible under the terms of the Jay Treaty.
What is the difference between a TCU and a mainstream college?
- A TCU refers to tribal colleges and universities, which are generally tribally-owned and operated. There are currently 34 accredited TCUs across the country, as shown in this map.
- A mainstream college or university is any educational institution that is not tribally-owned; this includes universities, colleges, community colleges, and other not-for-profit educational institutions.
What is the difference between the TCU scholarship program and the Full Circle scholarship program?
- The TCU scholarship program is for tribal college students. It is administered each semester by the financial aid office of each tribal college and university. This means that the deadlines and requirements vary according to each TCU. Contact your financial aid office for more information.
- The Full Circle scholarship program is for both tribal college and mainstream students. This program provides academic year-long scholarships (2 semesters) and is administered by the American Indian College Fund. Students must be enrolled full-time and have a minimum 2.0 GPA. There are also graduate scholarships available through the Full Circle scholarship.
How do I apply for a specific scholarship (APS, Estee Lauder, Coke, Toyota, Nissan, etc.)?
- You don't. By submitting your TCU and/or Full Circle scholarship application, you will be considered for all the programs you are eligible for based on the information provided in your application.
Is my school eligible?
- If your school is a tribal college or a public or private (non-profit) mainstream college or university, you are eligible to apply. If you are not sure if your private school is a not-for-profit institution, you can check here. For-profit college and university students are not eligible.
What does the application consist of?
- The application requires you to submit the information and essay electronically and upload the necessary documents.
Is my scholarship continuous/renewable?
- No, each student must resubmit an application every year, regardless if they were awarded a scholarship the previous year.
What should I put in the essay?
- To write a great essay, be sure to answer each of the three questions that are listed within the application. Use professional language and make sure to use the spell/grammar check feature provided. Other tips for writing a winning scholarship essay can be found here.
What if I don't see my tribe, major, or school as an option in the drop down menu when I type it into the "Search" bar?
- If this happens, you need to choose "Other" from the drop down menu and then manually type it in. We try to have the majority of possible tribes, majors, and schools available however, so double check your spelling before choosing "Other."
Does my transcript(s) have to be official?
- No, your transcript can be unofficial but it must contain your cumulative GPA, not just the term GPA.
Can I leave the GPA box blank if I am just out of high school or finished high school many years ago?
- No, the GPA box must be filled with your most recent cumulative GPA, even if that is from a high school transcript. Whether you graduated high school a few months ago or a few decades ago, you need to use your most recent or last cumulative GPA which can be found on your transcript.
Do I need to turn in a new transcript after the semester is over?
- No, your application will be evaluated based on the information you provided at the time of submission.
The online application is now open to all college students.

Is it possible to install SQL instances with different Collations in a SQL Cluster
We have a two node active-active SQL Server 2008 Cluster. Running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
The three excisting instances have Latin1_General_CI_AS as the Server Collation. I need to add an instance with SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS as the Server Collation.
Is this a supported configuration?
Every MSSQL Server instance is a complete, stand-alone database server system.
The Server collation is, therefore, unique to each instance.
This is obvious when you install an instance – you can specify the server collation at that moment.
Check more discussion of this question.

Character Role Analysis
Hamm to Nagg
In Nagg's "Character Analysis" we go into this in a bit more detail, but the point is that Hamm and Nagg are similar to each other in all sorts of ways. They are father and son, after all. Each wants to be the center of attention whenever he is on the stage. Both are narcissistic and both are childish. Both are needy: Nagg for his pap and Hamm for his painkiller. Both enjoy telling jokes and long stories, and they want the people around them to be amused and/or impressed by them.
Now, here are two important differences. First, Hamm is in power and Nagg is not. If Hamm is the monarch of the room, then Nagg is what Hamm will look like when he is deposed and someone else takes over. Second, Nagg has something that Hamm does not: a wife that he loves. Nagg and Nell's relationship is the most compassionate one in the play. We have to wonder what Hamm will look like alone, as the end of the play suggests he might be.

The Washington Street Bridge detour ... what a fiasco!
According to ODOT southbound traffic is to use "Interstate 77 to U.S. 50 to Ohio 7" or vice versa for northbound traffic. It did not appear from the truck traffic going through Marietta on Tuesday that anyone was aware of a detour.
The detour debacle only seems to emphasize the ever-increasing truck traffic through Marietta. Large trucks drive through our residential neighborhoods, past two school zones and the main entrance to the hospital, while it seems our community leaders welcome them with open arms.
Why were millions of dollars spent on the U.S. 50 bypass? Since we've already paid for it, shouldn't that route be utilized instead of truck traffic passing through town? I'm sure there are concerns that funding for road repairs would be affected, but the condition of the roads would not deteriorate as quickly without the heavy truck traffic.
The citizens of Washington County would not support the construction of another bridge across the Muskingum River, but that does not mean that our residential neighborhoods should have to suffer. The traffic that is "just passing through" town has the option of using the U.S. 50 bypass. Through traffic should be discouraged for the safety and betterment of our community!

'American Idol': The Top 12 Compete
Tonight's "American Idol" made it clear: some singers are creeping toward the top of the heap in a very overt way. Others are still struggling to find themselves and who they want to be as a performers. And the judges aren't holding back on who they like and who they think needs some work.
One bit of news: Steven Tyler seemed to suggest he'd joined James Durbin on stage for a performance later in the season so if voters want to see this happen, they better keep James alive 'til Steven steps up.
Naima Adedapo kicked it all off with a funky, but "pitchy" (according to Jennifer Lopez) version of "What's Love Got to Do With It." Randy Jackson said the vocals "were all over the place." Steven seems to be a big fan of Naima's and her unique and fun nature.
"I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues" was Paul McDonald's song for the night. He was apparently struggling with a cold. Still, the "new ingenue" was how Randy described him. Steven said Paul is a "cool dude in a loose mood," with a very distinctive voice.
Randy could barely get out the words "safe and boring" above the boos from the audience after Thia Magia sang (Her song: "Colors of the Wind" from the 1995 animated film "Pocahontas"). Boos for him about to criticize, not her singing. Steven and JLo agreed with Randy and thought her ballad-esque performance wasn't up to snuff. Thia thought it was appropriate for the mood of the world right now.
Who better to rock a little Bon Jovi (song: "I'll Be There For You") than James Durbin? Destined to be a star with his signature tale Steven warned him: "don't get too poppy on me." JLo said he was great enough to make her want to sing along. Randy was most impressed with James ability to "make it your own."
Haley Reinhart (Her song: Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight") still seemed to struggle with finding some comfort on stage and as Randy pointed out she has been all over the map on her music choices, suggesting maybe she's not sure who she is as a performer.
Stefano Langone in his high-top sneaks belted out a very unique rendition of "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and got a "best performance of the night," from Randy. JLo said, "you could take this thing…if you stay right there." Will America agree with the gushing judges?
Consistently awesome, the judges were grooving to Pia once again (Her song Whitney's "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"). Steven said, "You are why the show is called American Idol." Randy warned the rest of the gang: "Pia is in the competition to win it!"
Scotty McCreery never strays from his country strong voice — he could melt butter with it. Tonight was no exception (His song: Travis Tritt's "Can I Trust You With My Heart"). JLo thought he even "pushed it out there." He may not win this contest, but he'll have a country career ahead.
The only remaining online contestant is Karen Rodriguez (Her song: Taylor Dayne's "Love Will Lead You Back," with English and Spanish lyrics). "Better than last week," from Randy isn't exactly a compliment, but he did say "welcome back." JLo thought she really attacked it.
Casey Abrams' risk paid off with Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to such a degree that Steven said he is "the goop the great stuff is made from."
Lauren Alaina performed like a champ with her Melissa Etheridge showing (song: "I'm the Only One") and the judges were digging it. Lauren too has the flu and Steven and Randy made clear her scratchiness helped her voice.
Jacob Lusk, with his usual range and bigness, belted out another fabulous performance with "Alone" (a song popularized by the pop-rock act Heart among others) and got a triple "yo" from Randy, who conceded there were some missteps, but that Jacob found his way quickly. Steven said, "Gospel had a baby and they called it Jacob."
So we'll see if America agrees.
During the Live open of the show, the judges and Ryan Seacrest told the audience that at the end of the show, viewers could download the songs performed and the profits would go to the Red Cross to help the people of Japan.
Who do you think rocked it most?

It's the season for shopping, and most people are out in the malls lugging bags of Christmas presents around.
Apart from the aching feet, a lot of these people are ending up with a common malady called "Shopping Bag-itis." It comes from overloading and overusing the muscles, ligaments and joints of the spine.
Doctors say it can affect anyone, even if you're in the best of shape, and don't have a history of back pain.
Doctors say there are some things you can do to prevent Shopping Bag-itis.
If you still hurt, doctors say hot showers, massages, and anti-inflammatory medication can do the trick. Wearing comfortable shoes can ease the pain in your feet while shopping. And remember to take breaks in between shopping, and drink plenty of water.

Congrats Eduardo.
I used to have a 12.000 m2 property 70 kms from Buenos Aires...but commuting to and from work for my wife and me was a nightmare, so although it was initially meant to be a place to live in, we finally sold it. I might regret it someday....:-/

ANTIOCH -- A Tuesday afternoon shooting that left one man dead and another critically wounded -- the latest in a series of shootings that wounded 12 other people in as many days -- prompted city leadership to authorize putting a violent crime suppression team onto streets in an effort to reassure residents.
Police said a 23-year-old Pittsburg man was killed and a 28-year-old Antioch man was critically wounded in the shooting at 2:34 p.m. Tuesday at the Delta View Apartments in the 3900 block of Delta Fair Boulevard.
An unknown dispute began at one end of the complex, according to Sgt. Santiago Castillo. Police arriving on the scene found the Pittsburg man dead in a car at the other end of the complex. His identity was not immediately released.
The Antioch man was found about two blocks away at another apartment complex on Hudson Court. Police said the man was shot in the Delta View Apartments parking lot but fled the scene. That man was still in surgery early Tuesday evening, police said.
Police were still investigating and had not released any information on suspects, motive or arrests.
The killing is the fifth homicide in Antioch this year, all since April, and follows a bloody 11-day period where 12 other people were wounded by gunfire in the city, including seven people who were shot at a house party on June 28. An 11-year-old boy was shot Thursday but was expected to survive; police arrested a 14-year-old boy in that shooting later the same day.
Mayor Wade Harper said Tuesday that, after talking to police Chief Allan Cantando and City Manager Steve Duran, the city will launch a proactive violent crime suppression team effort, as Duran used his authority to authorize overtime for law enforcement efforts.
Harper expressed his frustration that the city had reduced crime in the first part of the year and is hiring officers, but the recent spate of gun violence has made residents feel unsafe.
"It feels like we take one step forward and two steps back," Harper said. "Whenever there's a spike in crime, we have to step up and increase our enforcement to get guns and violent criminals off the street. We need to address this crime problem."
"Cities of our size are going to go through spikes from time to time, so hopefully putting the extra resources toward it will be a calming measure," Cantando said.
Police had been doing monthly targeted enforcement details. Now, every week, they will be in various locations and at differing times, Cantando said.
The chief is also in contact with resources in the FBI, CHP and other local agencies, Harper said.
Police ask anyone with information about the shooting to call them at 925-778-2441.
